I saw it when I visited his other location in Bodega but it’s in Europe now, seeing some track time with the other two Morgan-chassis’d SLRs and the one TR-chassis’d example. He still owns the original Plus 8 prototype, which used a Plus 4 (originally TR-powered) chassis and body and was fitted with a Buick or Olds engine because the Rover versions weren’t available yet.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Duncan<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 2, 2018, at 12:49 PM, R.
