| TOK 258 owes
it special place in Morgan motorsport history to Christopher Lawrence,
who bought the nearly new Plus Four in 1958. He went on to win the Freddy
Dixon Trophy in 1959, with 19 wins out of 23 rounds, and in the same year
secured the two-litre lap record at Silverstone and led the two-litre
class during the Goodwood TT.
In 1962 Christopher and co-driver Richard Shepperd-Baron drove TOK to victory in the two-litre class at the ’24 heures du Mans’. Following the car’s Le Mans success it went on to secure a class win in the 1963 Grand Prix due Spa three-hour GT race, a class win at the Nurburgring and another finish in the Goodwood TT. In 1965 the car won the Freddy Dixon Trophy for a second time. Following several years when the car was unseen on the race circuit, TOK 258 was purchased by Rick Bourne in 2001 who carried out a sympathetic restoration of the car in order to return her to the track. She now competes in the International Historic Gentlemen Drivers Series and other selected events. Co-driven by the very experienced Keith Ahlers, TOK and team now enjoy running at the front of this very prestigious series.
