Images from Brooklands Morgan Day 7/10/2012

Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, Surrey

I make no apology for the large number of my photos which feature the Morgan Roadster 100' in this Topic. R100 owner Chris Attwood undertook the task of inviting as many of the Members of The Morgan Centenary Roadster 100 Register to gather together at Brooklands under our Registers Banner in the places allocated to us by the Brooklands Museum organisers.

We were Eight Cars in Total with Seven Roadster 100 and Register Founder, David Harris's New Power Upgraded Roadster.

The weather was kind to us once the Fog and Haze started to clear into warm sunshine. The event was not as well supported by the wider Morgan Community with many friends missing this year. The Test Hill was opened in the afternoon but only a dozen cars used it for a couple of laps each.

It was a fantastic day with Brooklands living up to its best. We need another day to re visit the displays as we spent much of the day meeting and chatting - wonderful.

 This Schematic shows the Track as it was over the Museum area. The Track used to cross over the River Wey where there is a gap on the left end. There used to be a dip in the track there called 'The Yump' 




 Still Fund Raising for Help for Heroes - we raised another £20.

  1. Excellent post, extremely interesting. We visited Brooklands some weeks ago and found it fascinating, but the access you provided via photos to the Members areas enhanced our knowledge of the place.
