Tom Morgan, #3 1956 Morgan 4/4 - Tom acquired a red 1959 MG A roadster in 1983 and campaigned it as a vintage race car for over 20 years, developing it from a street-legal production car to a full-race competitor while keeping true to vintage racing’s spirit and authenticity. In early 2000, Tom got a call from one of his ‘fans’ in the Morgan Owners Group telling him about a ‘vintage-race-ready’ 1956 Morgan 4/4 for sale by the widow of the previous owner. 'I've got to buy it,' he told his wife Beverly, 'It has my name on it.' Tom took some time to get the Morgan ready for competition, but he's been driving the right-hand roadster in vintage race events for several years. At the 2009 Wine Country Classic featuring Morgan as the honored marque (celebrating 100 years of the Morgan Car Company), Tom led the all-Morgan race for several laps and wife Beverly drove the race car in the all-Morgan parade at lunchtime. Tom is the driver and mechanic for his vintage race car, while wife Beverly is his pit boss. Beverly has also performed the National Anthem over 200 times at events.
