In 1962 Chris Lawrence paired with Richard Shepherd-Baron obtained a historic class victory at Le Mans 24 hours driving a Morgan Plus 4 modified by Lawrence himself, equipped with a 2.1 liter Triumph engine. At the beginning of 1964, Chris Lawrence, inspired by the Morgan Pus 4 class victory at Le Mans designed the Morgan Plus 4 SLR in collaboration with John Sprinzel, the famous driver of touring and rally cars of the late 1950s. Intended for small scale production, the SLR (SLR = Sprinzel Lawrence Racing) was officially presented at the Racing Car Show in London in 1964. Only three cars were produced the SLR2, SLR3 and SLR4 in addition to the first model the SLR1, which used the chassis of a Triumph TR4. Two of the three cars were destined to customers and one, the SLR3, remained at the same designer and driver Lawrence. The car featured a very streamlined, aerodynamic bodywork made of aluminum that did not resemble any of the Morgan's produced to that date. The car used (except the first produced) the chassis of the modified Morgan Plus 4 and also the engine was the same 2.1-liter 4-cylinder Triumph derivation of the Morgan Plus 4 but with the modified head and with new Weber carburetors that increased the power up to 165 hp. All 3 Morgan Plus 4 SLR were used intensively in racing, often driven by Chris Lawrence himself and they still exist, beautifully restored and beautifully on track.

Nel 1962 Chris Lawrence in coppia con Richard Shepherd-Baron ottennero una storica vittoria di classe alla 24 ore di Le Mans pilotando una Morgan Plus 4 modificata dallo stesso Lawrence, dotata di un motore Triumph da 2,1 litri. All’inizio del 1964 Chris Lawrence, ispirato dalla vittoria di classe della Morgan Pus 4 a Le Mans, progettò la Morgan Plus 4 SLR in collaborazione con John Sprinzel, famoso pilota di vetture turismo e rally della fine degli anni 50. Destinata a una produzione in piccola serie, la SLR (SLR = Sprinzel Lawrence Racing) fu presentata ufficialmente al Racing Car Show di Londra nel 1964. Solo tre vetture furono prodotte la SLR2, SLR3 e SLR4 oltre al primo modello, la SLR1, che utilizzava il telaio di una Triumph TR4. Due delle tre vetture furono destinate a clienti e una, la SLR3, rimase allo stesso progettista e pilota Lawrence. La vettura presentava una carrozzeria molto filante e aerodinamica costruita in alluminio che non assomigliava affatto a nessuna delle Morgan prodotte fino a quel momento. La vettura utilizzava (tranne la prima prodotta) il telaio della Morgan Plus 4 modificato e anche il motore era lo stesso 4 cilindri da 2,1 litri di derivazione Triumph della Morgan Plus 4 ma con la testata modificata e con nuovi carburatori Weber che ne aumentarono la potenza fino a 165 CV. Tutte e 3 le Morgan Plus 4 SLR vennero utilizzate intensamente nelle corse, spesso pilotate dallo stesso Chris Lawrence ed esse esistono tuttora, splendidamente restaurate e splendidamente in pista.
