Lawrencetune - contemporary keyring - collector's item

A Lawrencetune keyring which will probably have been produced around 20 years ago .

We have just this one example of this keyring to offer – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled .

This keyring will have been produced many years after Lawrencetune’s main period of activity .

We would not think that this keyring is an original item commissioned by Chris Lawrence although it was being used in a Morgan car when we received it .

The badge on this keyring has lost most of the red enamel as can be seen in the listing photos .

It would originally have been a chequerboard design of red enamel & nickel plating – now almost all that remains are the nickel plated areas .

The badge is mounted onto a keyfob in black faux leather .

Chris Lawrence and his Lawrencetune operation had begun developing the Morgan Plus 4 with Triumph TR engine for racing in the late 1950s.

By 1961 Lawrence was running the Morgan factory works team .

The Lawrencetune prepared Morgans became the factory built Morgan Plus 4 Super Sports offered by the Morgan factory .

The famous Lawrencetune +4 TOK 258 later won the 2 Litre class at Le Mans in 1962 .

The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive .
