The second part of the name refers to 24 Hours Le Mans 1962, proof that they won in their category and that they remain as one of the big milestones. Only six decades had passed since that feat, they considered that this was the ideal time to launch special edition very exclusive and full of details.

In the same color appears a circle with the number 29 on both sides. Another exterior details it’s the silver painted wire wheels, the Le Mans style fuel filler cap or the LM62 logo in some places.
In the The Morgan Plus Four LM62 also includes a special edition plate and high-quality elements such as a satin-lacquered rubber mat, Tawny wood dashboard or Black leather Comfort Plus seat which is heated. This model can also be customized with some details from the examples that won its category at Le Mans 60 years ago, such as the Moto-Lita steering wheel, headlight bands or the mirrors with chrome interior.
