The Meeus Jaguar XK140

Dominicus and Johanna Meeus drove this Jaguar XK140 on the Around the World Motor Challenge, seen here in China, now set for the African Safari.... it finished the longest rally ever on Chevy wheels, after all the Jaguar ones buckled in Alaska....Chevy wheels? Philip Young happened to remember a test-day with former rally champion John Sprinzel at Mallory Park in 1979, with a Jaguar Mk7 saloon that ran on Chevy wheels.... a bit of totally useless information, until you go rummaging around Alaska junk yards wondering how to get the two-seater version to stay in a rally! The hub centres are identical, should you ever buckle yours while you're in Alaska.
