The Jaguar we owned for around thirty one years is an entry in this years rally, by all accounts the car went well on its shake down drive to Port Elizabeth and back to Cape Town.
The rally started at the Cape Grace Hotel, V and A Waterfront, Cape Town at 8am on May 2nd.
This was the basis of the cars preparation for its new owner who was flying in with his wife from Australia.
Greg and Jenny bought the car unseen and on the basis of a phone call. The car is a 1966 Jaguar S type which I restored over the years, it has won the Jaguar Car Club concour' s event five times in its class.
The nice Motolita wood rim wheel was removed and replaced with the correct and much stronger original Jaguar steering wheel!
This is the route

Twenty six days of rally driving in classic cars,the cost? GBP 24,000 (Rands 430,000?) for this years entry which was sold out, the next event may be in 2017?
To take a fine car like this and prepare it for a 26 day rally around Southern Africa is not a low cost item, we can search out and prepare similar cars and of other makes, you will still find this option less expensive than preparing your own car and shipping it to South Africa?
