I'm contemplating a D or C type Jaguar replica, which I would hope to use for some longish trips..Le Mans Classic etc. Now being originally racing cars they don't have boots. A certain amount of soft stuff, maybe in plastic bags, can be stuffed up on top of the spare wheel ( or take a risk and leave the spare at home...risky).
I wouldn't want to drill the bodywork to fit a rack...has anyone used a Revo Rack?

Was it any good?...any other ideas I can't be the first to ask....?

I'd do away with the spare wheel.

Think about the last time you actually used a spare wheel. I've not used a spare wheel in my 8years of driving.

I've had one instance where I hit I big pothole and broke the sidewall of a tyre, but I put a can of gunk in it and made it to the nearest tyre place okay where I got them to change it over no problem.

Granted it might be a little more challenging on a jag C type which requires special size/tread.

Are they tubeless?

I carry around some tyre levers and a couple of tubes just in case I get caught out. But to be honest, with the quantities of traffic on most roads now, I wouldn't fancy changing a wheel on any but the smallest of roads anyway!

Agree with above post. I have had a few Morgans over the past 20 years and when I was going on holiday I always removed the spare wheel for extra luggage space. Carried a can of gunk for emergencies but never ever had a puncture. The last Morgan I had, a Super Sport had no spare anyway.
