BL works team @ Dakar??

[cybersdorf]

A Jaguar XJ4.2 is taking part in this year's Dakar rally - currently in 120th place or thereabouts.
All I can say is, good luck.

Jeez, these axles look familiar!



I wish them all the best!

[cybersdorf]

Note that even though they are Dutch, they are not towing a trailer!

I had those tyres, fantastic performance off-road

[cybersdorf]

...were they ever a factory option?
Anyway, if they actually make it to the finish you will never hear a Leyland joke from me again, ever. I love the idea.
The engine is a Rover V8, although appropriately a 4.2l.

You didn't actually think of British Elend did you?

Easy now, this thing is still infinitely sexier than a Porsche Cayenne!

[Graham.J]

Probably a darn sight better off road too

[cybersdorf]

Rear vision is lousy, though...

[cybersdorf]

Still running!
