This is being held tomorrow, weather and hurricanes permitting, my ex boss is showing 3 rare Jaguars all of which I spent many hours Tig welding the alloy on, and beating it back to shape, hence ex boss  |

Thank you, roving reporter. I've always wondered -were mark 2 Jags fitted with wire wheels as standard, as a factory option, or not at all? Seems almost every example I see has them, but I actually prefer steels, (they just look more ...serious to me, not so showy). |

wire wheels were a factory option, make sure you get the left and right hand hubs the right way around, 'cos the wheels fall off else  . Something to do before I die? learn how to spoke a wheel, fascinating. |

Speak to my brother, Mr Brock. He laces wheels for drag cars.
When I was a teenager I used to take my Brit bike rims to Bettie, the old lady at the local bike shop, (or at least she seemed old when I was 18). She'd straighten out my wobbly spokes almost while I waited -turns out she was Mr Olds' aunt.

My dad used to do that as a second income, I was to "busy" to learn things like that, I had girls to chase, leather jacket to wear, get the picture? Hindsite, is a truly great thing

Know what you mean. I was sent packing from Bettie's shop on more than one occasion for being "lippy" to her. Obviously, being an 18 year old lad, I knew it all.
It'd only be after she'd banned me from the shop till I apologised that I'd realise she had my wheels & I was going nowhere till I'd slunk back in & mumbled an apology.
