Great to have documentation, but various clubs still have rules that either
group cars based on the degree of modification, or simply don't allow some
modifications regardless of how it was done in the old days. That seems to
be hard to grasp for some people! You're doing the right thing by getting
your clubs tech rep involved from the get-go. A Mk2 jag is a great car to
vintage race, but not one likely to set new lap records...just fun records!
