Team JAM will be driving for 48 hours in John's Triumph 2500 Mk 2. He's carried out extensive mechanical renovation in preparation for the event, with collective input from the team helping with the engine and gearbox refurbishment. They'll leave Knebworth House this evening (6/10), travel north to John O'Groats before returning south to Lands End, finishing back at Knebworth House on Sunday (8/10).
John says it's a great way to put his passion, and car, to good use:
