John McCormack’s Charger and Jaguar
The National Automobile Museum in Launceston has John’s Charger and Jaguar on display, before they head south to Baskerville for the annual historic race meeting.
The Charger is an incredible bit of engineering, and John must be a great thinker, engineer, innovator, driver and not to mention bloody stone deaf after sitting next to that bellowing engine. Likewise the Unipart Jaguar is an engineering marvel, but unfortunately it was not as easy to access for a closer look. |

They will waffle on during Sandown about a .1 of a second gain, because they changed the springs, or polished the rear wing in a clockwise fashion with organic carnuaba wax, analysed data until the cows come, a full workshop of staff building bits and pieces with all the very best equipment at hand- yet this weapon would have been built by hand, a few close associates, a very limited budget, and yet a race winning machine.
Full marks to Mark Trenoweth for restoring them and racing them. |
