Jenkins 2.0 litre Merc was a carb model not the hot injected type as used before the 2.4 OZ series started. These two pictures have a connection strangely enough and that is Jenkins bought that same no 7 seebold boat in 1979 and had it painted in the yellow Gordons Gin livery and used it as his club boat.But moved up to the 2.4 OZ class in 79 he even race a T4 Seebold outfit in one race in the UK.
