ALFA (SUD) EXPORT GTA

Hey Guys Around 1981 the Alfa Sud became the Alfa Export in SA. Towards the end of the run in 1983/4, a South African only special edition GTA was launched. Apparently all were in metallic brown with green pin-stipe around the bumper and door moulding trim. They had an up-specced 103HP 1500 boxer en...

FIAT 128 RALLY

Hi Guys Does anyone have any information on the RSA built cars? I was under the impression that they were all 2 door and 1300cc. I've recently come across information to suggest that they made 4 door Rallys in South Africa and some of them even had the smaller 1100cc motors. Any Fiat gurus on this f...

Re: SA Built Fairmont GT confiscated in New Zealand

As South Africans we enjoy the "lawlessness" if it works in our favour, but detest it when it works against us. While this instance is harsh, Australia and NZ take their road obligations seriously. With all of the V8's sold there, burnouts are quite a big problem. Every weekend you can hear the Ford...

Re: SA ASSEMBLED HOLDEN HR SPECIAL - CARB DETAILS

I've been trying to load photos, but I can't for some or other reason. I can't load as attachments or with photobucket, says the photo must be less than 500kb, but I have scaled them down to 42kb???

Re: Registration and fines

In the Eastern Cape, if the license hasn't been paid for 5 years, the car is automatically "archived" and deregistered. This happened to my 2002 and I had it put back onto the system without any penalties or arrears. It was not classed a rebuild either as I showed them the original docs. Had to go t...

SA ASSEMBLED HOLDEN HR SPECIAL - CARB DETAILS

Hi Guys Anyone out there with knowledge on the RSA assembled Holden HR Special Station wagon, circa 1967? I believe these were assembled with the GM sourced Chev 3100 motor (194.4ci) which is different to the Oz supplied Holden 186 Red motor. My carb is leaking and the auto-choke mechanism is wired ...
