Re: Austin A60
Surely if the car is in very good nick it should fetch about R20000 to R25000. If it's like that, it has become a collectors item and therefore must be sought after. The problem is parts. Are the readily available?

Re: THE SPRINGBOK SERIES
It is unfortunate that the petrol story affected the country so badly. I had forgotten. I still say it would be nice if the series could be started again.
Are they still using methanol in go karts and oval racing?

Re: Fairlanes
I love the interior decor of those cars. It fits the period perfectly. I hope you will keep it that way.

Re: Racing Sports Cars
In the sixties there were two car builders by the names of Eric Brockhoven and Steve Mellet. Has anyone got info on them? I knew of a Mirage at some time.

Re: 1967 Ford Zodiac Mk4
Regarding the introduction of the V4 to South Africa, it happened a while before the Zephyr MKIV. In the early 1960's Ford Germany had on the market the Taunus 17M P3 which I think was powered by a V4. It is evident that there were a lot of mongrel cars available on the market in those days. The 20M...

I was going to hoot to find out how many were in the car but...

Re: Vauxhall Cresta OD
Remember the Vauxhall Viscount and the 101. They weren't such bad cars, just British.
