Don't think that I'nm a know all because I am not but I must comment on this car because you've just brought back my very earliest memory of Motorsport and the very first time I touched a race car.
This car and another at least one other was at the Old Mill Garage in Mowbray. My dad had a "Fruit Shop/Cafe on the opposite side of the main road about 200 meters away. As many Porra laaities we had to go help out there after school and all that but on Saturdays was when I liked going there most as I discovered this garage and used to go there when only the pump attendents were on duty. There was access to the workshop at the back and there I saw these cars. In later years when I got to know Chevron B19 type cars I always thought the cars I had seen as a child were Chevrons. Which at some stage there could have been a Chevron in and out there.
Only some years ago Malcom Uitenbogaard took me to Louis De Jager's place and there I saw this car in his garage awaiting restoration. It had I think an Audi motor in it. For me this was quite something to just touch this car again after so many years and probably the cause of the years that followed following motorspot.
As you may notice my interests are diverse with Classic Cars or Racing Classics. But I and others are getting fed up with the farce within Classics lately. There seems to be more politics in it than in Group N and in some cases bigger budgets running these old cars which are SPOILED by being made monster power silhouette cars. That's not what many of us want to see. Anyway best we leave it there because of the politics.
This car was my earliest experince with regards racing cars. The next was when my dad moved from Mowbray to a Cafe right next to William Hunts in Cape Town On their showroom window right outside our door was a poster of the "Little Chev" Rest is history !
