At the moment the car is dorment - in safe dry storage. I hope to build a bigger "toyroom" early next year which will allow space for all the cars. (I also have a few veteren & vintage cars in my collection).
The car was bought in England by a chap by the name of Micky Thomson in the mid sixties. He brought the car to Walfishbay in what is now Namibie and used the car for drag racing on the beach.
He sold the car to a guy in Welkom, South Africa whom I have not been able to trace. He in turn sold the car to Colin Venter in Bloemfontein from whom we bought it in totally original and complete condition. the car did however require to be restored.
