When I was young, like most boys I played with cars; matchbox, dinky, tin plate and plastic (many worth a small fortune today). The real thing eluded me till 1989 and since then I have had 3. As a boy I was fascinated by Mini's and always seemed to assume they would be around forever, alas like so many other things this has not been so. And while the new mini is a stunner, those old ones are very rare. There were certain cars in SA which were never bought because of their theft value, a Valiant, Peugot 504 or a Colt Gallant, these were highly prized for use as "3rd Class Taxis's" and I doubt whether there are many left with their White owners. I am keeping an eye open to photograph some oldies and add to this page, it is going to be a long process though. Many of the pics here come from various websites and the Autotrader magazines.
