Vintage Cars

Good place to take visitors on a rainy day - L'Omarins wine farm.  http://www.fmm.co.za/ The cars are in 4 huge barns on a wine farm in Franschoek valley...

It was such a beautiful summer's day to drive to Simonstown on the False Bay coast. We enjoyed breakfast at http://www.thestudiokalkbay.co.za/The_Studio/BISTRO.html   in Kalk Bay.  The 19 cars were pre 1939. The oldest Benz...

On the 11th of November 2012, 61 Crankers in their cars met at the Camps Bay High School rugby field to celebrate the Hillclimbs which were driven from 1917 till 1962.  The background of the 12 Apostles and Camps Bay beach was wonderful to see.  There was a festive atmosphere and the misty morning became a warm sunny day.  I went with Derek in Jon's recently restored 1959 Ford Anglia.  The car was...

On Sunday morning, many residents of St James and Kalk Bay stood on Main road to cheer these pre-1919 cars which were travelling to Cape Point.   Some were built before the steering wheel was invented. These old cars are difficult to drive. Most drivers will not attempt to drive a car with a stick instead of a steering wheel!                            ...

We met the Crankers at Milnerton Paddling club on the beach.  There were 32 cars.  We departed at 2 minute intervals in the rain. ...

During the week Jon and I realised that the MGB could not be ready in time for the Swartland rally. Jon prepared the 1971 Jaguar which was so comfortable and warm in the rain. Schuppa, the Border Collie, easily fitted on to the back seat. In pouring rain, we met the Crankers at Milnerton Paddling club on the beach. There were 32 cars which included Austins, Jags, Rolls Royces, Mercede Benzs, MGs,...

The Cape Town MG Car Club organises delightful trips to scenic regions of the Cape. In October 2007 the destination was Oudtshoorn. We took the N1 over the mountains to Worcester and turned off to Montague. The R62 from Montague is a quiet back road to Oudtshoorn. The Klein Karoo scenery is different from the busy N2 along the coast. We arrived at Calitzdorp later than the other cars because we...
