Just for info...

At the time, I DID phone the son's of the Past-away old man, and was very clearly told that the cars are not for sale, and never will.
and that it was non of my business what they did with them.
So that was the last info I have of it.

These are the type of guys where you should just pitch up with a wad of R100 bills and make them a firm offer. How many people do you think have called these chaps and offered to buy them. I say a weekend road trip and you could more than likely come home with an oval or split or both.

Locals lately are getting a bit lazy, take a page from the yanks.......they get stuff done. Money talks.
