It was constructed by Hans Still AG of Hamburg in 1957. It spent it's working life in the fruit packing sheds of Grabouw or Elgin. It had recently been hauled out of a dusty corner of Andre's workshop where it had been languishing for a few years. The engine had been rebuilt and was just installed, and I was lucky to be there to watch them start it up. It has a 1100 cc motor. It was supplied by a Johannesburg based engineering company, "Koppel" in the late '50s.
I am trying to find out more about the history of this machine but my searches on Google have been unsuccessful thus far. I would love to find some photos of a similar unit in operation, workshop manuals, production history and so on ..........
