You're funny... We should call you 'Forced Laughter'! Spares? I jest. There probably are some guys who do supply but it's far cheaper for us to come to SA and buy what we need or order from the US or UK. That's what the serious blokes do? Otherwise what you'll find are spares from scrap yards. Prices more often than not are a moving target or luck of the draw. There's a bad culture of ripping folks off up here I am embarassed to say. Sad but true.

I can't say I've ever seen one. But don't be surprised if there are. Why just the other day I found a 1974 BMW E9 2800CS, which I'm in the throes of making a move on.


This isn't it but I've posted a pic just to illustrate the gem I've found. I'm so pleased...

Actually, the one on offer is white.

Seeing that you dont know what a Gordini is - Try this - it will be easier for you - I am looking for a good Renault R4 . I love those cars and had one for years

That model BM is lovely - One of my connections has just finished building and track testing a batmobile version of that series car that will be run in historics here next season

Only one word for it -- Amazing !

Hope you buy that car -- you will love it !

Psssssst! - any old beechcraft bonanzas lying around there ?

-More forced laughter?

Oh contraire mon amis. I know what a Gordini is. I have just never seen one here in Zim. Typically blue with a white stripe offset yes? I'm a Zimbabwean Gov'nor, not a bumpkin.
If it's an R4 you're after there are plenty but you won't like the condition they're in...

Beechcraft Bonanzas aplenty. Lying around too...

Weren't the R4's used as Taxis??

I remember cruising around Mabelreign in a V8 powered Prefect and seeing lots of R4's

That's the one. To find one in good knick will be rare.

Hi Guys. I spotted this early 60s Ghia today. I'm told it has the original 1200SP motor which is in good running order. Has most of its bits save the front and rear wind shields. Clock, speedo and fuel guage are there. Bright work is there. It is for sale. Seller says make an offer. I was searching for a low light when I came across this, but I thought some members might be interested.

Cheers!

The Moz KG I looked at a couple of weeks ago was for sale for R10K, and in similar condition.
