![]() |
The Campbell Racing Stable
of 209 Commercial Road in Pietermaritzburg
ordered two light-weight Darts from Hooper Motors in
Durban who were the local Ford agents. In September 1963
Keith Berrington-Smith was flown to the factory in Cape
Town to inspect the light-weight Darts and for a short
coarse at the factory. This Dart had a 1100cc Anglia 3
main bearing block with no cylinder head, manifold or
carburetors. This car was to be driven by Keith
Berrington-Smith. The Dart was collected in the Durban
docks by Tony Decker and delivered to Campbell Racing
Motors in 9th October
1963. The Dart was registered NP 18807 . It was
delivered white
but was re-sprayed to canary yellow which was the colour
of the Campbell Racing Team. Campbell
Racing sold the Dart to Pieter Potgieter who then
sold it to Pierre Rossouw. Pierre Rossouw and
co-driver Dave Upton drove the Dart in the 1966
9hr at Kyalami.
The Dart was written off in Sunset corner. What happened
to the wreck is unknown.

This picture and a few more I
have enclosed were kindly sent to me by Rob
Young the well known racing historian. The
one from Kyalami of the Dart leading the
Lola is very clear, but we have no idea who
is driving. Maybe someone can help. The next picture is John Rowe leading George Rees into Angles Angle at Roy Hesketh . Hows the narrow tyres working to grip on George's car !! Grenville Manton clydes@cybersmart.co.za |
