HISTORY:   

This car was first owned by Tony Kotzé who also was a GSM Dealer. He was the first person to enter a Dart in the first South African 9 hour Endurance Race, at Grand Central Johannesburg in 1958. The late Fritz le Roux was his co-driver. Although they finished the race, it was delayed by replacing a blown head gasket in the pits and was not classified. Between 1959 and 1969 there is no record of its history. In 1969 Mr Rob Gay, bought the car from Barrett Manufacturing Company in Johannesburg. Rob raced the car competitively at Killarney and at the end of 1975 he sold it to the late Jan Kriel. After a comprehensive rebuild, Jan raced it at Killarney for about five years, before selling it to Dr Vic Levin from Johannesburg in 1982. Since then, around 2003 Vic retired to Somerset West and the car is back in the Cape. Vic has also had some work done on the car, he uses it occasionally, weather permitting and on GSM-runs. According to Clarry Taylor the car is quite fast!.
