The late Victor Peterson bought this Flamingo, second hand, from a Ford dealer in Port Elizabeth in 1968. The Ford Dealers name was George Harvey and the registration was CCN 14963. This car was originally factory fitted with two side draught Webers, a cam and branch. In 1969 Peterson on holiday in Cape Town, visited Dart Service Station and requested Willie Meissner to “detune” the car. The job was assigned to Clarry Talyor who at that time worked for Dart Service Station. Clarry clearly remembers changing the two side draught Webers for a single 36 DCD 7 down draught Weber. During the mid 70’s Peterson owner built himself a home in Uitenhage. He removed the passenger seat, and most, if not all the building materials were transported in the Flamingo! Being a qualified welder, he started rebuilding the chassis during the early eighties. Around 1990 he wanted to restore the car for his daughter Kim. She unfortunately left the country and went to work in the U.K. causing the project to be temporarily shelved.

In 2003, Peanuts Fouche bought the car, for his wife Rosemary. Just before he towed the car away, Peterson said “After 35 years I am gonna turn my back on this car, and walk away, never to see it again!” Sadly he passed away three months later. Strangely Kim committed suicide in 2006! The car was yellow when Peanuts bought it, but is now it's original Brilliant White with 1500 pre-cross flow engine, 36DCD7 Weber, cam and branch. 560 x 13 cross ply tyres. The car is 100% original.
