The first South African car, built by Vic Cavanagh in 1947. It got it's name from a tendency for the rear mounted Sunbeam engine to bend the back axle!

Front suspension was Fiat and the rear had a very narrow track and almost no suspension. As a result, it had a tendency to roll......

A very similar Mk II version was built.
