| The first South African car,
built by Vic Cavanagh in early 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 later in '47
Extreme crab track well illustrated here.
Vic clearly had a sense of perspective about his creation as his letter to Iota in February '48 shows:
If anyone has any more details or photos of this car, please get in touch. |
