This weekend I went to a little show in Cape Town, thought I'd share some of the pics. Auto Union 1000 - Never seen one of these before, certainly not modified - pretty funky if you ask me. Were they ever available in the uk?   Sadly doesn't look to be the most powerful of beasts!  Bedford van with obligatory 70's styling ideas:   "Perana" v8 capri  Pretty low Renault Dauphine, I think most have these have rotted away back home in the uk!  This Zephr looked like it meant business  And finally a little morris 8 I think:  |

I think the Zephyr is a 57 Fairlane, but I might be all to cock on that.

I think it is too  But thanks for the pics, I have a lot of love for that smoothed van  What a strange cross-section of vehicles! |

whoops! Thanks for the correction, clearly not a zephyr!
On the Auto Union, I was meaning I definitely hadn't seen a modified one, not that that one isn't modded!

They were sold here but in understandably small numbers so not many remain. This is a right hand drive one I saw at a show back in 2007  |

Nice selection there. Whereabouts in CT was this little gathering and is it an annual event?

I had one a four door though but it was called a DKW 1000. How many 16 year old can say they own a DKW. I had another 1/2 as spares. Lovely smooth 3 pot 2 stroke. It had 3 sets of points as it had 3 coils. I used a sellotape tube lid as the cap for the points  . It had a 44ft turning circle so was a bit of a mission getting it into the garage. As it was a 2 stroke it had a freewheel fitted so you didn't ruin the engine when off throttle. It was a spacious 6 seater. Leaf spring transverse at front below the radiator. Had to premix the fuel which was a bit boring Adrian |
