THE ICONICS AND THE CLASSICS.
It’s impossible to talk about the hot evolution of motorcars in South Africa without mentioning certain classics. And it appears that Creative Rides has most of these history-makers in one big eye-popping auction on December 4th. First thrashing its tail, and bearing its teeth is the tarmac biting Ford Capri Perana V8. In the appropriate Chili-Pepper livery it made the competitors’ eyes smart in the 1970s as it ripped the track up, reaching top speeds of 228km/h. And launching itself to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds. This Perana is no knock-off. It’s the real thing and we think it will fly off the auctioneer’s floor. Locally we hope.
HELLO BIG DADDY!
Next on the starting line is the ruthless and rare “Big Daddy.” The Ford SA assembled Fairmont GT. One big brute of a machine. With its mammoth 5750cc V8 and ram air intake. This beast of a V8 sent a snorting 224kw of raw power to her rear. “This is some bitch,” said a pilot of the time. And she still is. Over 2000 of these “Big Daddys” disappeared to Australia. This one, on the auction floor has managed to stay behind. Now, putting a cat amongst these local pigeons is a stunning classic. Probably one of the most desirable modern classics’ in the world. The Alfa GTV 3.0 Litre. It was designed only for racing, and it wasn’t for Italy. It was here in SA. Alfa, tired of seeing the backsides of Fords and the 535i BMWs on the track put in an impassioned request to Alfa in Italy, and the result of their fired-up collaboration was the remarkably fast, hot blooded engine. 3.0 Litres of fortissimo! (What else do you expect from the Italians?) When transplanted into the normal classic 2.5 Alfa sport’s body, well, it left the competition blinking and eating the Italian’s dust. This rare, red, two-door bambino is believed to be one of only 40 GTV 3.0 Ls left in the world.
SOME MERCS R45-R95K
Surrounded by these hot-blooded beasts there’s a full garage of other delightful cars. Starting with the massive yet majestic 1961 Impala, and then travelling down the list there’s an array of thoroughly tough Mercs. Including a super fast Merc 300 SEL 6.3 Litres of armchair comfort at speed. Prices for some of the other Mercs are gestimated to go for R45-95k. A delightfully comfortable Jaguar 420, and a tough green Toyota Land Cruiser, a Volvo Pick-up, a silver Audi Convertible A4 caught my eye. As did a stunning 1962 VW Split-Window Bus. Fully-fitted-out, with a sunroof to catch the rays and a pastel-green and cream livery to catch the attention.
