So was just wondering if it possible to find out some history of it's time in South Africa.

I have some info:
The registraion plate on windscreen in picture was it's last one in South Africa.

I have a Republic of South Africa Certificate of Registration, which shows it the Registering authority in City of Cape Town.
Date of Issue: 2019-03-11
Vehicle register number: VHT742C
Last 3 licence numbers: CA934939, CK29793, CNT539EC
Type of identification: Business reg certif
and more information on that registration document.

Also have a South African Police Service, Motor Vehicle Clearance document for exporting to UK; which shows:
as address in Serenata Ave, Brackenfall

So be great to know what businesses used it, was it always this colour, any and as much info as possible to build up some history, if possible.


What advise/help could anyone from South Africa offer in finding out any information on it's owenrship, usage while it was over there?

Many Thanks in advance

Might be worth trying the retro rides forum?

There's a couple of South African guys on there...
