S S Sailing Cap Giveaway Results
Today we had our drawing for 5 free khaki caps. Only 167 people entered the drawing so in the scheme of drawings the odds were actually pretty good. The winners have been notified so if you have not received an email indicating you are a winner unfortunately you're not one of them.
Winners hailed from Sweden, Hawaii, New York, Connecticut and Maine. Thanks again for entering. Keep an eye out for future drawings. I think we're going to up the ante and give away five Musto jackets next. Look for details soon.

ERA 1966 classic S type Jaguar
Where are they now?
Looks like they are just North of Namibia's Walvis Baai?
The zig zag at the lower end of South Africa was due to a test drive from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and back to Cape Town to test the new engine rebuild we ordered.
That went well and they have now gone from the South Atlantic Ocean, up to Victoria Falls, Etosha Pan and then back to the South Atlantic coast today.
Easy?
I bet not!

Comment from Alex Notman (Notty)
Having been to most of those countries, up to the Vic. Falls, Wankie and the Matopas in the 60's, towing a caravan on strip roads when Ian Smith ruled then as far north as Gross Barmen in South West Africa as Namibia was then called, I can appreciate the trip being done in a classic Jaguar more suitable to modern highways than bundu bashing?
It's a hell of a trip for such a car and that is a tribute to the original builders but more so to the owners who cared for and prepared the car in its latter years and that includes Roy, Clive and the engine/car re-building companies they selected. It is a shame that the oil pump failure let it down for part of the journey but that could happen on even a new car.
Its also a tribute to the new owners who could just as easily have selected a Range Rover a Defender or Land Cruiser all of which would have been more suitable for such a trip, though the Defender would not have offered the luxury of the Jag. So, well done chaps.

1275c Mini Cooper S for sale in Cape Town South Africa
Who wants a genuine Mini Cooper S 1275 single tank (old shape) with matching numbers and restored?
At this time I have not even seen the car but I do know the owner very well, we talked about the
car being my next project but a buyer needs to be found first.
The car is said to be an early model and about 1963/4, its a bare shell right now, so ready for its rebuild and a new owner.
This is not the actual car but shows what a Mini Cooper looks like.

I already have a genuine 1st edition ,September 1961 Cooper parts manual on my books on cars, so re assembly should be faster and correct.
I heard on Sky TV that Jeff Randle Live was saying the market in wrist watches and classic cars was better than the stock market these days!
