Thats the wheels mine had & in that colour, if thats in the UK its probably my old car as it was the only Red one imported. Any details.
here some details;
South Africa's Own Cars
Bob van Niekerk, Willie Meissner and Vester de Wit conceived and designed this
car during 1956. Then they formed the GSM company and started manufacturing
the first two prototypes during 1957. The car proved to be almost unbeatable in
South Africa as well as various racing circuits in Europe.
1959 GSM Dart
(Sold as a Delta
in the UK)
1964 GSM
Flamingo
The cars were launched as open cars and a removable hardtop only followed later.
The Flamingo was a further development and differed in many respects.
A good number of these cars have survived in South Africa, as well as in the UK,
USA and Canada!
There as also a V8 from this car...but maybe only one car made...
here 2 on one picture

De Tomaso from his first production car the Vallelunga he made 50<>60 cars...weighting only 700kg, nice.

I heard that it belongs to an english guy?!
Lotus Elan 26R
lovely lotus elan 26R
much better then, the for me stupid pop up lights, bad cw drag and spoils the lines(my thoughts anyway) On a Dutch lotusclub holland site there are some interior pics of that street GT1...its RHD
there is a GT1 in Holland though I believe...think some ferrari man have one? he is also a racing driver don't know his name anymore?
GTRene
found it...that lotus elise gt1 is now called Bitter GT1 look at this and it belongs to Tony Hezemans the racing driver...
they rebuild the car because the standard was not so reliable? now its fitted with a V10 read here;
A new body was designed around the original Elise racing chassis. The new car was fitted with the V10 engine of the Dodge/Chrysler Viper, placed before the rear wheels. It was then called the Bitter-Chrysler GT1 and in 1998 it took part in a few races unsuccessfully. Funds ran out and Toine had to stop the project.
Besides lack of budget the car's rather low power to weight ratio was a weak spot. This was caused by the heavy V10 engine, which was originally designed for a light truck before the Chrysler company put it in the Cobra wannabe Viper.
Still it's a beautiful looking car with a mighty engine. The design itself should be converted to a roadgoing supercar, I think it's pretty and powerful enough to sell...
Jan Lammers raced the car round the Zandvoort circuit for a few laps to the delight of the crowds, finishing with a tire burnout on the main straight.

I guess you like big cars Robert good write up though...
Sometimes you could buy a car but you didn't...then a year orso afterwards you deeply regrad it you did not buy that "bargain" car, I've had that a few times, also because I had no place to store them or not anough cash money

Mclaren M6GT only a few where made? between 1969<>1970 strange looking though in this color rather nice
1969 McLAREN M6 CT
V8 6.0 LITRE SPORTS COUPE
Chassis No. 02 this is what they say about it;
Another car was finished as a high performance road car for Bruce McLaren's personal use, it featured a mid-engined Chevrolet V8 giving approximately 550 bhp, mated to a Hewland L.G. five speed gearbox. It had a full aluminium monocoque with bonded steel bulkheads and side mounted fuel bags. Bodywork was in polyester fibreglass and it was a striking and potent looking machine.
Chassis No. 02 therefore was the only road car built as a project by Bruce McLaren and the car was later owned by Denny Hulme and Phil Kerr in New Zealand before finding its way to the United States.
Bruce McLaren's personal road car
Mercedes and Mclaren are both famous, so is this lovely Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Coupe 1954<>1957 yummie
just to show how a modern version could look like...
the steering wheel was something specialy too, for an easy acces you just fold it in? how you say that?
