Rare cars on SA road

[Pox]

The problem with the EXA turbo was cooling. More often than not you had a glowing red manifold. This was the end of many EXA and Langley turbo cars.

Still, they looked good.

That was the colour of mine. Sky Blue or whatever it was called.

Just a pity that if you looked too hard at them, something fell off.

And that's exactly what happened to his.

Now if someone can find a running Opel Kadett 200ts, now that would be a rare find.

Spotted on the N2 now. Excellent condition

but is that the 200ts? can't tell from the pic

 

[AchmatK]

Yes. 200ts. Zoomed pic. Not sure if you can make it out. Was in very good nick. No dings or scratches from what I could see.

Remarkably, Delta went on to build nearly 500 turbo’ed Kadetts and another 350-odd Astras.

I don't see these Yaris TS models too often.

"1,8-litre Dual VVT-i engine to haul the lightweight Yaris body around with any great urgency, because it ‘only’ produces 98 kW at 6 000 r/min and 173 N.m of torque"

Excuse blurry pic...

I'll excuse the blurry pic, but not posting a Yaris as rare.

I haven't seen a RX7 / RX8 at all in the last 4 years back in SA, were these sold here or not?

rx8 was officially available here
I think the rx7 was imported on the grey market only

I've never seen a TS either. The badge makes it 'rarer' (within reason). It's a Yaris TS, not a Yaris.

Company I used to work for many moons ago had a company 200is. That thing went like a bat out of hell. Scary to think the ts was even quicker!

Back on thread though, I saw a Suzuki Ciaz (or something yesterday). Not particularly exciting but was the first I'd seen (or taken note of). Sedan of sorts... (sorry, no pic )

No, it's a Yaris.

Did that Yaris van DTM wheels?
