Anyone Active in Rhodesia Zimbabwe

[leedurrant73]

Any Porsche historians out there with list or data of cars from 60s and 70s
Trying to check if car came from that area before SA. Understand some guys are from African areas.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Long shot I know!

Kindest regards Lee

Hi Lee

You should contact Arfor on ddk. His beautiful tangerine 68 which he has owned just about all its life has been with him from new in Zimbabwe then South Africa and now Wales.
He knows who supplied these cars in that era in the southern tip of Africa. I believe it might have been a Volkswagen dealer in then Salisbury now Harare who imported his car but I could be wrong on those details.

Regards
Mike

Lee,

Here’s a list with information on classic Porsches in Rhodesia. The are only a couple of long hoods on this list, but it might provide useful as a source to find contacts for other cars.
