    Anybody remember this car from Edenvale Johannesburg area?

    Hello and happy new year to you all.

    Never posted pictures on my car in previous form but managed to get some a while back.
    Car resided in Edenvale SA when someone forward dated the car to look 70s. I’m looking
    to try and track that owner if possible?

    The car is actually a very early 69t, 119100008. Hoping the pictures may jog someone’s
    Memory?
    Last picture shows a guy called Clive John Prins of Roodepoort who put it back to original
    69t look. I don’t use Facebook so haven’t reached out to Porsche club of SA. Haven’t had
    Much luck to be honest with finding much. It seems nobody remembers it so trying pictures.

    Car is under slow restoration due to Covid but have owned it since 2012. Can’t seem to get back
    Any further that 1989. When Prins owned it. The previous owner from Edenvale has never been located. I’ve tried Abbot cars and a few others on here but low information.

    I know John Prins had a friend working as SA Airlines Pilot who helped with sourcing parts to return the car to standard but unsure who that was?

    I will look as well...

    PS - posted an abbreviated query on the Porsche South Africa FB page. We’ll see if I get a response.

    That’s fantastic I really appreciate the help.
    I hope some pictures help but it seems like the cars history has been hard to find.
    Quite a few people have luck with researching SA cars. But not for me so far.

    Any further data would certainly be a bonus!
