Chairs Report — August 2018 Where have all our veteran cars gone? This was the question I was asking myself recently after viewing some old photos and films which depict various events here in SA that include cars from the Veteran and Edwardian era’s.  I was most interested to find some very desirable marques in all the images – like the circ. 1912 Clement-Bayard (left), but I started to wonder wh ...[Read More]
