Classic Car Africa’s August cover car is proof that South Africans will go to great lengths to own the car of their dreams.

We take a look at a pristinely original ’59 Corvette that has recently been imported from the States.

Ben van Rensberg remembers the legendary Francis Tucker, one of the men behind the original Kyalami racetrack, with some insightful knowledge and memorable photography.

David Pearson’s coloured images form a brilliant backdrop to the continuing South African African Drivers Championship, which reaches 1970 with F1 cars still fighting the F5000 muscle.

We also continue with Spotti Woodhead's SA Rally history lesson.

There is a look at some recent classic car race, rally and club events as well as a look at some diminutive yet awesome 1:87 models and follow up on our Classic Car Africa long-term test Royal Enfield.
