I've had another good look and maybe not an Escort. Also the Lada could be a Fiat 124 Special. Sorry I missed the Mini and yes the car on the extreme right looks American. Is that a Mini Countryman behind the Lada/Fiat and a VW behind the questionable Escort?

Its probably a Fiat, which are sold in SA, whereas Lada's are not. Back in the 1960's some US models were sold here, but today the supply is limited, although the latest Mustang is available. I did get to drive a base model 1969 Camaro on one notable occasion. 5litre V8 and 2 speed automatic. Owner was terrified in the passenger seat as it was left hand drive and South Africa drives on the left. So he had the traffic coming straight at him! The questionable Escort might be an early Toyota Corolla. Regards to Ken H - pleased to hear you are enjoying the posts.

This is a 2 door Toyota in a rather strange 1970 race - the "Lucky Strike Trial". As far as I can remember it consisted of dirt road stages followed by a few laps of Kyalami. There were some quite interesting vehicles in the "race". (It might have been a time trial). Pat Hinde was a major Toyota dealer on the East Rand in the 1970's.

In respect of the Fiat/Lada debate, this is a Fiat 124 in a saloon car race at Kyalami. Possibly 1971.
