Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Re: Africa by '62 Westy
I scanned the pics tonight from an article in an old Classic Car Africa magazine. I believe the two round disks on the bumper to be two horns, probably mounted externally for more effect?
The reason why they don't appear in the pic with the pyramids is because the pic is actually switched around (developed incorrectly), wouldn't a LHD Splitty have its rear side doors on the RIGHThand side?
I think this is what it should like, the right front part of the bumper (with the horns) is out of view...
