Lyle 4600 V-8 from Rhodesia (Swaziland)

:applause: Pal, did you know it before?
Strictly speaking it's the territory of today's Zimbabwe, but this country wasn't already established back then..
No, I have another name for this car and though it's not from Zimbabwe you're somehow in the right area..

No, I just popped in, looked at the answers and thought, wow, Swaziland is missing :)

Except Swaziland is not Rhodesia and never has been!
The old Northern Rhodesia became Zambia and Southern Rhodesia became Zimbabwe.
Swaziland still exists and is a landlocked country entirely within the borders of South Africa.
However since you got the name of the car you deserve your point!
-
To finish the geography lesson, Swaziland has borders with South Africa and Mozambique - it's Lesotho that is completely surrounded by South Africa.
-
OK, so I mixed up my geography, but I found the car eventually :)
-
Around the horn in (less than) 80 days, but a compelling mystery, regardless.
-
Is there any more information available on this car?
Who built it (Mr. Lyle I presume), when and any other details?
-
Unfortunately not! I tried to contact the owner of the site, but he didn't reply.
-
Okay, thanks Allemano
-
How do we know it was build in Rhodesia? The only site I found with this reference just states it was raced there??
-
That's indeed a good question!
As I couldn't find any evidence for the origins of this car I presupposed it was built in Rhodesia.
Any other infos are highly appreciated!
