Messerschmitt 3 wheeler cars

[Leon Sumter]

Here's Charlie and me on the way to JHB from Cape Town. Had a prang in the Transkie. Can see my bent front forks. Some African gentleman in the Transkei turned to the right as I was about to pass him.

Ja, that was before the conversion ( Full faring etc need to look for some photos of that.

I remember Mrs Castle driving one in the early 70`s when I was in Grade 2,all us kids thought it was super cool,

Sorry for Spelling mistake- the Solex agent was  Norval Gillbee

Norville Gillbee resided at E5-1st Avenue. Was out neighbour in the early/mid 70's

Norval ran a advert in the weekly bulletin- pre October 1975 . - reading something like this : - " why walk to the store , if you can transport your groceries on a ? " this is deffenately not the correct words - but near enough . He marketed his bikes with a basket on the carrier as a option .

Yes, I also rememeber Mrs Castle's Messerchsmidt. Some people did bring their private cars into town ... that was allowed and not a problem. The problem was once in- never allowed out. CDM hired cars out and some people hired Anglias on a permanent basis. Just saw an Anglia yesterday in Cape Town ... brought back some memories.

Also known as the EPPING JAG......

Mrs Tinka Castle already had her car before my parents left CDM and that was 1959.

I always thought it was a Gogomobile, or that's what we called it.

Did Mrs Castle not drive into a tree or lampost in 11th avenue?
