For the Next Week, Watch Out for These 100-Year-Old Beauties

The aptly named Crankhandle Club on Sunday began a weeklong series of events showing off some gorgeous vintage and veteran cars on the roads of the Western Cape when it hosted a run out to Kalk Bay in Cape Town, with some of the participants well over a century old.

The run out to the village on False Bay and to Simonstown for lunch – where some 40 cars were expected, including the 1905 and 1911 Fords and Buicks in these photographs – was the first in a series of events for the old-timers.

From Monday through Thursday the South African Vintage and Veteran Association’s Veteran National will be based at the Slanghoek Mountain Resort in the Slanghoek Valley near Worcester. After that a Veteraantoer starts from Albertinia on Thursday evening with a Friday run into George for the annual car show on the weekend of the 13 and 14 February.
