To get a close to accurate response, you might want to email one of the Classic Car Outlets in S. Africa, they would be "in the know".
Currently there are several AMC classic cars for sale in S.Africa: 1967 Rambler 770 Typhoon RHD, 1975 AMC Hornet 5DR, and a 1969 Javelin SST 343. |

Maybe first 2 seater AMX, I know that the Secretary to the US Consulate in South Africa exported a 1971 Electric Blue AMX there, it was a 360, 4V, 4 SPEED, Go Pac Car, and when she retired in 1980's she brought it back and it ended up in the Baltimore Area, it lost oil pressure indication and she was having difficulty depressing the clutch and sold it in the Washington Post....never saw it again.

First AMX in China? Seem to have failed on the first in Africa?
Or perhaps first AMC on four continents? Jim |

A naked effort to get this discussion back to the top...
Turns out according to chatter that the presenters of Wheeler Dealers are going to be on the Peking to Paris Rally in a 1916 Cadillac. Although they're not on the entry list so this may all be media hooey. They present a long running show on buying improving and selling classics. I actually own one of the show cars, a Renault Alpine A310. Which is a very lovely thing Shows are great for petrol heads and women who fancy Ed China the mechanic. I think you can find programmes from the seven odd series on the net if you dig around and a new season starts in May, 2016 We're busy getting Visas and trying to get fit before the event start in 46 days time. |
