Specialty American muscle cars and pick-ups are a rarity in the South African market. Simply because most of them are not produced in right-hand drive form, with the exception of models like the Ford Mustang, launched here in 2015.
Over the years various small independent outfits have catered to the niche of right-hand drive accessibility into vehicles usually only seen on TV screens. More recently, the likes of distributors CVH Auto and Rospa International, are pandering to enthusiasts wanting to make a statement.
Earlier this year CVH Auto announced importation of the latest-generation Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, which is produced in official right-hand drive form by General Motors. The first deliveries took place this September, with vehicles priced from R3.7m, which includes a warranty and service plan.
