"I acquired
6.5 litre Chassis BX2418 - the "African
Queen" (in Canada) from Alan
DeCadenet in 1980. I would be interested
to find a photo of this car with its
original Gurney Nutting body."

This car belonged
to a certain Nick Scarf, who owned
a bookshop in Goring-on-Thames, UK.
I saw this car in 1971 when on a trip
to the UK and took some photos of
it. It would be interesting to know
who the current owner is. Regarding
the "Speed Six" owned by
Nick Scarf, the registration number
was YH 9454. I see it may have spent
some time in Canada (BC) with a subsequent
owner and may even have come here
to South Africa. Beyond that I have
little extra information. I have a
couple of framed photos of it in my
garage which I will endevour to pass
on to you.
