This Bentley S1 picture has been sent to us by non-member Wayne Kennerley, an avid student of old cars in Southern Africa.
EU 1850 – 1950s Lusaka District re-made in current Zambian style.
We see an example of the original Northern Rhodesia series which ran from the inception of registrations there in the 1920’s, up to 1963. This 6-cylinder Bentley S1 model was built from 1955-59 so if brought to Rhodesia new, this S1 would have received it’s EU (Lusaka/Mumbwa) 1850 plates in the original British style – but this car has replaced its plates in the format of the new 2000 > Zambia system of black on reflective white, pressed alloy.
Early 1960s Lusaka motor-sportsmen with their Triumph TR4s on (almost consecutive) EA (Lusaka & Mumbwa) plates, in the original design.
Thanks, Wayne. Rare pictures.
** Any interesting Zambian items available from RPW members??
