Nick Vernon, the proud owner, picked up this beast about four years ago from Custom Classics in Cape Town. But the credit for this masterpiece doesn’t belong to them. To uncover its history, we travel to KwaZulu-Natal, the stomping grounds of Mike Egan, a legend among SA’s V8 enthusiasts. If you’ve ever been blown away by the roar of a proper horsepower V8 in SA, chances are you’ve encountered Mike’s work.
