The 1973 Nissan KPGC110 Skyline GT-R ‘Kenmeri was the phantom follow-up to the legendary Hakosuka GT-R
It was to be the Skyline for Ken and Mary, the 1973 Nissan Skyline GT-R (called KPGC110) which intended to move the game on from the KPGC10 Skyline GT-R.
But only 197 Kenmeri Skyline GT-Rs ever made it out of the factory. Not because there were fewer than 200 couples called Ken and Mary willing to buy a Skyline, but for a few other reasons.

Kevi Govender always had a passion for cars, especially the VW air-cooled kind. This passion led him to a situation where he was stumbling around in the dark at 00:30 at night in Danville, Pretoria in order to look at a 1967 VW Split Window Bus. The bus would be a father and son project. Unfortunately, Kavis father (Ravi Govender) passed away and in a twist of fate, the bus helped him through this very difficult time.

From the outset, I have to state that this is my dream car and therefore it has special significance for me. I regrettably spurned the opportunity of buying myself one 10 years ago in the hope that I would find one in a better condition.

It is for this reason that I followed this 1956 VW Split Window kombi home 5 years ago but no amount of money will buy it, as youll soon find out.
