Heritage - News

These two photographs show our International Harvester Pick-Up truck, Model R110, together with our International Harvester Trojan Patrol motor grader based on the Farmall M product which are now complete ready for transport to the Sandstone Heritage Trust.  This International truck was completely derelict and once again it is a clear indication of Jannie du Toit's knowledge, competence and the quality of the work done by his team and himself that items that had literally been thrown into the scrap yard could emerge in such good order.

The plan is to drive the International light truck from the Western Cape to the Eastern Free State, a distance of some 800-miles.

The Sandstone Heritage Trust has owned a 1910 Peerless truck for some years. This truck which came from Bloemfontein originally was probably purchased new by the Brickworks and operated on its solid rubber wheels until the early 1950's hauling bricks into Grahamstown.

This venerable old City has some of South Africa's finest architecture and it would appear that our Peerless truck played a major part in the construction of the magnificent buildings for which Grahamstown is so well known.
