We just love this story:

Just a glorified slideshow, I'm afraid, of my project to build a sports car at my advanced age, hence the title: "An Old Man's Journey To Automotive Nirvana". Still, it may be of some interest to those who have tackled similar crazy project - or who may be contemplating several lost years in undertaking such a task.

I’ve always felt like the car needed a V8!

Jaime Garlick is currently busy with an upgrade on his Harper. From a Nissan vq35hr to a Audi 4.2 V8. We can't wait to see this on the road again!

Owner's Spotlight: Jim Page's Harper Type 5

Photos by Dylan Shaw Photography

Jim Page's automotive journey took a remarkable turn when he discovered Harper Sports Cars and their unique Harper Type 5. Living in Port Elizabeth and working abroad, Jim had long envisioned his dream car, sketching it on serviettes and even constructing a balsa wood model. His vision was a three-seater, steel tube chassis car with a mid-engine layout, similar to the McLaren F1, and open to the elements like an Ariel Atom or DJC V-Storm.

However, lacking the means to build it himself, Jim scoured the internet until he stumbled upon Harper Sports Cars in 2013. Convinced that the Harper Type 5 was the answer to his automotive dreams, Jim flew to Cape Town to meet Craig, the builder behind Harper Sports Cars, and promptly ordered one.

"Happy Easter from all of us at Harper Sports Cars! Wishing you a joyous holiday filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. 🐰🌷 "

Yesterday we shook the Cobra down at Killarney. Still some work to do but it was extremely good fun at the limit

development continues.

Ever innovative!

SO we have been recording again - but this time NOT in my studio as seen in the picture. That's right - we now have a mobile recording setup, which means we can record anywhere! BUT since today is a strange sort of in-between work/ holiday - we've decided to only release our next episode on Monday, to make sure no-one misses it whilst they're off sipping cocktails on a beach. So enjoy your road trips, stay safe and we'll see you Monday!
