The Cobra Club of South Africa showcased their bespoke cars in several parts of the Lowveld over the weekend of October 26 and 27.

The club arrived in Dullstroom on Friday, before heading to Sabie and Graskop on Saturday, ending their visit at White River and Mbombela.

The club president, Heinrich du Preez, said they were well received across the region and they were often stopped as the public wanted to have a closer look at their cars.

“Our main purpose for visiting the Lowveld was that we have members who are residing on that side. We also wanted people to see cars they don’t usually see on the road or in a parking lot. We wanted them to see them, touch them and interact with the owners. It is also part of the club’s culture to visit all the provinces across the country to showcase our cars,” he said.

Du Preez said despite the rainy weather over the weekend, it did not stop the team – in fact, the weather favoured them as it was not so hot.

He also mentioned the friendly reception they had received and said they are encouraged to return and spend more time in this region so that Cobra lovers will have another opportunity to see their rare vehicles.

“During our visit, we had about 15 different Cobra cars. Our plan was to cover 1 000km, which we did. We are looking forward to coming back to the Province of the Rising Sun,” he said.

The drivers all returned to their homes safely on Sunday October 27.
