ENGINEERING students from the University of KZN will be demonstrating their hovercraft and Mamba electric vehicle at Africa’s oldest annual vehicle show, Cars in the Park at the horse training centre in Ashburton on Sunday.

Co-organiser Karl Habermann said this year’s show will see several parades with super cars and oldies driving past, as well as a special events tent staging several pre-1930 models.

The KZN 4x4 club will be hosting drives and among the vehicles from afar will be a group of Unimogs from Gauteng. Some 30 food stalls will ensure nobody goes hungry and 60 craft and business stalls sell anything from clothes to hub caps. Exhibitors enter from 6.30 am and the spectator gates open at 7 am.
