GSM Dart

The GSM Dart was South Africa's first production sports car, created by Bob van Niekerk and Willie Meissner in Cape Town. Its lightweight fiberglass body over tubular frame, powered by Coventry Climax engines, gave it impressive performance and handling. The Dart competed successfully in international motorsport and was even exported to the UK and US. Only about 35 examples were built, making it extremely rare and collectible today.
