History
Ranger Cub
The Ranger Cub was a uniquely South African sports car utilizing Triumph Herald and later Spitfire mechanicals clothed in locally-designed fiberglass bodywork. Built in Port Elizabeth, it represented South Africa's attempt to create an indigenous sports car industry. The lightweight construction and low price made it popular with club racers and enthusiasts who couldn't afford imported British sports cars. Various engine options were offered throughout production, with the most powerful versions being competitive in local motorsport.
