Yes!! Definitely Brooklands. Would like to meet somewhere in the morning b4 & go in convoy...
It will be my first car show with my Valiant Charger,
so it will be very very special!!
I’m traveling from Swindon.
If all goes well with the DVLA and I get the registration done, I want to go to a small’ish car meeting (the 1st Thursday of every month) @the Sun Inn pub here in Swindon. Can’t wait to drive it!

This is a stunning looking car and super rare, as well as so original looking.
It really looks to have the perfect aged patina.

I am learning fast about these cars in order to help you get it registered!!

Hope to see it for real this year.

Big thank u to Matt Hollingsworth for helping me to get register my 1973 Chrysler Valiant Charger!
DVLA rejected my 1st application to register & I had to get more evidence from South Africa car enthusiasts club to date the car. Fanie from Mopar Owners group South Africa did a fantastic job in dating the car! Thank u guys. I can not wait to drive it later today & this w’end I’ll be out and about!
I did receive the DVLA registration papers yesterday.
Happy Friday!!
Happy cruising!!!

Marbles, I cant make Brooklands this year. Hope to catch you at another event. Would be great to have your story and car in the club magazine Connected. PM me if you're interested and I'll let you know what the options are/what I need.

Cheers Simon

oh i Know of Fanie he was on the aussie messageboards as well


be good to get a handle on how much of your car is US south american australian and south african

i know the assemblers in south africa certainly took parts from all sources.

this car is probably the reason they didn't build the aussie charger having built a brand allegiance already with the charger name and this body style

i guess this existed along side VH VJ VK valiant wagons Utes and sedans, cars that at least south africans in london seem to remember, based on conversations i have had
