Spridgets in South America

[69sprite]

So,I have and will have opportunities over the next moth or so to be in South American countries. I am presently in Sai Paulo, Brazil. I was in Buenos Aries in Sept/Mexico City in October.

I am amazed that with the preponderance of vehicles that they obviously try to 'keep running', that I haven't seen any LBCs or essentially ANY older british make. It could be that I am sheltered and just not where they might be. Yes, old VWs, Old Asian stuff, a few old BMW/Mercedes..

Just wondering if anyone might have been down here before and noticed/saw any of the cars we enjoy?

I was kinda hoping that I might stumble across a parts source or establish some 'LBC Friends' in SA...

Were any imported here? Or did they come here a become part of the landscape over time?

After eight days in the Dominican Republic and eight days in Colombia this summer, the closest I came was an old honda under a tarp in the DR.

However, Colombia had many great old daily drivers. VW's and Renaults mostly stood out to me.

The search is not over, continue on to other far reaching lands
