I've got a vague memory that there were at one time a couple of other 'proper' C2s in SA- a pair of (possibly S2000-based?) Tiga-Mazdas imported for the Kyalami Group C race in '83. Are they still on the radar in South Africa, or disappeared without trace?

The Southafrican Tiga-Mazda are possibly around, I remember seeing them, sort-of-restored, on the www a couple of years ago. They built another C2 in South Africa, it was from Lant, a local, mainly single seater, manufacturer. Recently I came through it while reading an old Autosport (late80s-very early90s) copy.
