Pete;

I don't know of anything specific about these small block Firenzas, but South Africa did have some interesting cars available. Because of Apartied, the country was a bit of a Pariah, and no one was 'officially' trading with them.
American cars were available there, but the import process was rather involved, so not a lot made it over. I read somewhere that Belgian assembled cars went there to get around trade embargos.

I may still have the German language car magazine with this widened Golf in it. If I recall correctly, it was built by one of the well known German tuners. I'll try and find it and scan it.

Ya, I think I might still have a copy of the Road and Track article. The car was gun metal grey in color. Will try to hunt it down as well.
