IDEALE LIGGING: GOEIE KAPITAALGROEI VERWAG

Grondwerk begin aan nuwe dorpsontwikkeling “Konstruksie van die grensmuur word binnekort begin waarna daar ook ’n skouhuis gebou sal word. Volgens Pieter Horn, besturende direkteur van Horn en De Koning, die alleenagente en ontwikkelaars van die projek, gaan dié volledige bouprojek binne die volgende 24 maande voltooi wees. “Die grondwerk sal die oprigting van 74 losstaande huise voorafgaan. Altesaam 12 verskillende huistipes sal te koop aangebied word. Hiervan is vyf dubbelvlak en sewe enkelvlakwonings. “Die erfgroottes wissel van 264 m² tot 561 m² en die pryse van die eerste 24 huise sal wissel tussen R1 675 000 en R2 300 000. Veiligheid word verseker deur bemande sekuriteit, CCTV-kameras, geëlektrifiseerde omheining en gekontroleerde enkel-toegang,” het Horn gesê. Koelenhof is ’n volwaardige nuwe Bolandse dorp en word op ’n terrein van 4,2 ha ontwikkel. Die bestaande ontwikkeling in die gebied het in die afgelope 18 maande reeds kapitaalgroei van 42% getoon. Koelenbosch het ’n ontwikkelingswaarde van R130 miljoen en is aan die Koelenhof(R304) en Bottelarypad (M23) geleë en grens aan die bestaande Devon Place-sentrum met ’n vulstasie, winkel, restaurant, slaghuis, buitelewe- en vuurwapenwinkel en wynwinkel. Die Koelenbosch-ingang is vanaf die Bottelarypad. Horn het gesê Koelenhof is nou besig om in ’n nuwe en volwaardige dorp met sy eie infrastruktuur en karakter te ontwikkel. “Dit sal veral vir mense wat op Stellenbosch werk en daagliks van die Kaapse noordelike voorstede, die Paarl en Wellington moet pendel, ’n bekostigbare alternatiewe woonplek bied. “Die ontwikkeling is nie net bekostigbaar nie, maar ook van hoogstaande gehalte. Kopers sal die opsie hê om, byvoorbeeld, nou ’n huis te koop en eers later ’n swembad in te sit. Daar is ook ’n verskeidenheid van opsies rakende die wonings self, het Horn gesê. Volgens die argitek, Martina le Roux-Cloete van Dennis Moss Vennootskap op Stellenbosch, is die ontwerp van die wonings op Kaapse streeksargitektuur geskoei. Dit is só gedoen om spesifiek die Stellenbosch-omge-

Die ontwikkelingspan betrokke by die Koelenhofontwikkeling. wing te komplementeer. Hannes Odendaal, eiendomskonsultant by Horn & De Koning Eiendomme, het gesê daar word voorsien dat die klem by Koelenbosch hoofsaaklik op die gesin sal val met inwoners wat uit jongmense met jong kinders sal bestaan. “Voorts is die ontwikkeling sentraal in die platteland en in die Bolandse wynlande geleë met die N1 naby en Stellenbosch net 8 km se ry van Koelenbosch. Die bekende wynplase Beyerskloof en Simonsig is ook so te sê teenaan die ontwikkeling, asook die Devonvalegholfbaan,” het Odendaal gesê. Koelenbosch bied uitstekende waarde vir geld in die sin dat dit ’n drie-slaapkamerwoning met twee badkamers, enkelmotorhuis en 24 uur veiligheid op ’n losstaande eietitel-erf vir vanaf R1,6 miljoen bied. Vir dieselfde be-

drag kan dalk ’n twee-slaapkamerwoonstel in Stellenbosch bekostig word. Odendaal het ook vertel dat daar groot belangstelling uit die buiteland vir belegging in die ontwikkeling is. “In Desember 2014 het ons meer as 50 navrae oor die ontwikkeling ontvang waarvan ’n aansienlike aantal uit die buiteland en veral Europa was. Die res was plaaslik en ook uit Gauteng. “Die groot belangstelling kan veral aan die prysklas, vooruitsigte vir kapitaalgroei en die relatief groot erwe van die ontwikkeling toegeskryf word. “Vir die buitelanders gaan dit veral oor ’n leefstyl in die wynlande van die Boland, die nabygeleë Devonvale-gholfbaan en die bekende wynplase Beyerskloof en Simonsig net langsaan. Die klimaat speel ook ’n rol met die

voorneme om die hefte van die jaar hier deur te bring,” sê Odendaal. Volgens Odendaal is daar ook belangstelling van beleggers in Koelenbosch. Teen die genoemde prysklas kan verhurings van tussen R12 000 en R15 000 verwag word. ’n Verdere aantreklikheid vir beleggers is ’n belastingkorting van 5% op die bouprys indien daar meer as vyf eenhede aangeskaf word. “Die wonings word nou in fases bemark met die eerste 24 eenhede wat teen R1,675 miljoen tot R2,3 miljoen verkoop sal word. Pryse vir die tweede fase van 25 eenhede sal met tussen 8% en 12% styg en ’n latere derde fase teen ’n soortgelyke prysstyging. “Die verwagting is dat die kapitaalgroei binne ’n jaar nadat daar met die bou van die eenhede begin is, tussen sowat 16% tot 36% kan bedra,” sê Odendaal.

Commission rates – what you need to know Assuming that every agent would provide the identical marketing for a property, and the identical service, thus selling for exactly the same value, it would make sense to choose the agent that charges the lowest fee. That would give you the best value. However, it’s a proven fact that agents don’t deliver the same marketing and the same service – and that both of these impact significantly on what you sell for. So surely it wouldn’t be the best value to choose the agent with the lowest fee, if it results in you selling for much less. At the end of the day, what really counts for a property seller is what

As with everything in life – you get what you pay for. Yes, we want to save money where we can. But we alsoknowthatcheapestisveryseldom best. It’s all about the value you get for your money, not about how much it costs you. To illustrate it simply: Most people don’tdrivearoundinthecheapestcar on the market. They drive the car that they believe gives them the best value for money, based on the features and comforts that are important to them. The same is true when it comes to the fees you pay an estate agent for selling your property.

you get net – “in your pocket” so to speak. Consider this: If Agent A sells your property for R2 million, and charges you 5% plus VAT, you net R1 886 000. Agent B offers you much better marketing and service, and a selling strategy that attracts more buyers thus creating buyer competition. He sells your property for R2,2 million, but charges a fee of 6% plus VAT. So you net R2 049 000. Which agent was the most expensive? It wasn’t the agent with the highest fee. It was the agent that offered you the worst value, and resulted in you netting a lower figure.

keting and strategies Sadly, all too often we see is higher than the a seller selecting the agent agent that offers very with a low commission but little. But be sure to offering little value.

More buyers boost property market The average home purchase price in South Africa increased by 5,6% in the 12 months to endJanuary to R930 000, according to the latest statistics from BetterBond Home Loans. These figures also show that the average home loan granted during this period covered only 83% of the purchase price – meaning that most homebuyers still had to come up with a large sum of cash in order to complete their transactions. “Fortunately, however, things have generally been much easier for first-time buyers,” says BetterBond CEO Shaun Rademeyer. “While the average first-time home price also increased in the past 12 months, to R651 000, the banks were in most cases prepared to finance about 91,5% of that. “This meant that the average first-time buyer only had to save a deposit of around R55 000 – and that helped BetterBond to maintain an average bond approval ratio of 73% in the 12 months to end-January.” In addition, the group’s statistics show, the lower deposit requirements also helped to ensure that about 41% of the 37 000 home loans formally granted through BetterBond in the past year went to first-time buyers – even though they only accounted for 28,5% of the total value of all the properties purchased with these loans. “First-time buyers are generally young people with less ability to cope financially with rising interest rates and living costs, and they tend to give up on home purchases much more easily than repeat buyers. So the fact that so many of them stayed in the market during 2014 indicates the strength of demand in this sector – and bodes well for the future of the market as a whole as they outgrow their first homes and start to upgrade.” “In short, there are currently more prospective buyers in the market, a greater percentage of whom are likely to be able to qualify for home loans.”

New release for Sitari Fields Uvest Property Group plans to officially launch phase two of sales on site at Sitari Country Estate on 7 March by way of a “Country Market”, exclusively intended for pre-registered buyers and their families. “Sitari Country Estate is a remarkable development with a very special feel, and it has lived up to our expectations and proven to be a very popular product. All 92 erven made available in phase one were snapped up within just 20 weeks,” the developer, Uvest Property Group, says. “We also expect phase two to sell exceptionally well, and are making some of the best

located erven in the entire development available in this phase. Registrations are now open for phase two erven.” The launch on site will give potential buyers a glimpse of what it will be like to live at Sitari Country Estate. Once the estate is fully established, it is envisaged that a regular country market will be hosted there for all residents to enjoy, as part of the country life-style that this estate will offer. With its 22 hectare wetlands with bird hides and boardwalks, orchards, meadows, vineyards, parks, herb gardens and 40 m wide green corridors, this is a low-density estate that embraces a country feel. Fully 36% or 71 hectares of Sitari Country Estate comprises green are-

as for residents to enjoy. Adds Uvest Property Group: “Sales personnel will be available on 7 March with a large physical model and state-of-the art 3D presentations. We urge all interested parties to register their interest by visiting www.sitari.co.za in order to obtain an invitation to the launch and to be first in line to secure a property. First purchase rights are given to pre-registered clients, and we expect as much interest as we had with the release of the first phase.” Of the opportunities still available in phase one, 60% of the luxury apartments in The Grand Olive have been sold, and only eight of the first batch of completed, turn-key Village Homes remain.

Stock shortage in popular Gordon’s Bay Gordon’s Bay residential properties in the R600 000 to R800 000 price range have been few and far between since October last year. So says Jan de Villiers, principal of Re/Max of Southern Africa, who adds that families still comprise the bulk of the buyers’ pool in this Western Cape coastal town. “We’re really short of stock in this price range right now. There’s been a definite uptick in the level of interest and amount of sales since October. Prices haven’t risen significantly since then, but the sales volumes have definitely increased.” He says an increasing number of people are looking at properties above R2 million. “We’ve had a number of sales for R1,5 million and R1,6 million and buyers are regaining their confidence in the property market, the economy and property as an asset class.” During November and December alone, Pam Golding Properties’ (PGP) agents concluded R12,5 million in sales in the town, including two upmarket mountainside and waterfront homes, priced at R3 million and R3,5 million respectively. PGP’s area manager, Linda Killick, says the company now has over 50 exclusive mandates on its books in Gordon’s Bay, ranging from apartments priced at just R365 k to luxury topend homes around the R16 million mark. “We also have a number of homes ideal for family buyers, priced from around R1,5 million and upwards,” says Killick. “This means that families can acquire decent-sized homes and gardens at a very competitive price, and raise their children in a secure and serene environment, close to the sea, with a friendly small-town atmosphere and ample schooling and sports facilities close by.

“The famed Bikini Beach offers safe swimming in warm waters, and has enjoyed Blue Flag status for three consecutive years now. There are also ample opportunities to get out into nature, from gentle hikes in the surrounding mountains to more strenuous excursions like kloofing in the Steenbras River Gorge, paragliding or quad-biking.” PGP’s MD for the Boland and Overberg regions, Annien Borg, says the company’s recent sales have included some returning expatriates as well as a number of investment buyers. “Gordon’s Bay lies in an ideal position, close to work opportunities in Somerset West and Stellenbosch, which are under 20 minutes away, close to the airport, and even within easy reach of Kuils River and its surrounding industrial areas. Yet at the same time it is perfectly positioned for weekend getaways to Betty’s Bay, Pringle Bay, Hermanus and the like.” De Villiers says even though no overseas buyers have recently bought in Gordon’s Bay, investors are making their presence felt. “We are seeing a lot of speculators who want to buy, let the property for a year or two and then sell again.” PGP’s current mandates in the town include a luxurious beachfront home situated in a secure complex, with over 750 m² of living space. Priced at R12 million, the home offers four large en suite bedrooms and expansive living areas, a private courtyard pool and a bar leading onto a rooftop patio. Another notable property for sale is a spacious family home ideal for an extended family or even dual living. The main house offers three en suite bedrooms, while a further two en suite rooms can be found in a separate private apartment with its own kitchen. The property is on the market at R3,4m.

Wellington, a buyers’ destination Many people in the major cities in South Africa have a yearning for a quieter, more rural lifestyle, one in which the influences of modern city life are less apparent. This is according to Tertius Joubert, the Rawson Property Group’s franchisee for Wellington, who says this yearning tends to grow in strength when couples are bringing up children. In the Cape, people inclined to feel this way tend to look first to Stellenbosch, Paarl, Somerset West and Wellington for alternative homes. All of these have good schools and are attractive to those looking to relocate, but it soon becomes obvious to them that the prices of Wellington homes are significantly lower than those of the

other three towns mentioned. “The Winelands’ open air rural lifestyle which certain people are seeking, is much the same in all these towns, but the price difference is substantial.” In general, homes in Wellington will be 30% to 40% less expensive, he says. Joubert says it is this indisputable fact, which has led to a sharp rise of home sales in Wellington over the last two years, especially in the lower price brackets of R800 000 to R1,6 million. “We are still seeing limited interest in the higher price bracket – that is those homes priced from R2 million to R6 million –, even though Wellington has a fair share of such homes.” Below R1,6 million, however, Joubert says stock shortages are now making themselves

felt, as are price rises which are now in the region of 10% to 12% per annum. He says any correctly priced home in the more affordable brackets mentioned will probably be sold in four to six weeks. Currently, Wellington’s sectional title apartments in particular are offering good value. He says 70% of these are rented out to the 3 000 students attending the teacher training college as well as the information technology and the agricultural sciences colleges. Most of these students are to be found in such upmarket developments as the Piano Factory and River Sands. In general, such units will sell for R400 000 to R600 000. According to Joubert, new housing developments in Wellington, such as Bains Vallei, are also offering exceptionally good value. It will have 32 freestanding homes, a few of which will be double storey, and all homes will conform to the Cape Vernacular style, with attractive white plaster and grey, pitched roofs. They are sold at plot and plan prices of R890 000 to R1,4 million. The other new developments are Bergendal and the Ranzadale. Here, again, prices are low in comparison to those of sectional title projects nearer to Cape Town. Those looking for buy-to-let opportunities in the Boland town should see what Wellington canprovide.Thesectionaltitleunitsinthisarea

CERES

The historic church in Wellington rent from R8 000 upwards, and freestanding homes from R8 000 to R10 000, with a few prices here and there far higher. Looking ahead, Joubert says there is always a danger of stock shortages in the high demand price brackets, causing estate agents to overvalue to get mandates. However, as yet, that has not been a serious problem in Wellington.

Paarl sales on the increase in all price brackets There is further evidence that Paarl residential property prices are rising steadily and that while demand is increasing in the lower price brackets, there has also been a marked shift upwards in the higher price brackets, says Lizette Joubert, the Rawson Property Group’s franchisee for Paarl. Joubert, who has now been the Rawson Property Group’s Paarl franchisee for 10 years and who has been selected to receive the group’s Chairman’s Award in the past, is now employing an impressive 12 agents. In 2012, she said, 38% of her team’s sales were under R1 million, 50% in the R1 million to R2 million bracket and 10% above R2 million. In 2014, 54% of her sales were under R1 million, 34% in the R1 million to R2 million bracket and 12% above R2 million. These figures might seem to convey the message that the trend has been towards the less expensive properties – but, said Joubert, in the same two year period her overall turnover rose by 41% and this was only Beautiful vineyard along the wine route in Paarl. possible because of ongoing about because our turnovers in the upper sales in the higher price brackets. “The big increase in the sub-R1 million brackets also increased noticeably and bracket,” she said, “was due to our estab- Paarl buyers did adjust their thinking and lishing a satellite office in Paarl East.

This came What this means is that in the middle

bracket, our actual turnover rose by 14% and in the higher bracket by 16%.” The Paarl East office, said Joubert, soon found that there was among the least affluent of the Paarl community “a very strong hunger” to become home owners. The en-

couraging thing, she said, is that in those two years they have greatly increased in their sophistication and in their knowledge of the property market and this in turn has resulted in their understanding better the criteria on which banks issue loans. “We do still get cases where the applicants try to hide certain credit impairments, but of course, these are always picked up by credit investigations. On the whole, however, these buyers understand the market far better than they did before.” “With buyers now showing a greater interest in Paarl property, the challenge facing all agents in the area in 2015 will be to find stock and when we do obtain stock, if it is accurately priced, we invariably sell it within five to six weeks. We have seen correctly priced properties sold within a week of being listed,” said Joubert. Asked to what she attributes the on-going success of her franchise, Joubert said that she had tried from the outset to inculcate the idea that loyalty to the client is as important as loyalty to the employer. “We see ourselves as long term operators and we know therefore that one displeased client can influence a great many others. We always strive to keep all clients satisfied with the service they are receiving.”

19 Who benefits from restriction on foreign ownership?

BOLAND SOLD

Eikestadnuus

STELLENBOSCH

According to Lightstone data, only about 3% of all property in South Africa is foreign owned land, at best, 2% of all annual purchases are done by foreigners*. The reason for wanting to restrict ownership and who this is meant to benefit is then rather difficult to gauge, says Seeff chairman, Samuel Seeff. It seems to just be that time of year again when the land debate regrettably turns to foreign property ownership and, rather than advance a solution to the land issue, it sends the wrong message to investors and puts undue pressure on the property market. Certainly insofar as privately held residential property is concerned, the wish to restrict foreigners seems to be more about politics than land redress, says Seeff. It is not foreign visitors, but mostly those who reside here on a permanent basis that constitute the bulk of property buying, he adds. Consider also that as many foreigners sell their property each year, thus resulting in a negligible net effect, possibly even taking foreign buying into negative territory in real terms. “Foreigners” (i.e. foreigners resident here and off-shore holiday home buyers) for example bought about 456 out of a total of 10 321 properties that sold across the entire Cape metro last year. This is of course where the bulk of the actual non-resident buying takes place. Even across the richest and most expensive residential real estate strip favoured by foreigners, the Atlantic Seaboard and City Bowl, only just over 10% of all sales last year were to foreigners, says Seeff. If you extrapolate this nationally, the picture remains similar. According to recent Lightstone data, only about 700 out of almost 24 000 monthly sales are to foreign-

ers. While some R9,7bn in real estate sold to foreigners, about R11,3bn in foreignowned property sold, thus leaving a negative net effect of R1,6bn. The myth that foreigners buy the most expensive property and pay exorbitant prices needs to be dispelled conclusively, says Seeff. While the weak currency has made our real estate attractive, foreigners, like every buyer out there, wants to pay the lowest possible price. In fact, it is South Africans who understand the nuances and characteristics of the South African property market that are paying the highest prices. The two highest prices ever paid for residential property were both South African bought, he says. A Capetonian paid R190 million for a Clifton apartment in 2013, while a Pretoria businessman paid R113 million for a penthouse at the One & Only at the V&A Waterfront. Of the 51 most expensive properties sold last year, only eight were sold to foreigners, mostly from the United Kingdom. The four highest prices were paid by South Africans – R70 million for vacant land and R55,86 million for a villa in Clifton, R64,9 million for a villa in Fresnaye and R69 million for an estate in Bishopscourt. Most of the foreign buyers are so-called UK and northern European swallows who

travel south to escape the harsh European winters. They stay for three to four months over our summer and often bring friends and family. They bring pound sterling and euros, shopping, eating out and visiting tourist attractions, all of which are vital job creators. Making foreign buyers feel unwelcome is likely to have a knock-on effect on tourism, especially in the Cape where it is a vital driver of the local economy. In any event, what constitutes a foreign buyer, he asks. Is it a permanent resident, someone who visits for up to six months or someone who just comes for a short stay? What about those from the rest of the SADC-region and African countries like Nigeria, who have growing business interests in Johannesburg and are looking to buy homes in Sandton. Do we want to discourage this? If foreigners are made to feel unwelcome, they, along with their friends and family are likely to start looking elsewhere for their annual holidays and winter escapes. Tourism is vital for the economy and the biggest multiplier of jobs, adds Seeff. Most foreigners pay cash for their property and can in any event only borrow up to 50%. That is direct foreign investment. Then there is the residual income that government receives in the form of rates

Making foreign buyers feel unwelcome is likely to have a knockon effect on tourism, especially in the Cape where it is a vital driver of the local economy.”

and taxes and basic utilities as well as jobs created for domestic and external service providers such as property, pool and garden maintenance. Foreigners also bring progress. The regeneration of the old run down Cape wine farms and Cape Town’s inner city development being two prime examples, but, says Seeff, also of leisure facilities and tourist attractions. All of this, Seeff says, brings money into the economy and creates jobs. Finally, is this correct constitutionally? Can you be prevented from selling your own land/property to a buyer of your choice? Will restriction not just encourage deviant behaviour and circumvention? Given that foreigners own a paltry 3% of property at best, the move to restrict ownership is not about retaining prime property for South Africans, these are already owned by South Africans as alluded to above nor is going to assist in the land redress, says Seeff. We would rather encourage government to engage with industry experts before making statements that do little else other than to upset the market and create uncertainty. Especially considering that we are talking about a paltry 3% of property at best, he adds. If government feels strongly then yes, restrict the sale of government owned land rather than interfere with the free market principles of wiling buyer and willing seller. While countries such as Australia restrict foreign ownership, many others such as the UK, where about 15% of property is foreign owned, is open. Given the economic benefits of external investment, there seems to be no reason not to take the path of the latter. The converse is likely to impact negatively on the market and harm the economy.

BLOODHOUND SUPERSONIC CAR: LUBRICATED BY CASTROL

SA takes centre stage for world land speed record

The team aims to hit the almost unbelievable speed of 1 609 km/h (1 000 miles per hour) and their achievement will be beamed out worldwi de. PHOTO: MOTORPRESS MOTORPRESS All eyes will be on South Africa this year when a British team attempts to break the current 1 227 km/h world land speed record in their brand new Bloodhound supersonic car, which is a cross between a racing car and a plane. This time the feat will be held on Hakskeen Pan in the Northern Cape and the UK record holder, Andy Green, will again partner with team leader Richard Noble and Castrol – the same team from 18 years ago when he set the current record in the Nevada Desert in 1997. In October Andy Green plans to squeeze behind the wheel of the specially created Bloodhound SCC, which is powered by an incredible 135 000 hp. This is more than six times the total power output of the entire field of starters in Formula 1. The team aims to hit the almost unbelievable speed of 1 609 km/h (1 000 miles per hour) and their achievement will be beamed out worldwide. To achieve the immense power output and the target speed, the project team led by Noble, is placing its trust in a jet engine, rocket propul-

sion and the high-performance lubricants from Castrol. Castrol 5000/BP Turbo oil 2380 will be used for the jet engine, Castrol Hyspin AWHM46 for the hydraulics, Castrol React SRF for the brakes system, Castrol Alphasyn T32 as wheel bearing oil and Castrol Inertox Medium 150 as HTP Rocket fuel coupling grease. Castrol EDGE will be used in its engine. Noble says Castrol is a perfect partner. “We’ve got to get the highest power to weight ratio as we possibly can. And we’ve got to get the car as light as we can and yet maintain its strength. Our ongoing relationship with Castrol in making this happen is great.” Rob Bowen, Castrol Technology Manager for Africa says Castrol has already been part of 21 previous records. “It’s remarkable to look back at how motor cars, fuels and lubricants have evolved. The current world speed record is almost 1000km/ h faster than the first one set in a Sunbeam in 1922. Castrol has been selected as the best partner for each of the feats. We are again going to be responsible for all the lubricants used. In this latest project we will be showcasing our newtechnologytitaniumproducts,whichwere only released last year.

Nissan celebrates market leadership with NP200 Stealth Special Edition MOTORPRESS Nissan is kicking off 2015 in style with the ‘Nissan NP200 Stealth’ – an ultra-cool special edition that combines the famous practicality of the bakkie with head-turning looks. Despite its name, customers are sure to get noticed in the ‘Stealth’ thanks to its wealth of themed design features and approved factory-fitted accessories – all for a hard to beat retail price of R169 000 (inc. VAT). The leisure-focused 1.6 petrol special edition, which is produced locally in Nissan’s Rosslyn plant, taps into South Africans’ love of their ‘go-anywhere’ work and leisure bakkies. The NP200 took on all-comers when it entered the market in 2008 with a segment-leading payload of 800 kg with one diesel and two petrol engines. It soon became one of South Africa’s favourite sub onetonne pickups. The Stealth will leave rivals in its shadow thanks to a winning combination of generous accessories – all fitted at the factory – and styling cues. The 1.6 litre special edition comes with air conditioning, ABS and two airbags, while dark grey techno paint, darkened sports bar and flush-fitting tonneau cover kick off the dark theme. A prominent nudge bar is also added that fits below the colour-

Nissan has opted for a darkened steel finish for both the sports and nudge bar, giving the NP200 Stealth a dominant road presence. The dark theme extends further to special factory-fitted charcoal

black alloy wheels with red accents in the hubs, dark side and rear fitted Stealth decals and dark-tinted smash-and-grab protected windows. To crown the exterior treatment and identify the NP200 Stealth on

the road, Nissan has added daytime running lights to the front air dam. The accessories are not limited to the exterior. Inside the spacious cabin, Nissan has added an Alpine radio with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The seats are uphol-

stered in special eco leather with titanium-coloured contrasting stitching and Stealth-embroidered logos. The logo is also repeated in the Stealth carpet set. To round off the full house treatment, Nissan has fitted the NP200 Stealth with remote central locking. “Last year’s NP200 Loaded Special Edition was a big success, but for 2015 we challenged our design and engineering team to push the boundaries. The result is the NP200 Stealth, a pickup that we believe will be even more successful, especially because it represents significant value and the quality of factory fitment,” says Konstantin von Vieregge, general manager for marketing and planning at Nissan South Africa. The R169 000 price tag includes Nissan’s 6 year/150 000 km warranty and is available across Nissan South Africa’s 120-strong national dealer network. The NP200 recently celebrated its most successful year since its introduction after the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers (Naamsa) reported total NP200 sales of 17 412 units in 2014, reaffirming its position as South Africa’s undisputed sub one-tonne favourite. “The NP200 lives comfortably in both the workhorse commercial market and the leisure market, proving that for work or play South Africans love their NP200s,” concludes Von Vieregge.

MOTORPRESS Entries for the 2015 edition of South Africa’s pre-eminent gentlemen’s racing event, the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb, are now open – and bound to sell out quickly. In mid-May, the quiet road leading up to the Simola Golf and Country Estate in Knysna, Western Cape, will transform into a motorsport spectacle. The sound of four, six, eight cylinders and more will echo

across the hills, while more than 10 000 spectators line the course to witness a variety of high-speed machines strut their stuff. The fun kicks off on 14 May, which sees the inaugural running of Supercar Thursday – an event where up to 50 supercar owners can take their high-performance machinery for a blast up the Simola Hill road. While this is a non-competitive event, with no prizes, it will still be timed. Classic Car Friday returns on 15 May, with 50 competitors battling it

In midMay, the quiet road leading up to the Simola Golf and Country Es tate, in Knysna, Western Cape, will transform into a motorsport spectacle.

out in their historic machines for top honours. Spectators will be able to see a wide variety of famous classics in action on the Friday, including iconic Jaguar models such as the MK II and E-Type, competing in categories ranging from pre-war vehicles, all the way to 60s, 70s, and 80s-era racing cars. Of course, the highlight of the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb is the King of the Hill competition, which runs on 16 and 17 May. In this no-holdsbarred timed event all manner of machines will have a chance to go for glory in their respective classes. Production cars, from the ordinary to 400-plus kilowatt sports cars like the Jaguar F-TYPE Coupé R, and purpose-built racing cars boasting outputs of more than 700 kW will thrill spectators as they scream up the hill for the coveted King of the Hill title. The weekend will also see the running of the successful Jaguar Media Challenge, now in its second year. Five journalists will vie for the honour of being crowned South Africa’s fastest motoring scribe and having their name immortalised on the Alucat Cup. Last year’s winner, Stuart Grant, will return to defend his title from four challengers – with all five media driving suitably racy Jaguar XF R-Sports. Competitors can enter and read class regulations online, at www.speedfestival.co.za. General admission passes for spectators can be purchased at the gate for the duration of the event.
