At the risk of steering Bruce's thread even further off topic than it already is, Lightburn in SA manufactured an interesting mix of products. Cement mixers, electric drills, washing machines and yes "cars".
If you search in Google Images for Lightburn drills you'll see that interesting shape of the Zeta Sports also reflected in their electric drills.

Some of my best memories are of a lightburn mixer. My old man had one. Slide nights at home on the odd occasion, a ladder 10 - 12 feet leaned on top of that mixer, shows me and my younger sitting atop of a lightburn mixer. I'd have been 5, he'd have been 4, with a cockerspanial called Jemmy, sitting on top of that lightburn mixer. Its one of my earliest memories, sitting atop that mixer and the dog walking up the rungs of a ladder, laid over on an angle, to reach the top of a 5 foor tall mixer.
In later years of my childhood, it was kind of like a task, threw into the teens. We used to give it a kick in the guts every now and then. It had this fold out cranking handle, on a serious flywheel. And this big header tank you used to fill with water
Regards Phil
