Current & Future

Mugwump is currently in safe storage in Cape Town, complete with her own custom-made cover for body-work protection.

Mugwump turns 100 years old in 2030, and there is a tentative idea to try and get her to complete a third Trans Africa trip. This would be a first ever feat, and something worthwhile pursuing. Several challenges would need to be surmounted –

  • Overhaul of the car to the best possible extent
  • Collection of now scarce spares for the trip
  • Political instability in some countries that need to be traversed
  • General safety
  • Need for self-contained back up vehicle
  • Car trailer towed by back-up vehicle for emergency retrieval and safe overnight storage
  • Willing team of drivers
  • Funding!!
