An expert at Naledi Motors yesterday revealed that refurbishing 1978 and 1974 models may not be economically viable, save for when one is just a collector of vintage cars.Former president Festus Mogae tried to use one of the antique cars during his last term but got stuck along the busy Willie Seboni Drive.  He was later rescued by police officers after creating a traffic jam during the rare solo drive-around.
