Hi Fergus

It was interesting to read your message. I am afraid I can't help you at all. I am in the UK and did find it really hard trying to access information.
If you google Wilson Rountree there is a google e book about the industry but don't think that would help. Sorry and good luck with your search. I would think there is every possibility that a Wilson purchased the car.
Regards
Pam

Dear Pam

Thank you very much for your reply and advice.

It may be easier for me to go to East London one day to see what I can dig up!

Regards

Hi

I'm doing some research on the Peppermint Crisp which was created in South Africa in 1959 at the Wilson Rowntree Factory when Douglas Wilson was the director.  There is no information online and I was hoping that there might be someone in the family who knew something about it or could help me work out who to speak to to find out more.

Any help would be much appreciated!
