Tony Kotze

Anthony Kotze (23 January 1931 – 13 April 2016), referred to in some sources as Anthony Kotzé,[1][2] was a racing driver and racing car constructor from South Africa.

[4] In 1960, he bought a Lotus 16 (the chassis raced by Bruce Halford at the 1959 Monaco Grand Prix), which he raced at the Cape and South African Grands Prix.

His design, the Assegai, drew inspiration from the successful Ferrari 156 F1 and Lotus 18, but featured new innovations such as the fuel tank being a stressed chassis member.

[8][9] Select events followed,[10] including the 1965 Cape South Easter Trophy.

[11] Kotze assisted with the Assegai's restoration to 1962 Formula One regulations for participation in the 2016 Historic Grand Prix of Monaco, but did not get to see the car racing again.
