A query from Kenya. Please help if you can! FN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Saab 96 <mysaa...@gmail.com> Date: 27 September 2012 14:08 Subject: Pio Gama Pinto's Saab 96 To: fredericknoron...@gmail.com
Dear Frederick, I recently view some of your images on flickr. in particular the one with Pio Gama Pinto, the Kenyan journalist, politician. I live in Nairobi, Kenya and I am trying to trace his car. He had a white SAAB 96 sport and this car features in nearly all media stories as it was this car he was driving when he was assassinated in 1965. Do, you have by chance any image with Pio Pinto and his SAAB 96 (I know they are there as I saw one once in a Kenyan newspaper in the mid-1990s), which you can share with me. I know the license plates were KHW 363 which is the registration for Nairobi for a car in 1964. I have contacted the Goan community already in Nairobi already (Awaaz Magazine, etc) and I am touch with them - and my aim is to trace the car (if it is still there or perhaps it has ended up as scrap), view it and then assess whether I could bring it back to its original state as valuable artifact of the recent (political) heritage of Kenya. Thank you in advance for your assistance Kind regards, Rene John Dierkx, PhD Nairobi, Kenya
