Just A Drop

Posted on February 20, 2018April 11, 2019 by Holden News

Holden Vintage & Classic are proud to support Just A Drop; a remarkable international development charity dedicated to bringing clean water to areas across Africa in need.

Not often connected with water drinking, Jeremy Holden looks forward to visiting a few wells along the 6700km rally route through Africa in October 2018 as part of RallyRound’s Rally Africa. Over the last 6 months, himself and a number of Holden Morgan team have been restoring ‘Sol’, a heavily rusted and run-down 1955 Morgan +4 (so named because of its resting place for the past 40 years – The Solway Firth) which was purchased somewhat spontaneously on eBay by Jeremy and collected from Scotland shortly after.

Upon assessing the sad looking car in the Holden workshop (which by this point had disintegrated further following the long journey), it was decided that even though it was in a rather sorry state, it was complete enough to hold promise for a full restoration over the coming year. And Rally Africa became the target! While the restoration is still very much underway and the car currently disassembled for a powder coating, there remains sufficient time to complete the project and ship the car to Tanzania in September where it’ll commence its 6700km journey to Cape Town via Malawi, Zambia and Botswana. Jeremy Holden said, “We are thrilled to not only take part in Rally Africa following ‘Sol’s’ hopeful completion, but also that we can support Just A Drop with such an important cause and are very much looking forward to the adventure”.
