SIM sell-up for S.A. consulate
PA Wellington The South African Government is likely to gain more than $1 million from the disposal of its property and assets after last month's closing of its Consu-late-General in Wellington. Although yet to go on the market, the diplomatic mansion in Wadestown, which was the home of the
former Consul-General, Mr Alan Harvey, has an estimated value of $700,000. Wellington real estate agents have inspected the property but as yet, no-one has been issued with selling instructions from the lawyers handling the Consu-late-General’s estate. Two agents yesterday predicted that whether, offered by defined price or
auction the property would reach about $700,000. The six cars that were owned by the ConsulateGeneral have already been sold to an Auckland car dealer who managed to “scoop” his Wellington counterparts by putting in an offer on the day of the announced closing. The dealer, who preferred to remain anonymous, said
yesterday that the . six cars had been bought for close to $380,000. The fleet included a 1982 Mercedes Benz 280 E, a 1983 Mercedes Benz 280 CE, a 1982 Mercedes Benz 280 E (the official car), a 1982 B.M.W.' 501- (Mrs Harvey’s car), a 1982 Porsche 924 (Mr Harvey’s runabout), and a 1984 Honda Prelude EX.
