Rare Zini tandem for sale in WA

I have never heard of this brand before (apparently it is South African) and one rarely sees twin twin laterals.

Had a custom built Assenmacher (Mich., USA) back in 1977 with similar design.
Had double set of twin laterals; had no top tube for stoker as she is under 5 ft. tall + a bent rear seattube for shorter (60-1/4 inch) wheelbase.
Built out of Reynolds 531 double butted racing tubing; put 64,000 miles on that fast/light machine!
Never heard of Zini, but then most folks never heard of Assenmacher either.

Gotty Hansen built under the brands Hansom, Zini. These were build as racers, track and tandem, and some definitely custom fit. Gotty Hansen was the president of the SACF - South African Cycling Federation.
