Do you know what this is, including the name of the conversion company, to be awarded a point.

An easy Expert point awaits.

Is this a datsun 120Y Bakkie from South Africa?

Djetset · « **Reply #3 on:** September 10, 2010, 02:28:13 AM »

You are on to something. I will lock this for you for 24 hours for a more accurate model name, plus the name of the conversion company.

mymokke · « **Reply #4 on:** September 10, 2010, 11:30:07 PM »

Lets try this ..... Datsun B120 - some web info says they were badged as 120Y after the 1200 cars were discontinued.
Still trying to nail down who did the safari/bush conversion.

I'll keep it with you for another 24hrs.

mymokke · « **Reply #6 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:04:48 PM »

Sorry, I'm getting nowhere on the conversion ...... open to all, I admit to failure.

Could this be a conversion by BENBAR of Zambia?

Djetset · « **Reply #8 on:** September 22, 2010, 05:07:34 AM »

Not a BENBAR conversion.

Is this an African conversion company?

Djetset · « **Reply #10 on:** September 23, 2010, 04:15:48 AM »

Yes

Is this an Austill Gameviewer conversion?

Djetset · « **Reply #12 on:** October 02, 2010, 07:39:38 AM »

Stick with it Mymoke as it's not that one.

mymokke · « **Reply #13 on:** October 03, 2010, 08:43:15 PM »

One way or another I'll get it ....... Since I'm doing this alphabetically, is the coachbuilder from the 1st half or second half of the alphabet?

pieter · « **Reply #14 on:** October 04, 2010, 03:31:41 AM »

I don't think identifying the maker of the conversion is easy - it could have been any of a number of companies (or even a private conversion); I'll guess (for now) Baillies

mymokke · « **Reply #15 on:** October 10, 2010, 11:27:21 PM »

Is it a Barker conversion from Benoni?

mymokke · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2010, 11:28:39 PM »

While I'm trying things out ....... maybe a TFM from Olifantsfontein?

Djetset · « **Reply #17 on:** October 11, 2010, 08:10:20 AM »

No sorry, none of the above.

pieter · « **Reply #18 on:** October 12, 2010, 05:03:21 AM »

My next guess will be Gerber 4x4 - for the conversion, not the car

Djetset · « **Reply #19 on:** October 12, 2010, 07:14:42 AM »

Afraid not.

pieter · « **Reply #20 on:** October 14, 2010, 03:27:34 AM »

Safari Conversions?

Djetset · « **Reply #21 on:** November 01, 2010, 06:21:46 PM »

Well done Pieter, it is a Nissan (Sunny) 1400 Pick-Up converted by Safari Conversions, for that exact purpose.

pieter · « **Reply #22 on:** November 03, 2010, 05:08:48 AM »

The Nissan 1400 pickup (generally called a 'bakkie' in South Africa) was in production until last year or so. There are thousands of them still on SA roads. This particular modification struck me as limited in use as a game viewing vehicle, where 4x4's would normally be used. Its low ground clearance would suggest that it is used in a much more 'civilised' kind of game park or even a zoo.
