Isn't that well below Rookie level? Look closely, and you will spot some differences.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and who built it.

Come on, guys. There aren't so many Jeep building countries in Africa, aren't there?

Apparently Jeeps were assembled in South Africa.

So I searched a bit and: "The third type of CJ6 commonly seen in South Africa was assembled by Volkswagen South Africa for the private market between about 1975 and 1980. These models also had unique distinguishing features; a bracket that juts out on the drivers side (right) rear corner which appears to be a bump-stop for the swing-away spare wheel bracket. Secondly it has curved rear wheel arches but with a flat plate inserted at the top of the arch. These two details can be seen in photos from a 1975 test by a South African motoring magazine (B&W photo below) and also on two of these CJ6’s seen running around in the last year or two."

Too be honest, it was easier then expected, once I knew where it was not build...
