rjluna2 ◊ 2012-11-13 19:17	What the heck Is this some sort of conversion?
-- ◊ 2012-11-13 19:18	Yes. If you search for Mercedes Bakkie on Google Images you get all kinds of results.
3loader ◊ 2012-11-13 19:22	Its not so bad, comparing to a Porsche 928 custom pick up.
Ingo ◊ 2012-11-13 19:25	Origin ZA is correct here. Despite the W126 was built there anyways, this is a ZS-spec conversion.
ElSaxo ◊ 2012-11-13 19:31	Someone knows if is a conversion done in South Africa or in Germany and who has done this... "bakkie"?
-- ◊ 2012-11-13 19:41	ingo wrote Origin ZA is correct here. Only if they were factory-made as 'bakkies'.
Ingo ◊ 2012-11-13 20:11	If they were made by a local converter or coachbuilder, too -- Last edit: 2012-11-13 20:19:13
Lateef ◊ 2012-11-13 20:14	That's open to debate.
Q-Ball ◊ 2012-11-13 20:52	Definatley local conversion. Not a german in their right mind would do this to an SEC Merc
truckface ◊ 2012-11-13 21:52	OMG... And of all of the Mercedes, an SEC!
130rapid ◊ 2012-11-13 22:02	The excellent thing to check drivers' respect for famous & luxury Mercedes - who's able to drive in dirty overalls and wellies? :P
Ingo ◊ 2012-11-14 20:28	truckface wrote OMG... And of all of the Mercedes, an SEC! Sure about SEC? It's just the front (which is changeable). The rest as wheelbase, door, back panel looks W126 Sedan-ish. An yes - it IS orign ZA
Lateef ◊ 2012-11-14 20:37	No it isn't. 3rd party conversions do not qualify as the origin of the vehicle.
Ingo ◊ 2012-11-14 20:39	It is. Any Bakkie is unique for ZA.
Lateef ◊ 2012-11-14 20:45	So? That has nothing to do with how the origin-field is actually used on the site. It's a conversion. It started life as an ordinary Mercedes-Benz in Germany and was afterwards converted into a Bakkie in ZA, hence the built-in: ZA-tag.
dsl ◊ 2012-11-14 21:00	Is it really Merc-based? I can see what it's pretending to be (and noting an SEC rather than SE grille) but apart from front and rear fittings and wheels, nothing much else looks very Merc-like - my hunch is a totally different pick-up - probably locally made.
Ingo ◊ 2012-11-14 21:16	Lateef wrote It started life as an ordinary Mercedes-Benz in Germany and was afterwards converted into a Bakkie in ZA, hence the built-in: ZA-tag. No. It started life in ZA at http://www.mercedes-benzsa.co.za/ and was converted in ZA by a ZA-company in a specific ZA-style for a ZA-specific usage.
Lateef ◊ 2012-11-14 21:21	who'd have guessed the W126 was made under licence in ZA? Sorry about that, but the origin will remain the same unless it was factory made. -- Last edit: 2012-11-14 21:22:22
3loader ◊ 2012-11-14 21:22	It was made as ordinary W126 (if it really is, as dsl admitted). No matter how strongly it was ripped up, it still W126, origin Germany. In other way we should made another cars like this /vehicle_513330-Mercedes-Benz-S-Klasse-Stretched-Convertible-W116.html - origin USA etc.
