The pickup sounds a lot like an '80s Japanese one. Toyota Hilux (my favorite for this one, even if the taillights don't fit) / Mazda B / Datsun Truck / Anything else of that kind? -- Last edit: 2015-05-09 19:24:36 |

parts of the movie filmed in South Africa. https://c24ae.s3.amazonaws.com/6/c/e26b1a3088120ebba08c8980515ab9.jpg i know i took this from a New Zealand site but maybe there is a Ford looking about like this in South Africa |

The Mercedes is actually a Hanomag F28 or one of its siblings. |

A Düsseldorf Transporter for sure, but from what can be seen I just wonder how you can differentiate here a 1971-74 Hanomag-Henschel F-Something (de) from a 1967-86 MB T2 without viewing the grille and the headlamps? Did Hanomag-Henschel make RHD export models? ![]() (Mercedes-Bens vs. Hanomag-Henschel) -- Last edit: 2015-05-09 23:49:28 |

The L200 rear end doesn't seem to fit. And the one of the first Mazda based Ford Courier models or of the British Cortina based P100 ones don't appear to match either. I don't know if the scene takes place in South Africa, but this pickup is a RHD one (one can see the steering wheel). And so does the Mercedes-Benz (or Hanomag-Henschel? ![]() The plate ID end looks like SFG 27, which doesn't appear to be a South African registration number? Could it be a UK plate? (It could also be a French plate from Eure -which has 27 as number-, but registrations in this department never reached the 3-letter scheme in the former system ![]() |

Episode 4.02 was filmed in South Africa. The number plates are supposed to be Colombian. -- Last edit: 2015-05-09 23:48:26 |

It's one of those Toyota Corolla 1200 bakkies Link to "www.24cars.co.za" |

...which are different from this one too ![]() (See here and here) As Colombian vehicles are not RHD ones either, we may assume that the producers of this TV-Series tried to economize on travel expenses... It reminds me cheap US movies trying to make us believe that some scenes take place in foreign country with unpaved roads, rusty vehicles and outdoor footages from other movies ![]() |

The first season was all filmed in South Africa. The other seasons are a mixture of Hungary (standing in for all European locations) and South Africa (standing in for everywhere else). ![]() |

Filming costs often rearrange geography ![]() Nice find, kegare. "Ours" has smaller taillights, but all the rest of the car fits perfectly. Apparently not a Corolla, but a 1969+ Publica P30 / 1000 / Copain / Osaka. 1000 was the common name as export vehicle, and the pickup is said to have been sold until August 1988, long after the discontinuation of the other bodies (in 1978). Given Gag Halfrunt's explanations, it is most certainly a South African bakkie (i.e. pickup. Pronounced 'buck-key'), so it's a 1200 indeed (due to its 1,166 cc / 71 ci engine). With a KP38 Toyota code? |

Oopsie, I didn't know the F28 was based off the T2 ![]() |
