john from Staffs  | But how do you know that it's not a Benford or a Thwaites?? It looks to have room only for a small two cylinder Lister or Petter engine, which would indicate those two makes. -- Last edit: 2008-01-20 22:53:32 |

Alexander | Well, that is teamwork at its best! .gif ":)") With a good hint you can find almost anything! PS: I just sent an eMail to the Barford company. Let's see if they can confirm it. |

| Barford Site Dumper The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) |
antp | If you can even identify that, how come that there are still so many unidentified cars on the site ? Nice work |
2005-11-29 22:01 | |
| Barford Site Dumper The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) |
Alexander | That is a very good tip, indeed! I found a (not very good) picture of a Barford brochure (showing model Bison, Beaver, or Bantam of 1970).  Let me take that down as the maker. I will make some enquiries which model this one is. |

| 1974 Nissan E20 The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) |
Alexander | That is the right direction. It is the Nissan E20 (1974). It seems that the name 'Urvan' only started with the next model E23 (1983). |
2005-11-29 10:10 | |
| 1974 Nissan E20 The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) |
mm | Ugly enough and the typical window "line" to be a Nissan Urvan. | 2005-11-29 03:26 | |
| Tata The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) |
mm | This may be a locally produced Daimler, but the optical impression is very, very similar to a number of Tata buses (from India) including the 1212. Is that a Daimler "star" or the Tata "T" on the grille?... | 2005-11-29 03:24 | |

Ralph | E12 | 2005-11-28 23:19 | |
| Barford Site Dumper The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) |
Alexander | Perhaps someone has books on dumpers. The number of makers is limited. This one is two-wheel-drive from around 1950-60, I guess. In Germany Zettelmayer was the first to produce dumpers in 1947, followed by Orenstein & Koppel in 1954. The idea started in the US and soon spread over all countries. As this is a South-African film which was made in Botswana it is most likely that it is a US or British make. Let's see who will identify it: the hunt is on! |
