82+ mirrors, ZA build. Probably late S3 109". |

Don't be fooled by the plate, because the Congo scenes were filmed in Hawaii. (Note that the other van is LHD.) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0568024/reference/?ref_=ttep_ep_22 Someone found a number plate from a country in Africa and decided that it was close enough. P.S. For future reference, the Darfur scenes in season 12 were filmed in South Africa and, if I remember correctly, there are some Land-Rovers. -- Last edit: 2026-02-11 15:35:09 |

This new capture is worse for identification of the model. I'm no expert, but I doubt that it could be identified as a Series III based on this view alone. The original capture was a daylight shot showing a spurious South African number plate on the tailgate, which led the Land-Rover to be misidentified as built in South Africa. /vehicle_2070132.html was visible in the background. |

Seems like I made a mistake while uploading vehicles  I was convinced that I added a new unknown vehicle (with the picture that is currently main), but I somehow ended replacing image on this page  Indeed, this was the original shot: ![[Image: screenshot2026-02-10232203.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/22180/26/screenshot2026-02-10232203.jpg) -- Last edit: 2026-02-11 20:04:03 |

Surprisingly it can. 82+ mirrors with divided windscreen can only be 82-83 SIII (if UK build; other assembly countries might vary but not radically). 84+ 110 had single pane screen, and from June 84 lost the sliding side windows, replaced by single pane winding glass. Making sense of the original main (now thumb) has bogged me down. It looks a convincing ZA plate, and 82+ for mirrors still stands. It's a pick-up with added hardtop - the hinge system is unfamiliar, as is the thin deflector on the roof side, Rear badge has extra splodge beneath main logo, which did occur with some Santana phases, but maybe also for other production sites. It all boils down to disregarding the hardtop for identifier details as it's an add-on, and pinning down where filmed. If it's any help, Santanas of this period went to South America, North Africa and Middle East amongst other places, so Santana a possible contender although I'm not betting anything on it. On what I can see - which basically is a number plate - ZA the only clue for thumb. |

The Transvaal plate is real but it probably doesn't belong to the Land-Rover, because the Congo scenes were filmed in Hawaii. Were Land-Rovers exported officially to the USA during the Series III years? If not, both will be used imports that could come from anywhere. -- Last edit: 2026-02-11 21:39:02 |

Only official exports to US in SIII phase listed in my L-R bible were specific batches with specific specs. But Hawaii seems to have quietly received various things - not just Landies - which were not fully-US mainland compliant so not captured in my bible. I can believe Solihull might have sent semi-skimmed Landies to Hawaii |
