1999 is the first year in Africa for the D22.

Exiv96 BEThat tiny "H" logo was introduced on this grille with the August 1985 facelift in Japan, and appeared in selected markets like South Africa. So that gives us a 1986 model year (outside Japan). 2021-06-12 05:24

linguistics DEHi everybody!

This isn't a car question but maybe you guys can help me out anyways?

I am an undergrad student of linguistics at the University of Regensburg, Bavaria and I am currently researching accent performance of Botswanan English in The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.
For my project I need to know which actors are actually from Botswana.
Do any of you know who I can contact about this or maybe know this yourselves?

I already googled them.

Thank you so much for your help in this matter!

Photo 1: the man in the white shirt is the late Anthony Minghella, director of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency".
Photo 2: the reason three identical vehicles were required.
Photo 3: I am doing my best to keep the driver calm.
Photo 4: I am just visible trying to stay out of shot.

Mike-UK UKThere were actually three identical vehicles used in the production. When filming took place at Mokolodi Nature Reserve near Gaborone in Botswana, two of the vehicles with identical number plates had to drive through a police road block to get there. Neither was stopped :)
One scene required the lead character - Mma Ramotswe played by Jill Scott - to drive along a dirt road past a group of rhinos. In fact it was her double who was given the task. She was so nervous that I had to lie on the floor next to her and keep her calm while she drove past the 'dangerous' beasts. The film crew demanded a second take, then a third, and even a fourth. The poor woman was a nervous wreck by this time despite my telling her that these white rhinos would run away if you walked towards them.
Unfortunately, due to a technical error, the scene was not included in the final production.

Exiv96 BEI've had a look at japan-parts.eu, and that updated Corolla emblem appeared in May 1989. Plus there's a "Limited" badge on the front wing, which narrows the car to an XE Saloon Limited. 2018-01-25 23:38
Exiv96 BEWhite light above the front indicator : it's a Hyundai version. 2017-06-09 12:06
ddgonzal USYes - the Nissan 1400 (B140) is a unique variation of the worldwide Datsun-Nissan model series B120. In Japan they were marketed as "Sunny Truck". South Africa B120 were marketed as "Datsun 1200" (1971-1976), then "Datsun 120Y" (1976-1980), then "Datsun 1400". Bakkie is a generic word meaning pickup.

In the tv show, she repeatedly refers to it as "my little van" which is apparently what they call pickup trucks in Botswana.

South Africa:
* 1980-1982 "Datsun 1400"
* 1982-2008 "Nissan 1400"
These were built in the Roslyn, South Africa factory.

The year is not correct. It is 1985-1989 based on the raised roof, interior and grille.

ingo DESo would be "origin South Africa" correct, as it's quite far away from the original Japanese version?

btw.: :think: was there a origin Japanese made Bakkie-version of it?

antp BEAnd the missing D is on the front grille :D Weren't they sold as Datsun with all these logos? Or is it a later model modified with old elements?

ddgonzal USactually it is painted "ATSUN" on the tailgate, but it is a 1985-1989 Nissan 1400 built in South Africa. There was no corresponding version high-roof version made outside South Africa. 2013-01-01 11:25

Citsa ZAIt would be correct - origin would be Japan; built in ZA for ZA. 2011-03-31 23:40

Citsa wrote I think it is rather a case of "adapted to Southern African road regulations". This model is/was not available in ZA; [sic]

Gag Halfrunt wrote Not made for ZA. Imported secondhand from Japan to Botswana and modified to meet local requirements.

Thanks for the explanation for South Africa regulation :)
