Let's call it 'Corona Bakkie' instead 'Corona Pickup', to distinguish ZA & J bed design ways.

Q-Ball JPH10 and its a 1967-70 because of the Rectangular block tail light configuration. 1971+ models had slimmer lamps with more lights in them.

mazeltough USWheelwell trims and "square" headlights say it's a 100 LS. All ZA 100's got round eyes by late 1976, and the next generation 100 appeared in late 1977. 2010-10-14 08:36
mazeltough USThe registration doesn't appear to follow any South African convention of the era. The registration appears to be Swaziland.

mazeltough USDefinitely a South African-made Datsun 120Y. The model was unique to South Africa, combining the body of the Japanese-market "Sunny Excellent" with the A-series 1171 cm engine. The 140Y GX had full wheel covers and additional exterior trim. It was introduced to the S.A. market in late 1975 and was produced until late 1980, when it was replaced by the Pulsar. It boasted, at one point around 1980, the highest percentage of local content of any car made in South Africa (>80%). 2010-10-14 08:29
Ddey65 USVery rare. A Willys Jeep Commando Fire Truck, which means it should be classified as a fire truck, rather than an SUV.

130rapid PL"Chris Snyders from South Africa says that Datsun 1200 GX coupes (with twin SUs) were locally produced in large numbers from 1972 to 1975. The Datsun 1200 4 door deluxe (2 barrel Hitachi) and the 4 door GX (SUs) were also produced. (...) Chris says that the Datsun 1200 ute (called a 'bakkie' in South Africa) were produced in South Africa from 1971 onwards. The name was changed to 120Y in 1976, and they had a slight facelift in 1982, with the engine being swapped for an A14".

dsl SXNo - changing it to Countryman (all steel version) is still wrong. Look at Link to "minitravellerandcountrymanregister.com" - the Countryman has square window corners, not rounded as here. Van panel corners are rounded - see http://sdmoc.gilchristcs.com/mcode/mycars/1975van.html for instance - and the black portion here matches the panel outline.

For reference the Countryman/Traveller wood version was launched Sept 1960 in UK, and the all steel version in April 61 for export only before being introduced to UK in Oct 62.

marklandynut UKI know quite a lot about the Series 2 FC models as I've done quite a bit of research to help me look after my brothers Series 2B FC.

the Series 2A was launched in 1962 just after the standard Series 2A featuring a large pickup body and a 1 1/4 ton payload on or off road. Initially it came with the 2.25 petrol engine and used 75% of a standard 109" Land Rover, including the axles. It did have a modified gearbox to bring the gearing down a bit to compensate for the big tyres such that the overall gearing was similar to the bonneted 109" models. In 1963 export models got the option of the 2.6 litre 6 cylinder engine and a stronger ENV axle became available as an option. These continued until 1966, by which time ENV axles front and rear were standard and the overall gearing had been lowered for better performance when fully laden. The vehicle was redesigned and for 1967 became the Series 2B featuring redesigned rear suspension with the springs mounted further out from the chassis and on top of the axle. The axles themselves were about 4" wider than before, and the front axle gained an anti-roll bar. these changes were designed to dramatically reduce body roll. Home models no longer had the 2.25 petrol engine but now came with either the 2.6 litre 6 cylinder engine or the 2.25 litre diesel. However, export markets still had the old 2.25 petrol engine as an option. There were a number of further changes, including the new updated interior (also found on bonneted models), a revised truck style gear linkage which was much more positive, but it meant it was no longer possible to have a middle seat. These continued with only detail changes until 1973 when the last ones rolled off the line.

Richard Davies ENThe General Post Office had a large fleet of these for both postal use & for phone engineers. The used to buy them in large batches, & the last one was a a fair time after the last of the cars came of the production line.

The post ones were red & the phone ones were originally dark green, & later yellow, this might be an ex-phone dept one.

Citsa ZAWe got the C2 somewhat later (1978 IIRC) in ZA than elsewhere (as was the case with almost all models during the isolation years). Will firm up on my facts - you could, of course, be right that this is an earlier car, would be easier to say if more details were visible. 2007-05-19 22:04
rpcm PTFrom this angle, I would not say if it's a [W114] or a [W115]. As it was listed as a 200, I thought that who posted the pics could have had a glimpse of the rear badge ( now I know it wasn't the case ). 2007-05-17 20:54
drstone CHAs the 200 was added after I posted, I don't know... both W114 and W115 are possible 2007-05-17 18:21

antp wrote It seems that it is the first one on the site... I guess that Alexander will like this one :D

It is the second: /vehicle_86567-Land-Rover-Series-IIb-FC-1966.html
but the first with this rare 'Marshalls of Cambridge' ambulance body.
To be absolutely precise, this one is a Land-Rover 109" Series IIa FC (1962-66), while the other one is a Land-Rover 110" Series IIb FC (1966-72). The chassis was lengthend for the larger 2.6 l six cylinder engine in 1966. The position of the lights, sidelights and indicators differed slightly between the IIa and IIb models.


PS: I just bought this film last Saturday ... but was too slow! :lol:
