Wow thank u UK people for taking such good care of the Bantams that managed to end up there. Some of these might've been mine before, who knows?
In South Africa thesen were the mk1 & mk2 & we have just ended the mk6 version here. Because they're old, South Africans dont appreciate them much & they end up as farmworkers or the last choice of building contractors when they have their new shiny pick up's serviced. Most of them get sold to us FBOC because we are the authority on the Ford Bantam. We have about 1000 of them stored in various garages around the country. If anybody is interested in getting their hands on them, well probably contact us or better yet, contact Passion Ford to contact us for fear that they may not allow this reply to be seen, as it seems to sound like a sales thing. I promise u its not! South Africa is just not very good at appreciating good classics, & because i , Lloyd Oliver, the founder of FBOC, have always loved the old mk1 & mk2 Bantam, i would love to have them placed in the hands of enthusiasts again. I follow everything u UK folks do with the old Fords, via the various magazines like Passion Ford. I'm an avid enthusiast concerning UK Ford Lovers. So yep if anyone wants one just ask Passion Ford to organize it with us.

Yours Faithfully
