where are these originated from????

chances of getting 1?????????????

where do i look/find 1?????

 

I think they are from australia??

 

South african variants IIRC.

 

south africa. My mates got the one in that photo now, getting done very soon.

 

south Africa, I used to own a blue one

 

I knew it started with an A lol
my mate used to own the one pictured

 

Theres a fiesta one too, and fiestas with saloon boots.
The foreigners get all the cool stuff.

It'd be easy to convert a cabby though, as they already have the tough sills.

 

that s my pick up

 

love it !

 

more pics

 

Great looking pickup

 

Ive got a few pics of them on photobucket but the bloody site is playing up so i cant post them.

 

There was a MK4 escort type one of these pick ups, for sale in a car yard not far from me a couple of months ago, was going to go and check it out. In OZ. think they come from South Africa. Defo not from OZ.

Thats my next project! I'm having that........LS1 powered bantam here we come!

 

have you forgotten about this project posted in 2009, the white one is about 6+ photo's down from the top, then it moves on to a red one getting shipped here, it's amazing what a set of wheels can do

There's a feature on one in the next issue of Fast Ford!

 

]To Passionate Ford Enthusiasts

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

lol no dude they're south African...born n bred

 

lol no dude they're south african.....FBOC

 

I have a mk1 (mk3 escort shape) collecting parts for it maybe finished this year I hope😳

 

They call them Backies in SA, don't they?

 

Yes they are called "bakkies" in South Africa
The Aussies would call it a "ute"
A few pix of mine

 

I have one in at the moment for a ZT conversion amongst other things, going to be lovely when it's done

Yes I totally agree it looks awesome so far,love the quilted bench seat does that mean it's got the handbrake located as a pull out on the dash board ???
Really great to see another on the up
I hope its owner is ready for the attention it will bring him/her

 

That blue mk3 does it for me

 

It's got matching door cards and a nice flocked dash to go in too!
There's more pics on my Facebook page if you want to take a peek... https://en-gb.facebook.com/pg/Frenzy...=page_internal
It has indeed got the pull out handbrake
Will be a real head turner for sure when it's finished, should also have around 300bhp to play with too.

 

i shipped one in once and sold it on, don't know what ever happened to it, might even be the blue one, it was definitely a mk3 escort shape, here's a pic of it as it was when i shipped it in.

 

These are proper cool pick ups. That blue one looks well. Have you blended the S1 bodykit/arches into the wings????

 

I didn't personally do it (bodywork is not my area) but I think it's just that they fit well and were painted on the car as it was painted so looks very smooth.
I'll have a closer inspection when I'm in, it's mostly sat under a car cover whilst I build the engine etc. at the moment.

 

I wish i was good at bodywork and painting.

 

I do mate, I have a spray shop two unit's along from me which is handy, but it would be great to be able to do it myself!
