Gotcha! It is in eswatini now, has been registered here for years, came from Zim before that.

Sorry Blackburn, but I'm not in South Africa, I am in Eswatini (previously Swaziland). The wagon has never been registered in SA, which is another odd thing to the story!

It had this horrific roof on it, but its off now...

Here it is!

I will try and get ut to it in the morning when it's light! The whole wagon is super standard, nothing outrageous.

The same...That's the number that is on it throughout, at least all I can find!

Anyone seen any Rhodesian military ones, or their numbers? I thought M designations were special orders, but I can't remember where I read that. Looking at CKD kits it seems like their numbers are different.

Found it!

Thanks mate, got a link for that thread, or a name?

Also, it has a full bench in the front and all dials are in Km...I am not sure if the single bench is unusual but I have not really seen that before.

The engine says the same, and the paperwork from when it was registered from Zim to Swaziland says it is from 1980...just seen that now!

Ha, no idea! It seems like early 70's... Was a 'knockdown' just a series of parts sent and then reassembled from leftover parts?

Hmmm, that is very interesting. I was under the impression it was a Rhodesian landy. Any idea on where I can go to check the knockdown theory?

It is on the normal plate above the gears, and it's on the chassis in the normal place...

Hey everyone, I have got a Siii 109 which seems to have come from Zim, back when it was Rhodesia. It has factory fitted overdrive, extra fuel tanks, galv chassis and the serial number is giving me some trouble. It is M106/3282. I think it was probably a special order military/security vehicle...
