I think it's a 1700, but will need confirmation... btw should the origin be South Africa or Germany, built in ZA? |

Not Belgium origin? and built in ZA |

This one is listed as orign ZA: /vehicle_138928-Ranger-SS-1971.html as also filmed there. The others as origin Belgium, except one "orign Belgium, built in Switzerland" /vehicles_make-Ranger.html (all scenes from Europe) -- Last edit: 2011-02-23 14:13:29 |

This looks Rekord [E] based - all the others are Rekord [D]. |
◊ 2011-02-23 14:19 |
Sorry dsl, but "Rekord D based - all the others are Rekord C" would be correct |
◊ 2011-02-23 14:22 |
OK - I knew the Alert Police would be watching ..... |

P.S. Somewhere here we have such a Rekord D-based car, also with double round front lamps and also built in ZA, listed as a Chevrolet! |

So, what do you expect? Here, on a romping ground for eccentrics, nitpickers and smart alecks? P.S. How great, not to be alone with these pecularities P.S.II The sentence above is a quotation of my wife. She says something like that, when I try to explain her, what are the real important aspects of our discussions (notabene: the on topic-discussions). |

In South Africa Rangers were only Rekord C based cars. The Rekord D version was marketed as a Chevrolet Commando (or Constantia ?) |

Though hardly thinking, I cannot remember its name, but I'm 100% sure, that we have one here, definetely a South African made Rekord D-based derivate, named Chevrolet. And it had a big engine, over 3 liters, and in the movie it was smashed by a tank. Unfortunately I cannot remember the movie-name, I think, it was filmed in ZA, but set in annother African country. |

@electra225: No, the Kommando and Constantia were Holden-based models. @ingo: is this the one you're talking about?: /vehicle_185959-Chevrolet-3800.html |
