Citsa ◊ 2011-07-19 21:19	I did consider the possibility that this is a B120 Series Sunny truck, as was available in many locations, that was "facelifted" with a grille from the ZA B140 1400 "Bakkie". This one has the low roof, as opposed to the higher roof and longer cab of the 1400 Bakkie by the time it got the grille and lights in the picture. Agree therefore that it should then probably not labeled a 1400 "bakkie" but rather a B120 Sunny Truck.
