In 1960, Opel engineered and designed this Bakkie with the South African roads of that era in mind. It was purpose-built to carry a half-ton payload with ease and efficiency. Dubbed “The last word in light delivery efficiency,” this vehicle has evolved into a classic collectible over the course of 63 years. While the definition of light delivery has shifted over time, this Pick-up remains a beloved icon. And don’t worry, we’re not suggesting you shouldn’t drive it. After all, what’s the fun in owning a classic if you can’t proudly display it on the road?
Beneath the hood, this Bakkie boasts a 1.7-liter inline engine paired with a manual gearbox. Meticulously restored, its exterior and interior are adorned in a charming Baby Blue and White color scheme that evokes the classic look of Opel in the 1960s. The best part? You can effortlessly accommodate your entire family, allowing them to ride “vintage-style” in the back. This Bakkie sparks a wave of nostalgia, and we hope you’ll have the chance to share its timeless appeal with your family, creating new stories while reminiscing about the past.
