dd geez you also using the word bakkie already lol. The word bakkie was used by the old boere -- they would say ''gooi dit agter op die bakkie'' --throw it on the back.The model you should get on the same page you got the bakkie.The two main colours were grey and brown interior.The heritage bakkie that was shown i have never seen here [could be i missed it]The best seller [looks] was the 1400 Champ --known as 'the bakkie that built south africa' cos all gov and small business used the bakkie.I think this is about 2006 ---a model just before the heritage

This one is said to be a 1994. The grille emblem (large NISSAN) differs from the one above which uses the JDM 1990-1994 small NISSAN badge

DD the parts for the 1200/1400 you can buy all over.The square grille you can buy at the chinese auto shops and the chaps like to make it look like a champ bakkie.I just bought 4 door hinges at the chinese shop annd they look and work better than the originals R700.00 or 70.00au$

Must be nice to have such inexpensive parts

Yeah but to us it is still expensive. DD when i see what you are paying for engines and gearboxes i just shake my head.[never]An A15 plus g/box for R4500.00 here [A$ 450] --bargain last week ---only thing is lots of auto parts are stolen,not reg or no papers --so problems when you reg it

OK time for round three

saw this 2008 Champ [the last year of sales] advertised at mycars.co.za

It's model B01 (Champ)

the biggest challenge in identifying the year ... is the large amount of fixing/improving that is done. Fixing wrecked cars with inexpensive newer parts. Improving old cars with the "new look"

Like this bakkie. It looks like the 2008 Champ shown above. However the Junkmail advertisment says it is a 1994. Grille badge removal makes it hard to date, as does removal of NISSAN decal on the tailgate. However there are some visible things

* 1990s style upholstery (brown) and steering wheel
* It has the old 1200-style side indicators. The new smaller type was used starting in 2005 i think
* wing fender decal 'NISSAN 1400' used in the 1980s and 1990s

It's got those Baokang wheels

Here's a nice stock-looking Champ from GumTree SA. Seems the 2000 had new Gray interior but still the old indicators and old graphics

The Champ has extras that do not come on the Standard including:
* Bucket seats (instead of bench)
* Tachometer
* Speedometer with Trip Meter
* Silver spoker wheels instead of white
* Mudflaps front and rear
* Head Rests
* Spot Lights

The canopy looks like a Carryboy Full Door Highroof, and is has NISSAN embossed into the door. As canopies go it is the ultimate
