504GL

Very interesting.
 
The biased 504 lover in me can't help but think "Why?" though. I understand the premise of it. But there are plenty of really good cars for the conditions in Africa. 504's and 70's Merc's to name a few. Having spent some time in South Africa I can safely say that black people aren't thick and are very resourceful in keeping cars going and they don't need cars to be made out of wood to maintain and repair them

Your point is taken. But I think there's a good reason that it didn't take off, Africa has done quite well with the vehicles which it's had. Plus they've been able to manufacture 504's in Nigeria and Kenya for ages and only stopped around 4-5 years ago. In South Africa they manufacture BMW's for export, so they can build cars to a good standard As silly as it sounds I think this is a bit of a white mans solution to a problem which black Africa didn't ask for a solution to. So if people can get cheap cars how are they meant to pay for the petrol and other running costs which come with owning a car?
 
Interesting nonetheless
