First-generation Ford Bantam (facelift) The first-generation Bantam was introduced in South Africa in 1983. It was intended to compete for market share that was, at the time, almost entirely monopolised by Nissan's B140 1400 Bakkie (which had been derived from the B110 sedan), with the remainder accounted for by the recently released Volkswagen Caddy.
After the prototype, Bantam produced 70 pre-series vehicles, designated as Bantam Model 60 or Mk II, [2] also known in literature as BRC-60. [1] The main visual difference was the replacement of rounded stamped fenders from the Bantam passenger car with fenders made from right-angled sheet metal panels and wider entry cutouts on the sides.

The N2 then turns to the north at the Oribi Toll Plaza to become the South Coast Highway (taking over from the R61), first running as a dual carriageway freeway for 4 km (2.5 mi), then losing dual carriageway status after the Umtentweni off-ramp (where it ceases to be a toll road), before regaining dual carriageway status just after Hibberdene.
