Re: '64 Opel Rekord Bakkie
The Opel Rekord bakkie (Olympia) was very popular! My Aunt Jessy had one in Adelaide! She was very strong! I recall her off-loading a Sack of Maize from the bakkie and placing it onto Farmhouse Stoep!! The "B" bakkie is very special as only a few were built! (I suspect only about 50!)
The "P" and "A" bodies were more! That is one very special "Opel"

Imagine trying to find one of those tail lights if a taxi gets a bit "pushy" on the road!

The bakkie and the Wagon used the same rear lights! Take a note of the Instrument Gauge difference between the production models and my product engineering Rekord" 110MPH & 130MPHCan-Am ZN wrote:Imagine trying to find one of those tail lights if a taxi gets a bit "pushy" on the road!

Re: '64 Opel Rekord Bakkie
As Johan says, EXTREMELY rare. It is a 1966, not 1964.

Never ever seen a picture of one of those before, would be quite cool to take a picture with it next to a Corsa utility.

Started abt Oct 1965 and discontinued (Last Sold?) August 1966 Could even be less than 50 units!!!zahistorics wrote:As Johan says, EXTREMELY rare. It is a 1966, not 1964.
I saw very few on the line! The Vauxhalls were in the Majority! The Viva and Cresta
Holden started about that time Chevy's on their final years P.S.! I towed a Diesel Toyota to get it started with my Rekord! No problem!!

Re: '64 Opel Rekord Bakkie
Awesome find. Truly a must-have for the Opel collector.
Re: '64 Opel Rekord Bakkie
A mate of mine had one when we where at Tech. in Bulawayo in 1974.
It was used on weekends when we went Pub crawling as it was slow and if we hit something nothing would happen to us.
It was built like a tank.
