  • The Ford Bantam is a "bakkie" (pickup truck or "ute") sold by the Ford Motor Company in South Africa. It is based on the Ford Fiesta, and is a South African design as well as being produced in South Africa for the local market. The original Ford Bantam (1) launched in 1983 was based on the Ford Escort Mk III. It was produced in the Ford plant in Port Elizabeth and later in the Samcor plant in Pretoria when Ford divested from South Africa. Bantam 1 was replaced by the Bantam 2, with a Mazda 323 6th generation-based Ford Laser front end, and was also branded Mazda Rustler. The Bantam 3 was launched in 2002, using the Ford Fiesta Mark V (Code named BE91) front end, but still with the Bantam 1 loadbox and basic rear suspension. It is produced in the same plant in Pretoria (Now belonging to Ford again). Engines were 1.3L 8V and 1.6L 8V SOHC Rocam petrol engines and a 1.8L idi normally aspirated Diesel engine. The Bantam 3 shares only the front end with the Brazilian Ford Courier, with totally different rear ends. In 2006, the Bantam 3 benefited from a mild front end and interior face lift. The 1.8L idi Diesel engine was dropped from the line up. The Bantam is sold successfully as a compact rugged commercial vehicle as well as a leisure oriented privately owned vehicle.

  • Ford Bantam (русск. Форд Бэ́нтэм) — пикап, продаваемый компанией Форд в Южной Африке. За основу была взята модель Ford Fiesta. Ford Bantam первого поколния начал выпускаться в 1983 году, будучи основан на Ford Escort Mk III. Bantam 2, пришедший ему на смену, уже был связан с моделями Mazda 323, 6-го поколения Ford Laser, и был известен ещё как Mazda Rustler. Bantam 3 был запущен на конвейер в 2002 году, используя передок от Ford Fiesta V Mark (кодовое имя BE91), но все ещё оставаясь на той же задней подвеске и кузовом от Bantam 1. Выпускался на заводе в Претории. Используемые двигатели: 1,3-литровые 8V и 1,6-литровые 8V SOHC Rocam бензиновые двигатели, а также 1,8-литровый дизельный. Bantam 3 имеет такой же перед как и бразильский Ford Courier, с отличающимися кузовами. В 2006, из линейки вышли дизельные двигатели. Автомобиль успешно продавался, как компактный грузовичок, вполне оставаясь удобным повседневным автомобилем.
