Where can I find a Ford Bantam or Mazda Rustler Bakkie to download for Need For Speed High Stakes?

Bantam was a kit car, not Ford... and as for that mazda...

OZ · 11-23-2003

my bet is that noone ever made they... I've never heard of such cars...

Fox McIntyre · 11-23-2003

there was an Austin Bantam...

And a BSA bantam...

but the kit car was Banham

The Ford bantam & Mazda Rustler's do exist here in South Africa. If they are not available in the NFS Community, I will most likely make the 2002 model Ford Bantam Bakkie my next project & scratch build the body.

Here is a pic of the 2003 Ford Bantam XLE, but I prefer the 2002 model as shown above & will base my next project on that model.

DeRCT13 · 11-26-2003

I like the 2002 model, I don't like the new edge design

FCDesigns2002 · 11-26-2003

I'm originally from Zimbabwe, and there is such a thing as a Mazda Rustler. I learnt to drive in one.
@kingbacoza - Where about in SA are you?
What about a Mazda B1600 later on? Or a Hilux 2.4D?
Bringing back some good memories lol. Good luck with making them.

Those Bantams were good weren't they

Never drove one myself, but had a few mates did. FCD, the B16's were too fun too

Altho i liked our B25 single cab, and double cabs more :super:

*recollects memories*

@kingbacoza - i dont think ive ever seen one thats available to download, i dont think its been made...

kingbacoza · 11-27-2003

@ FCDesigns2002: Durban, South Africa
@ DJC: I can't find one to download either. Arman has a Ford Escort XR3i on the ND4SPDWorld website for NFS4hs. This has the same front end as the 2002 Ford Bantam so could possibly be used as a base, but all my cars thus far have been from bits & pieces of other cars, so I've decided that I will make an attempt to make a scratch body and then see where that takes me...
Attached a pic of a Ford Bantam from Durban South Africa. I think the driver is a member of Team Poison (www.teampoison.co.za) but I don't think the car can be found on the site.

Looks like it would make a pretty cool car to build (I can say for sure that there are none of those models in the NFS3 section). I've always wanted an old Chevy el Camino so, having this car would be a nice trad-off

kingbacoza · 11-27-2003

The following are pics of the Mazda Rustler. As can be seen, there is visually no difference between the Ford Bantam & Mazda Rustler bakkies. The bakkie on the left is from Johannesburg in South Africa and has a 2.0L 16V EGI motor with a Turbo. It can be seen for sale on the www.autotrader.co.za website. This site has many pics of the Ford Bantam & Mazda Rustler Bakkies. I don't seem to be able to find decent side, front & back pics of a 2002 model anywhere on the NET for my CAR00.TGA file so I'll have to take the photographs myself.

kingbacoza · 11-28-2003

I started building the Ford Bantam Bakkie for NFS4HS 2003/11/28. I've almost completed the Driver's door (88 Polys & 77 Vertices). I've attached pics of the work I've done so far.

OZ · 11-28-2003

duh! :faint: Now that i looked on the 2002 version, I know the world name of this car, It's a small truck based on the ford fiesta, it's name on most of the world is Ford Courier :super:

suterb · 11-28-2003

We used to have Ford Couriers over here in the States in the '70s. Here's a pic of one:

kingbacoza · 11-30-2003

@ Organic Zero & Suterb: We also have the Ford Courier bakkies in South Africa. These are bigger than the Ford Bantam & more of a commercial type vehicle whereas the Ford Bantam is basically the same size as a sedan. When they were originally introduced, they would have had specs identical to the Ford Escort XR3 as they are basically a Ford Escort front end with a rear Bakkie Section. In South Africa the Ford Bantam's are very popular when it comes to modifications (body kits & performance) whereas it is almost unheard of finding someone modifying a Ford Courier. NB: Future updates on the Ford Bantam that I am building will be done via the Editing Forum.
