This 1994 Mahindra is an excellent car for African roads

[@autochampwandelen]

I like how the instrument cluster is mint whilst the rest of the pickup is beyond beater 😮

[@EnthusiastCarHangar]

That Mahindra has had a rough life.

Did you see the battery wire positive it was spliced with open strands how that thing doesnt catch fire is impressive

This is a dream car in Africa!!!

[@stragulus]

Front window is not cracked. Really splurged on the luxury options there! Other hallmarks of the "African Special": No radiator cap, no air filter (well to be fair this had a piece of cloth, another luxury option).

Even in India, my dad used this vehicle just for normal drive and in his farms. I never knew that this had a very good reliability.

Were there ever long body Mahindra's made with the old Suzuki SJ10/SJ20 front end? Or has this been done afterwards? I know Mahindras are just Suzuki Jimny licenced copies made in India. And usually are the Long body type but never saw them with the old style front end.

[@LordKurian]

Lmao. Mahindra got a license to build Jeeps aka Willy Jeep. And this thing is older than a Suzuki SJ10 Or whatever bullshot you are telling. The license expired and until 2003 they built CJ jeeps then they stopped it and started there version of Jeeps.

[@oneeyedking3013]

Built in India . Tested in Africa. 👌👌💯💯💪💪♥️♥️

[@erebostd]

Thats the reason it so „young“ but looks way worse than the german cars from the 60s and 70s, still driving around. It’s a rust bucket. But as long as it moves it will be used, i guess…

I like channel..but why are all these African cars vandalised inside/interior?? I understand age and wear/tear .. .but they all look like recovered stolen cars that locals vandalised....Am I wrong ? I have old car not look like this interior....Plz let me know. thanks

[@windoak]

they get worn out and theres no money to replace the parts. doesnt help that most cars get overloaded with passengers and cargo and get used way to frequently.

[@MemesAndvids]

Pretty sure that's exactly what happens, would explain why so much is missing on the inside

[@Spockddc]

They just don't care over there. You can fix at least interior parts with some makeshift materials but they used to live like that. It's not poverty per se but it's a state of mind trained by poverty

[@Stormcloakvictory]

Also, most cars are used to transport as much people and goods as possible since that's how they make money. Less interior means more weight for goods or people, means more money per trip. And they're not paid by the hour or kilometer. They're paid per trip as usually trips can last anywhere between 3 days or 4 weeks if the roads get too bad. Plus, they go though such bad roads that they get wet inside. The interior would just soak up all the dirt and water and the car would rust far more and hold the water in bad places. So stripping it is partly the reason there's such old cars with just surface rust. Or rust on parts which don't matter. All the water just drains right out of the cars.

[@TheUnknownLegand]

I didn't know Mahindra's were built in China. The plate on the firewall at 3:17 clearly gives it away. It's possible the VIN has been reassigned though

[@tristan6509]

This is a chinese made bj212 jeep with some type of perkins diesel engine, not a Mahindra. It is closely related to Soviet made UAZ 469, doesn't have anything to do with Mahindra or jeep. The weird thing is that the front grille does not look like a normal bj212 nor a mahindra. It looks like someone took a wrangler grill and cut slats in them. But from the side and rear it definitely is a bj212.

[@ZagyVU]

It’s Baic BJ2030.

[@jo9732]

Some sheet steel and welding could help. And some cheap paint. But hey. You gotta do what you gotta do.
