Datcamino Mystery Solved?

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Oddly enough, our plea for help regarding the origins of the Datcamino did not go unheeded. It's apparently a Datsun/Nissan 1200/1400 Bakkie — aka the Sunny Truck and Datsun Ute — which to people who don't habitually say "Howzit!" means that it's a small pickup sold in South Africa with a design that dates back to the 1970s. Which means that it's not really a Camino at all. Christ. We were double-foiled! [Pictured above is a current-model Bakkie with Fiat-esque square headlamps.]
