The Nissan 1400 pick-up, or Champ, as it was also known, is not only a legendary vehicle in South Africa, but also in the country it originated from, Japan. In fact, it even occasionally appears in the Hot Wheels toy car line-up. Johannesburg's Brannigan Achadinha wanted to bring some of that Japanese car culture to South Africa when he started working on his own take on this iconic little pick-up. And so his little white truck rides on air, so that it can be slammed down real low (so low that the fuel tank had to be moved), has a Datsun 120Y grille, aggressive front lip and flushed bodywork. Inside, it has a pumping audio system (but it's almost invisible to the eye), and you're more likely to notice the stunning carbon-fibre dashboard. Sit back and enjoy Brannigan talking about his pride and joy.
