~1990–1994
It had been restored before I bought it, which was either a selling point or a warning sign depending on your perspective. It had a Chevy 6 engine swapped in, which was probably the worst part of it. Everything else worked as expected for a 25-year-old British truck.
I named it Kung San after the native tribespeople of the Kalahari, which is also the name from The Gods Must Be Crazy — the film where the Kalahari bushmen find a Coke bottle and consider it a gift from the gods, and the Land Rover called “The Antichrist.” The timing was right; the film had just come out. It seemed like an appropriate homage.
It appeared in a Four Wheeler Magazine article. I have a framed copy.
I had the Amigo at the same time. That’s not unusual — having two vehicles that both run and both make sense for different purposes is not hoarding, it’s preparation.
