South Africa's favourite half-ton bakkie for over a decade, built locally and sold until the Chevrolet Utility took over the recipe in 2011. Tradesmen and small businesses ran them to enormous mileages, and the 1.4, 1.8 and 1.7 diesel engines are simple to fix. Clean examples still sell fast and hold their money unusually well for an Opel.
