British car - van - busses watch in Tanzania
Just been on hols to Tanzania and kept my eyes open for any British vehicles on the roads. Listed what i saw below:
Land rovers - handful on roads here but it's mainly Japanese off roaders.
Leyland bus - painted up in military colours. Looked old but well maintained.
Jaguar - single jag XE looked pretty new.
LDV vans - masses of them in use in Zanzibar. You don't see them on the mainland but for whatever reason Zanzibar is stacked full of them. It's hot and some of the roads are rough but they are thriving here.
I also found a Gec marine engine made in Glasgow painted up and on display in a car park near a slipway.
Not sure how to upload pics but as to why there are so many LDV's in Zanzibar does anyone know?
Cheers Jim
