Rosslyn, South Africa (December 2013) – Celebratory Limited Edition versions of the ‘tough-as-nails’ Nissan NP300 Hardbody 1-ton bakkie are due to enter the market towards the beginning of December 2013 in South Africa. The special versions commemorate 25 years of continuous sales of the iconic ‘Hardbody’ name.
Built locally at Nissan South Africa’s Rosslyn manufacturing plant in Pretoria, the ‘Hardbody’ badge was applied to NP300 to engage with the agricultural, construction, mining and SMME sectors within South Africa as well as across borders.
NP300 Hardbody Product Manager at Nissan South Africa, Vishaan Naidoo says the new Limited Editions in the NP300 Hardbody range are an expression of the proud heritage and proven capability which the nameplate has in the country. “In keeping with the NP300 Hardbody’s reputation for reliability, durability and most importantly its attractive cost of ownership, we have created the “Silver Anniversary” Limited Edition models which feature a host of functional additions and unique touches, while retaining a very attractive price.”
“For 25 years the Nissan NP300 Hardbody 1-ton pickup has been a significant part of the South African motoring landscape, so it is only fitting that we celebrate this important milestone appropriately.”
Available in single or double cab body styles, the Nissan NP300 Hardbody Silver Anniversary Limited Editions each feature unique accessories and special features to set them apart from the rest of the range, as well as the tried-and-trusted 2.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine and 4x2 drive trains.
The new Nissan NP300 Hardbody 2.5 TDi Silver Anniversary Limited Edition Single Cab derivative includes over R15 000 worth of accessories and detail changes, including “Silver” Anniversary branded leather seats, rubberized load box, black nudge bar, black running boards, leather door panels, “Silver Anniversary” branded carpet set and tinted windows.

Both special edition models continue the strong reputation for long-lasting reliability and come as standard, along with the rest of the NP300 Hardbody range, witha class leading 6-year/150 000 km warranty.
