The Making of the Mamba …
Arrival at Thanda Safari
THE GREEN MAMBA 1 was built by Garry Coady, Durban, South Africa.
In the first half of 2017 Garry converted a standard Land Rover Defender TD5 130 into this very special safari vehicle. Christian is very grateful for the excellent work done, especially for reacting positively to all his ideas, as they ‘popped up’ while the conversion work was on its way. Special thanks to Marian for being so patient and to Fred and Sheldon for all their help.
Idea and design: Christian Sperka
Conversion and solutions: Garry Coady
