There was a Turkish derivative of the Fiat 131 license-made in Ethiopia, but that one had body panels from the Fiat Regatta over the 131 floorpan. The 504 lasted until 2005 in Nigeria.

Yep, The Hilux - Interesting its not a Land Rover any more, and hasn't been a Jeep since WW2
Land Rovers got too sophisticated, Jeeps too at a certain degree, while Toyota still makes some lower-grade versions of the Hilux. Even the ancient 5L-E engine is still available for the Hilux, the Fortuner and the LC Prado in some African countries.
