I think it stands for Sports Pack?

And I believe it's pronounced Seth Efrican.

Gotta love those Springbok Beetles. See the two giveaways? The little white reflectors on the front guards near the headlights. And the main one - Superbug 'elephant's foot' tail lights on early rear guards - with a factory inbetween housing to make them fit!

They are a very robust car made with extra heavy duty parts .eg the front axels are alot thicker than aussie dubs. I owned a 1975 one and it had a king and link pin front ,swing axel rear . here is a pic for you
