I thought it was in Tas too Don. It has moved around alot, as you said.

This would be such a hit in Papua New Guniea. You could loose a Datsun down a pothole there.....at least this one could climb out.

The last time this was brought up it got quite a grilling from this club. I quite like it and I'd love to own it.

this would be the only way you'd get me to own a 1200 ute ... all fun and practicality rolled into one !!

i think he only wanted like 4-5grand for it when it was on ebay

Not absolutely sure about practicality.

I remember either the front or rear wheel arch was slightly before the wheel so if you actually did hit the road hard there could be some damage (maybe it was another car similar).

Nevertheless I would definitely try this out, given the opportunity.

This still kept the A12 didn't it?

there was one for sale not long ago up here, i think it was a red or blue one with a supercharged ca18 in it coupled to an automatic.

yeah your right chris, the ebay one in tassie had a prooblem with the chassis being too long and the rear wheel was not centred in realtion to the wheel arch

I love it. Not as practical as a stock ute, but very interesting.

hope its got a roll cage

It's coming up for sale soon & if the buyer asks nicely, I suspect that a roll bar could be supplied as an optional extra.
These utes are very nicely built & I'm glad that I could showcase them for him.

personally i'd prefer to see the chassis a lot closer to the body, even if it meant cutting out the gaurds a fair bit to make the wheels fit...

but thats just me. The thought has crossed my mind before, interesting to see it actually happening.

Hi what chassis is that? how is it attached to it?

Looks good!!!

was just wondering about the chasis myself , old bronco, samari ?

Looks like it 'could', go anywhere it wanted, except in society.
