That it is my friend!

Pretty common thing to do in the US :( The brumby was still in production at this stage so there was no need to produce an L series ute as such. If they did I'm sure this is what it would have looked like...

Seen another one of these in orange, sadly it is the 2 door with the roof and rear hatch cut out.

Looks good but a waste of a harder to come by variant of the "L"

It's a US vehicle so not so much a waste to them as they're much more common than they are over here.

I would love to have one of these coupes though :twisted:

Had a large array of L series wag's as paddock bashers until one day this occurred and set a large portion of our paddock into a roaring fire..

^ Holy crap! That's an intense fire!

How did it start - grass caught up on the hot exhaust?

Anyone else notice the wooden post next to the car is still standing, though scorched, and the car is totally munted.

When I was younger some friends had 1000 acres of land near Colac. My paddock basher was a Mazda Capella. I also had a Sigma wagon. The Capella lasted a lot longer!

She's got one of these restored as her daily drive...
