Have you ever seen a long bed Brumby/Brat? I hadn't heard of them until today, and I think they are only in Europe.

yes , only Europe , reasonably popular in Scandinavian countries I believe .

Yeah have known about these for a long time. Look out of proportion to me.

They were built for the Finland market to dodge some tax I believe. The tax had something to do with the size of the ute's bed/tray.

I'm sure there's an old thread about it on here some where. Do a search and you might find it

I would be I'm on my phone for a quick reply

Cheers

Never heard of them before, as they say: you learn something everyday!

They look very awkward and out of proportion. Looks like a scandinavian bloke's weekend job. Either that or the interns put it together while the design engineer was on leave!

I like this long bed, Targa top beastie with a 6 stud conversion, I found online a couple of years ago.
Wanna get a nudge bar made like it has, one day.

They were longer to comply with the Scandinavian equivalent of ADR - there was a min length to qualify as a commercial vehicle if I remember correctly.

I like them, and it would be useful to have such a long bed. The problem seems to be the huge rear overhang. My wagon drags its rear bumper enough as it is.
That green one looks seriously awesome with that front bumper.
