Was a Mini ute ever sold? Not that I’ve seen one (recently?) - just wondering if I ever did.

yes they were built, but never sold here, a number have been created here using vans, the real ones had a roof gutter across the back of the cab, most van conversions didn't bother replicating the gutter, so that is a good tell tail of a conversion, of course some real ones have been imported over the years, but they are rare here

Got my wheels reconditioned at Wheel Worx at Richmond. In the show room the owner Joe, has his pretty mint 1969 ZA Fairlane sporting a 460 cuber, FMX and 9 inch. Asked him to tell me about it. Tells me he has owned it for a long time (20+ years i think he said) and got the running gear out of an XB GT, as the 'fairy' was a roller when he purchased it.
Enjoy.. Cheers, One Man

The ED Sprint is a different beast, and has the good parts of the design - attractive, lots of glass area, wide open dash, good ride/handling balance. Then it got the go kart and hot-up treatment... If I saw a mint original ED Classic wagon today, I'd be tempted. You can still get EB and ED XR6 at reasonable money, it's not too late!

The stretched XH - that would have been an ex-ambulance?
In the 90s VS utes were stretched and converted into ambulances, maybe XHs were as well?

Not necessarily a car you don't see anymore, rather a car you don't see living in the country, the Lexus LC500 in boring basic silver. I love these because of the seemingly archaic naturally aspirated 5.0 V8. A BMW M8 would hose this thing all day long in any performance metric, but I know which one would put a smile on my dial every single time.
Can't stand those BMW 4.4 engines.

I heard this coming up the outside lane before I saw it.
We both stopped at the lights and I was able to get a photo of the front.
