edit - dang, no, it wasn't an actual ute, it was just similarly ugly.

There's a picture of the hideous thing there. ;)

It was called the General Lee in the show, and actually it was a 1969 Dodge Charter.

Janey, you have missed the quintessential utility beloved by all Britishers who know their utilities. And most of them do not even know it as a utility.

Yes it is the Land Rover. Most commonly seen with a green canvas cover over it's utility feature.

There are probably many more sites with better illustrations of the marque. I am just too lazy to bother searching.

I post the pix, nobody looks at 'em.

Aussies, help me!

An Aussie "ute" isn't the same as a NA'an pickup truck! It's a sissified version of one. ;)

A UTE is any car or light truck with the rear end cut off and replaced with a flat steel or aluminium tray, or a molded rear compartment open on top of course!
They come in many shapes and sizes - all the Yank "pickup trucks" would qualify as utes.
