P76 Owners Club 2004 -

The car that caught my eye more was the X6 ute that was also doing time inside the factory.

: I had seen the Ute during 1977 or '78. It was used at the facility on Heathcote Rd (Spare parts store, experimental engineering and eventtually where they built Land Rovers) as a general run around.
: For a few days I was sent out there with a few other apprentices to prepare/move cars they
: were transporting out, mostly Dolomite Sprints.
: We used the X6 ute to carry fuel, batteries/jumper leads and tools around the yard to get the long stored cars going.
: It was already pretty rough then.
: In the couple of years before that, a friend of my fathers used to drive it everyday in his job delivering parts from Heathcote Rd around the dealerships in Sydney. I remember he smashed the front at one stage.
: He's no longer around to ask.

: I've often thought about building one, it wouldn't be too difficult.
: Take one X6 and one MK2 1800 ute and do a Cut and Shut through the front
: pillars/floor at an appropriate join.
