Is That A Real One?
Bastardised Rating : 6

I first saw this ute at Blenheim Palace in 1998 and was immediately impressed with the understated look. The standard-looking grey and the colour-coded Minilite wheels and the old-style rear vision mirrors almost make you think that it's just a standard Lowlight on mag wheels.

Take a closer look and you realise that the grey paint is actually metallic. Then you remember that there were no pickup Lowlights ever made. Very subtle.

Under the bonnet is a different matter though. A Ford 1600 crossflow out of an Escort Mexico sits in the middle of a bright yellow engine bay. It's not as pretty as the outside but it does show that the car is used as it was meant to be.
