Austin A70 Hampshire Ute, Left Door by Stephen Mitchell
This old car is a permanent feature amongst the gum-trees on my father-in-law’s top paddock. You can tell how long it’s been sitting there by the branches growing in, around and over its body!

Thanks Jase, great idea.

Its actually a VERY rare A70 HAMPSHIRE ute. SAVE IT!
Hello and thank you Rictopus … I have compared it with photographs I have found of the Hampshire Ute (and have asked my Father-in-Law) … you are quite correct!
Thus, renamed accordingly. Again, Thank you for your information.

Great old car, pity it is so far gone, it would be great to restore
Beyond restoration Larry, and now very unavailable. Property on which this old vehicle resides was sold recently. I will have one more visit later this year when I intend to salvage a lot of chrome parts, hopefully including the steering wheel. Will make great props in other shots!
