Spotted, Gen F ute, Silverstone..

Friend snapped this today - looks ace! Is this a ute or maloo?

[ARAF]

That's a Maloo. The Ute is Holden, rather than HSV, and doesn't usually wear skirts.

I guess the HSV badge should've been a giveaway too!

No it was one we brought in for a customer
WPP dont bring them in anymore except Cars for Walkinshaw family

[badboyburt]

Could of been the one I seen at Walks waiting for a MPH binnacle back in October last year.

That was the first Gen F Maloo brought in by VX. Ringram has the second in Karma (Blue) and mine is the third, shortly to be delivered........... I hope.

Considering there was a chance of it being at MyM8V8's meet at the start of the month, my guess is that he's sick of waiting.

A ute – an abbreviation for "utility" or "coupé utility" – is a term used originally in Australia and New Zealand to describe usually two-wheel-drive, traditionally passenger vehicles with a cargo tray in the rear integrated with the passenger body; as opposed to a pickup whose cargo tray is not integrated with the passenger body. In South Africa the term "bakkie" is generally used, although General Motors in that country now sells the Australian Holden in small numbers there and calls it a ute, while a small front-wheel drive Chevrolet pickup sourced from Brazil and sold in South Africa is called a utility. However, only General Motors uses this terminology.

The true Holden ute I would have thought would be an FX since Holden started building them in 1948, and if I need a definition I'll go look for one. fking R8 indeed !
