No engine or gearbox and needs lots of welding!

You'd have to be a real Vanguard fan.

Hmm wouldn't have thought finding an engine and box would be too tricky. If the load bay is long enough, things like this can be popular with the classic motorcycle brigade. Don't think I'll be bidding though Smile

Hi
I wonder if that is genuine or a cut about Ensign.
I know wiki isn't always accurate, but it says:-
Quote:
Called a pickup truck in the UK, this version had modest sales there, but the main purchaser was the RAF, who had them in Phase I and II form.

In 1950, the Australian subsidiary of the Standard Motor Company introduced a Coupé utility version of the Vanguard Phase I. It was fitted with the same 2088 cc four cylinder engine as used in the saloon.[20] Utility versions of the Vanguard were produced in Australia over the following years[21] with production ending in 1964.[22]


Can't make up my mind whether they mean that they stuck with the earlier body or they kept up with the car body changes.

There seem to be a few Phase 3 pickups/utes about, I think it's a pukka local-to-NZ (or Oz) build

http://www.google.co.uk/search?um=1&hl=en&biw=1394&bih=816&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=standard+vanguard+phase+3+ute&oq=standard+vanguard+phase+3+ute&gs_l=img.3...61662.63603.0.63691.9.9.0.0.0.0.122.804.8j1.9.0....0...1c.1.26.img..9.0.0.-R813nZKd5s#imgdii=_

In one photo attached to the ebay listing there's a glimpse of another, different, ute parked in front of the Vanguard.

In fact the first of the Standards shown here is broadly similar:
