FE ute on Ebay with 'tilly' kit

[peterwmh]

Gee, must be rare to see these utes with a 'tilly' kit, looks straight and rust free too, no I don't know the seller, just think it's a rarity!!  The auction number is [ebay]190222038267[/ebay]

She looks like a pretty honest old unit - and would have been quite something in its day.

There were Tilli/Autolux kits manufactured specifically for utes, but the Detroit wasn't one of them. Ute-specific kits seem to be for FB-onwards.

There were Sedan and Wagon versions of the Detroit, and this ute appears to have the latter. If you look at the "larger image" of the side-profile (photo 2), you can just see the join where the back door would have been.

This is also common on FC utes that have had "Special" mouldings applied to them.
