The South Africans have a history of creating utes out of models that aren't available any where else in the world.

From memory, they did a ute version of the Cortina years back.

I think the little Bantam would look nice dressed up with some nice detailing, dropped suspension and a decent set of wheels.

By the way, I think the Tail Lights have been "BORROWED (tm)" from a Courier.

Barina utes exist in some markets....please no-one say they want it, because you know the market researchers will be listening! WE DONT WANT IT HERE!!! Now somebody please change the Australian Design Rules so that we cannot accept Smart vehicles here!
