Restoration of a Phase 3 Utility
The Phase 3 Vanguard was built only
for the Australian market, and though there are a few of them in the
UK, they are re-imports. It is good to hear that they are sought after
in Australia and it is especially good to see one that has been
restored to such a high Standard. Just how well the two tone paintwork
suits this good-looking vehicle can be seen in this excellent series
of photos:

Michael Kubeccek e-mails from
Australia:
Just more info on my ute. I bought it
from a friend, It used to be his fathers ute they used it on their
farm until the mid 70s. They then used it for a shooting ute and also
to drive to the farm gate to get the school bus. ( How many miles from
the front door to the farm gate, I wonder?- Webmaster) It then sat in
the paddock for some time before I acquired it. It took me 3 years on
and off to finish it. I stripped every nut and bolt and took it back
to bare metal. The only work I had done on the ute was the head lining
and the cover, I did the rest. The 1958 phase 3 utes are very
rare to get in Australia as they are all rusted out and beyond repair.
I have sent more photos for you to look at.
Bye
for now, Michael Kubecek.
