L31 WB Ute

[wbute]

Despite some body issues, you must be tempted WB? Out of interest on the thin tag the "L" where I'd expect the engine code on HQ-Z tags to be 202, did the position or code change for WB?

Yeah not sure on that thin tag.
Not tempted really. I thought I would be, but Malachite? It looks like an army staff car.

308 in a WB had WT as the engine prefix so "L" would be incorrect as the 308 identifier and like you said it points to a High Compression 202 it should be a "T".
But there is no disputing the L31 on the other tag.

Just adding that WT only in commercials, 11WT in Statesman which obviously is as common as.

haha not the colour I would pick today. New they all looked very good.

You hear a lot about 308 WB utes someone has seen. Where there 308 ambo tonners?

No panelvans have showed up I'm guessing.

Mauser.

Yeah I have heard of a couple of one tonners but no vans. It makes me wonder now if the urban myth that they did a run of L31 utes at the end of production (like LE two doors) might have actually happened. Supposedly a select few dealers got one.

Talking to Byron, he has three sets of WB tags with L31 and a broadcast sheet for one. So they built a few.

Pretty sure I've mentioned my old boss when I was an apprentice bought a 308 4sp WB ute in 1984, white with blue interior.... guess nobody believed me either.
