UTE is an Australian contraction of the word Utility and nothing to do with the model name, all sorts of cars were made as Utes, which appears to be used in the same way as "Pickup" in US and UK. -- Last edit: 2008-10-23 14:06:50

The Station Coupe had an extended cab enabling two more (small!) people to be seated behind. Station Coupe agrees with the picture here... http://www.siddeley.com/gallery_cars_08.html
