The correct name for this car according to Sedgwick and Gillies A to Z of Cars 1945 to 1970 is the Armstrong Siddeley Whitley Sports Station Coupe produced between 1950 and 1953. 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 |

Body by McDonald of Sydney I guess. www.siddeley.com lists two models The Utility Coupe was of conventional lay out with a front seat. 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 |

I think you will find this is a utility coupe. Here are some pics of a station coupe taken at a Sydney Classic Car show in August. The back of the cab appers much longer than the one here. There are actually two parked together here.![[Image: easterncreek2008026wz4.3116.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is366/easterncreek2008026wz4.3116.jpg) ![[Image: easterncreek2008027kt1.1203.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is366/easterncreek2008027kt1.1203.jpg) |

Agree Utility Coupe. Entirely UK built. This photo apparently a 1952 taken in Western Australia about 1975-76, seen here; rear view here - probably same car in 2009. To confirm valiant1962's info, this is a short door Utility Coupe with a single row of seats (717 made, 1949-52). There was a parallel Station Coupe (1022 made, also 1949-52) with a second set of seats - more like a 2+2 bench than proper seating - which meant a slightly longer cabin, longer doors to give the rear access, and a shorter load bed. Comparison photos here - www.armstrongsiddeleyheritagetrust.com/new-ute . Both versions were sold in UK and elsewhere, so they were not exclusive to Australia although that was the main market, taking 60% of production. |
