G'day All, The roof on the 109 is most likely an Athol Hedges roof, cheers Dennis:wasntme:

Yes,it is a Hedges Hardtop, made in Brisbane, don't know when manufacture started or finished, but we never fitted one at Leyland Truck & Bus after we assumed distribution in July 1973. Surprised to see it is (apparently) not almost totally rusty. They usually were.

The series two ute looks to be in good nick and well worth restoring. Pity its not a lot closer.

That's a great find.

Glad I'm not the only one who experiences this! They just don't understand :wallbash:

Saw this strange beast in Seymour at the weekend. It caught my eye becuase of the strange roof and light configuration. From a distance I thought it was probably an Santana, or one of those russian varients - but it looks like a 3 ute with a "different" roof, and hacked lights front and back. And an older grille from an earlier series maybe - it's all a bit odd. Inside - the seats a missing and there are bits of transmission sitting in the passenger area. The roof is very unusual - and the rear side windows are dark tinted.

I think that this may be the one spotted by Easo about a year back (in the first post of this tread) but his photos are no longer available so I can't check.

It's located directly opposite the Maccas (I feel sick just thinking about Maccas!) in Seymour. It's out front of a old servo. No indication that it is for sale, or who owns it.

I have no interest in owning such a thing - but was wondering why someone would hack the lights like that - or have I get my identification all wrong ?

I'd say it's a series 2 with headlights added to the outside of the guards myself. that is an athol hedges hard top, they seem to be appearing everywhere!
