WINNER

AUSTRALIA’S #1 UTE LEGEND

We are pleased to announce that we have awarded Mr John Grylls from Pelican Point, WA, the title of “Australia’s #1 Ute Legend”, and consequently forced him to accept the $1000 prize money.

While the full details of John’s “story” will be released in book form later in 2012, some of the attributes which led to his success in our competition include:

His participation in both the 1998 and 2002 attempts at the world record for the greatest number of dogs in Utes (Corrigin, WA).

His construction of an absolutely unique home-made Ute, manufactured by plundering a Wheat Elevator, with the bodywork built from bits and pieces purloined from his old outback dunny. The engine and running gear included a weird range of mechanical devices including a Ronaldson Tippet single pot engine, 4 speed jailbar Ford gearbox and lever clutch, Ford A front axle, Centura steering column and linkages, Kenworth steering wheel, International angle gearbox from a header, XD Ford Ute differential, and a Dingo trap immobilizer.

Congratulations John Grylls !

We must also add our congratulations and thanks to the many other Ute enthusiasts who took the time and trouble to send us their stories and photos….. you ALL typify the true-blue Aussie spirit that makes this great country of ours what it is today. On ya!

Will we run another “Ute Legend” competition? Maybe,,, watch this space.

Once again, thanks to all…..
