Subaru’s appealing Brumby ute arrived in Australia in 1984 and immediately began driving its way into the rural heartland. The Subey’s unique coupling of that evocative sounding and torquey horizontally opposed engine with selectable all-wheel-drive made it a handier workhorse for farmers than the traditional Aussie rear-wheel-drive ute. There was also a kind of chic which extended its clientele deep into suburbia. The Brumby remained on the market for a decade and has never been replaced, meaning that demand for well-preserved specimens is high and the vehicle is regarded as an absolute classic and one of a kind.
