Harry P. Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Remember... do not post hints or answers here! PM me with specific year, make and model. This week's car comes from forum member Ken Stone: The answer: 1970-74 Bolwell Nagari Mk VIII
Nitro Neil Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Finally, a pretty one. You've had some real dogs lately. Don't know what it is, but it's certainly good looking.
DonW Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Yes it's beautiful - it looks Italian but it's right hand drive, or is the image reversed?! This one is really making me think.
dimaxion Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I don't know once again . I do try to find pics . I just am not able to find these . I believe I have a Car Guy Unfriendly Mis'uer 'Puter . I still like these Harry . Please keep them coming . Thanx ..
PappyD340 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Well it looks like a __________ but it probably isn't, going to Google now!!
DonW Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Ha! PM sent, my life is complete, I thought I'd never get it. Thanks Ken, good one.
62rebel Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 my guess? wheeled sex. that is a beautiful car. trying to "spot the parts bin donors" for a clue to the builder..... not working for me.
Harry P. Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 I don't know once again . I do try to find pics . I just am not able to find these . I believe I have a Car Guy Unfriendly Mis'uer 'Puter . I still like these Harry . Please keep them coming . Thanx .. Keep trying! Think of it this way... even if you can't find the answer, just by searching for the answer you'll probably learn something!
Harry P. Posted November 1, 2013 Author Posted November 1, 2013 This week's car is a Bolwell Nagari Mk VIII, made between 1970-74. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolwell_Nagari Who got it right: Chris R MikeMc wisdonm trogdor Foxer Frank maltsr DonW badluck13 kennb
otherunicorn Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Ten correct answers. Not bad! I've been lucky enough to see one of these in the wild. I also knew Winston Bolwell when I was a child.
DonW Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Was it as good as it looked? I gather he sold a few, are there any left?
otherunicorn Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 It's easy enough to find them with a google search. A majority of them have survived, as far as I know. Approx 100 of the coupe were built. http://www.bolwellcarclub.com.au/models_mk8.html
DonW Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 The wheels had really thrown me, thanks for the link. I now know that Boswell made them himself to copy the Lambo design. He had square holes, Feruccio had triangles. Maybe that's where the strength came from...... Boswell makes me think of Roswell, who remembers that?
sjordan2 Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Looks like a nicely done combo of Italy's Greatest Hits -- Ferrari front half, Maserati Khamsin/etc. razor edges, Alfa Montreal louvers, DeTomaso wheels, Michelotti design for cars like Iso Grifo, Lambo Miura windows, quite a few.
