BOLWELL, Melbourne, Australia, 1963-1974


In 1963, the BOLWELL brothers, one of whom had previously worked in the English "Lotus", founded a small company near Melbourne and began manufacturing sports cars with fiberglass bodies. A few years later, the company gained strength and in 1970 launched the original Nagari sports car.
It installed a V-shaped 8-cylinder 5-liter Ford engine with a working volume of 5 liters. The base was a central beam with cross members, as on Lotus cars. The elegant coupe body resembled a Ferrari. Other units and parts were borrowed from various cars produced by the American concern "General Motors" in Australia.
The brothers were counting on the delivery of this model to the United States, but strict standards on exhaust toxicity and passive safety forced them to abandon this idea.
