Some of them (like the scamps) are awful IMO but some are rather nice :D

[quote="poeee"][quote="Braveheartjunky"]What was the name of the Australian kit cars in the 70's with the Holden engines ? Bowell or Bollwell or something ?[/quote]

Bolwell[/quote]
That was it. I know of a guy who has one on the Central Coast, had a holden 308 in it from memory. Unreal power to weight ratio and they are worth a few dollars now. Looks a bit similar.

Bolwell was the company name , several model's , Nagari comes to mind as well as a mk4 , can't remember much except they were sort of generic sports car style , flowing curves and fast .
