The Denning gets most of the spare moments although I am a bit of a petrol head as well and have a hobby vehicle which while officially finished, they are never finished. So a if it is not the Denning it is the car.
Cheers, Alan
Hey Alan,
Wanna give us some details on the hobby car? There are others of us here who are also petrol-heads...
Regards & God bless,

Yes, but most will not be familiar with the make and model of the car because it is an Australian car from the early 1970's, it is a Bolwell Nagari which is a two seater sports coupe. It is powered by a Ford Windsor V8 @ 396 cu.in. Because there is no replacement for displacement! In a car that weighs 1100kgs.
Used to admire one just up the road from me back in the 80's, red one, was running a 351 Cleveland (of which I've had a few).
Is your windsor based on a 351 block or the 302?

Worked on a few of these in a previous life when I had the dyno tuning workshop back in Wollongong. There was also a kit car that used a Holden 6 cyl but I'm not sure if it was a Bolwell maybe Mk5 or one of the other kit makers that were around in the same period when Aust actually produced sports cars. The Mk10 was something special but too far ahead of its time I think and the price tag as always scared a lot of people off.
