Were these like the Bolwell kit cars built around an early Holden? I worked on a few of those, the Nagari I worked on was a well worked 4V 351 Cleveland, breathtakingly fast and glued to the road

Terry these were sold as drive away cars, bill buckle was the builder only 20 built, had a ford zephyr motor zephyr 3 speed gear box and zephyr diff,
A very quick car in the late 1950s early 60s.

The Ford Zephyr was quite an amazing vehicle really, turn the sound up or put the head phones on and listen to this one at last yrs Targa Tasmaniahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdTXsMvcIs0
I wonder why only 20 were built, maybe he just lost interest but there would have been a lot of work involved building that body.

I think I can remember them being built in Auburn / Silverwater area NSW when I was young.
