We tell the story of Bolwell Sportscars and drive a pristine restored example of the iconic 1973 Ford Cleveland V8 powered Nagari.
Bolwell was a household name with car enthusiasts in the 60s and 70's, the brand being created by the Bolwell brothers in their own backyard, then progressing into a dedicated manufacturing facility. The concept was a little like Lamborghini Miura meets American Muscle Car, sharing similar body lines through inspiration to the Miura, yet jam-packed full of Ford V8. The future held high hopes for the brand through the 60s and early 70s but rigorous compliance requirements for vehicle manufacturing rendered future production non-viable, and therefore the demise of the brand as it was known, for producing exciting sports cars. The name Bolwell still continues today as a composite manufacturer, and there is also a new Nagari nearing completion that will see the brand return to producing low volumes sports cars.
