it's like lotus 7 in more than one way
During a six year period (1967-1972), 400 units received registration plates, making Bolwell Australia's fifth largest vehicle manufacturer. It was still predominantly manufactured in kit form, but a number of complete cars were also built by the factory. Just before the model hit the market, Graeme left for a working holiday in the U.K. where he spent five months working for Colin Chapman at the Lotus factory

I stand corrected. BTW; I even looked in a 1980s edition of world cars - covering stuff from the early '70s on - and didn't see one in there. Way to go, Mr obscure car specialist man! ;)

Looks like you get to go again then. :shock:

Ooh! First thought I had was 1966 Datsun Sylvia Coupé, but then I looked at one and that wasn't it. Then I thought maybe an Isuzu Bellet from the same sort of era, again I was wrong. :x

Japanese though, yes?

Edited: Hino Contessa, circa 1962ish? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Okay John you had me thinking, I knew it wasn't from the Americas or Europe or Russia.
As it has the slight whif of a landrover front and wheel arches it made me think of former
British colonels.

In Australia they had full sized Landrovers and mokes to cover both ends of the scales so
that ruled them out. Honk Kong wouldn't produce them as there isn't the space .

That left India , Pakistan and Africa.
Well I started with the two main known ones, tata err no! The other which is a love for Morris
Oxford lovers for parts. Hindustan Trekker, like all the other let's-make-a-quickie-jeep cars,
the 1982-1999 Trekker was based on Hindustan's most popular car, the Ambassador.
