Jeez the torana was going for it

Booooring.

Carroll Shelby’s favourite Engine

Eats V8s for breakfast.

Did you cut up a real GT350H???? 😶‍🌫

Love your enthusiasm !!!

How many ponies did that rig have??

This is a nice video about an example from a great engine family. The 413 doesn't get the attention it deserves. Thank you.

Should have allowed them out one at a time and timed the lap. The E49 would be quicker considering that GM product in front couldn't go around corners and the E49 had to wash off speed.

My mother would drive circles around this dude no bull shit many people told me she could outdrive any man she drove the powder puff derby won all but her first race took 3rd.😂

"70's Australian Supercar" - I was a car loving teenager then and the Bolwell was the pinnacle of my dreams along with the Lamborgini Muira which had similar lines. No hope of owning either at the time. Thank you Campbell.

If you see a black mustang in rear view mirror, tighten seatbelt and flip the bird to any yellow taxis in your way.

They made a movie about the car with George Lazenby.

What position were you at the red flag? That's some awesome driving to come back from last like that.

I drove past their factory every day for 15 years and can still smell the fibreglass coming round the corner on Boundary rd

Love those 2 beasts

Nice car but it is not Australian, all OZ cars have roo bars.

Nice, yes I always wanted one - but gee, you really need think like a motorcycle rider while driving one as there’s little protection … especially side impact.

Great build, will make a nice daily driver with better mileage than the stock 1 barrel.

Pfff 😆 Nanna's corolla goes harder 🤪

I recall Bolwall had a bit of a comeback about 20 years ago with HSV V8s in them. I remember walking past a dealer in Artarmon selling them

I don't really like the generalize but when I saw Cleveland, I thought to myself yeah it's the Aussie Bros!

Saw one of these for the first time at the Kumeu Classic Car Show in January. Stunning piece of kit

6 pots vs 8... and quite a displacement deficit, and yet ...HEY CHARGER!!! Hell yeah! Damn good automotive mechanism right there!!! And for myself i have to say it's not about most powerful, or fastest, But what stirs your goolie strings!

Put all the other cars down to the 302 hp of a E49 and we see how they go. Not real good . 🤔

Had an XE ute in nz 20 years ago. On lpg had 300km on it, 3 on the tree. Bench seat. Kids loved squashing in and cruising. Not fast but the torque made it easy to drive. Only 2 gear changes made it okd school cool. No power steering but of a beast to park. Sold it for 2k in 2008. Had an xb sedan when i lived in oz early 90s. Full of rust, drove it on lot of outback roads unbreakable

Most Beautiful Australian Built Car!!!

I always thought a Bolwell Nagari was a jolly good looking car. I used to see them on the road a few times a year and thought what a great looking car. The factory paint wasn't anything like the restored ones but. Also it must've been ADR27a that was the culprit. With hindsight if they just bought 351's to offset the performance loss from lower compression and smog camshaft profile of the 302s and left the engines the way they came from the factory, with the EGR and installed and hot air air cleaner, then installed a charcoal canister they might've got past that hurdle. Despite opinions to the contrary EGR makes no difference at WOT if its working correctly since it's closed, it only opens when cruising. The crash testing not so much I suppose.

Restoration done by the book perfectly

Small volume car manufacturers have no chance in this country Bolwell originally sold at a kit car you assembled yourself but so many were put together badly that it was hurting the Bolwell name so kits were stopped and only fully built cars were sold enter the Nagari

The last of the genuine Aussie innovators. Aussie car industry was a cultural backbone, no longer, dismantled by the unholy and vested interests, I still curse them all!

Looks very cramped. Must be size S , us blokes that need size L or XL would be out of luck. Many vehicles suffer from lack of space, Lotus 7 is a shocker, I sat in a genuine C-Type Jag, not very roomy but the plaque inside the door read S Moss. Use to love E Type's but head would rub on the roof. One thing I have learn't about cars and trucks is to try them on for size before falling in love with them. Recently had a Chevy C20 79 model even that was not great. The racing shoe's would be a must alright if not bare feet for some. I sat in a 1928 Desoto a couple of weeks ago, it was a bloody shocker. Looks are one thing but size is another thing that will restict many.

That was a nice drive. Kept it within his means. Yielded to other cars rather than crunch. Didn't look like he was out of his depth anywhere. Looked like he could do it all day long.

One of these is up for sale. Offers over 900,000 only

Gotta find one of these Mack1 cars

Glen everat is a fudge packer

Jz Toyota block based chrysler slant six 225?

Just imagine road car 308 " fully worked full house with supercharger !" Yeah !

I think he meant bonnet.

Looks almost exactly like a ginetta even uses the same engine

Great driving Glenn , really enjoyed the HQ racing back then

the quintessential iconic australian car

Still a great looking car.

great video recommend it.

I read about these in a motoring mag(I think Wheels) back in the 80s. Great looking car.

Interesting video and car, but the music during the talking is very needless and distracting. I used to do music production for corporate videos so I know how it's done. Music should only be added when you want to enhance something that NEEDS it, and/or is frankly just boring, otherwise there should be no music. Jay Leno's Garage is a very good example of how these types of information-intensive shows should be done. In his case, he rarely uses any music at all. I think he used to have intro music but has even ditched that.

PURVIS EUREKA should be next on the list.

oh man the sweet sound of the limiter....didn't think I would get to hear that, this car is legit meant to be drivin hahahaha AWESOME!!

I’ve know the Bolwell family since I was a kid in Frankston as a kid in the late ‘50s . It was tragic when Winston died in an accident. And the real reason the turn key car production came to an end was just the red tape and crash test requirements that were just not achievable. They stayed in business producing many fibre glass products including Kenworth bonnets and kids playground equipment. This excellent video fails to say there is still a new generation Bolwell car ( a serious Euro type supercar )in recent production. Respect for this family and what they’ve achieved .
