I remember Peter Jones saying there is a good story to be told about these cars. We'll have to quiz him about that.
There was another Nagari super saloon built in Adelaide. Phil Forrestal couldn't bring himself to drive a General Motors powered car in that class and decided that the Nagari would be perfect to utilise all of his Ford bits. He made a rolling chassis, fitted a piping hot Windsor and Shakespeare Fibreglass made him a Nagari coupe shell. How far he got with it I'm not sure.

Great John,
I haven't seen these before, any idea what happened to them?
I assume they weren't based on original cars, were they just bodies flopped off an original?
Can we add these to the list of Nagaris'?
Could this be a chance for James S to be a super sleuth? LOL

The Adelaide one was just a flopped off body. Don't know about the Hobart ones. However, that's how they made super saloons. The body is just fibreglass window dressing.
I have always been amused by Speedway's recognition of a make of car when they are not even silhouette cars fascinates me. The rear quarter loks a bit Nagari-ish but could just as easily have been an Alfa Spider rear quarter. Funny the original supermodified bodies were supposedly based on cut and shut 32 Fords that were running in the Hot Rod classes back them but again I just dont see it. At least the drag racing and circuit racing MK 7's look like Bolwells
