The man who took the Nagari copy to the US had no link to Centaur but used the name for his car building exercise over there because he thought the name wasn't used in that country. However, checking the name in World car encyclopaedias reveals that there was at least one other American manufacturer apart from himself with that name and one in England as well.John Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275624949275742682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290662315829466158.post-18825703805174466712008-08-28T22:52:00.000+09:302008-08-28T22:52:00.000+09:30John Davies tried to post a comment but it didn't ...John Davies tried to post a comment but it didn't come out for some reason. Anyway, this is what he said - Thanks for item. B8/26 does not look quite as good up close. More a 10 paces back to look good with the 1976? paint. I am also competing in Speed on Tweed Murwillumbah NSW on the 20-21st September. After that I plan to have the car soda blasted and repainted.<BR/>The Centaur-Waggott GT is driven by a friend of mine Brad Stratton (Group A Corolla fame) and owned by another friend Bevan Batham from Warwick Q. Bevan also has a Centaur clubman. Timmy Harlock the builder of the Cenrtaurs is also a friend.John Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275624949275742682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290662315829466158.post-11867163932261793572008-08-27T09:22:00.000+09:302008-08-27T09:22:00.000+09:30I forgot to mention, I noticed on the 7.30 Report,...I forgot to mention, I noticed on the 7.30 Report, in the background, the rather famous Centaur GT. There is a link with Centaur and the wide bodied Nagari which went close to becoming a "Centaur". There's a story to be told there too. I'm gradually working on it.John Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275624949275742682noreply@blogger.com
