I'm not sure of the exact circumstances but Dennis damaged the car and part traded with Royce for his Fibrecar Sports, which Dennis had on the road in 1990 registered with the BOLLY-8 plates.<br />PeterGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290662315829466158.post-36017416729579340452009-07-12T20:44:12.742+09:302009-07-12T20:44:12.742+09:30Jim Shanahan wrote:-

There's no way, though, that it was the last production Nagari. They were in production well into '74. I remember Linley pinning up on the notice board a letter from Ray Gulson after he returned to Canberra in it. He praised the car and all involved in its production, which was nice of him.<br />I don't follow your reasoning regarding 107 turning into Royce's sports. I remember him building the sports but I don't remember the wreck of 107. It must have turned up sometime after I left Fibrecar. Ric Kemp was building his sports at about the same time. From memory, they both had Torana front ends with Leyland P76 discs. I think this was to match the Ford diff bolt pattern. The discs also added an inch or two to the track which was a bonus as the Torana track was a little narrow as was the original Nagari track measurement. You might consider this modification for your own Nagari project.<br />Only a few cars remain in my memory and your silver car was one of them. Shame it met such an end.<br />Cheers,<br />Jim"John Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275624949275742682noreply@blogger.com
