The back part is widened Nagari as you can see. At this stage we were calling it "The First Bolwell Ute". It may have turned out to be a very nice car. Who knows? Unfortunately Colin died before it was finished.

A very unusual Mark 7
Here are a couple of shots of the building of the late Colin Deckert's Bolwell. Colin bought a Mark 7 kit very early in the production run. He set about building his ideal Bolwell. Being a perfectionist, when confronted with something that didn't line up or fit or was poorly designed, he replaced it with something else. His pile of discarded stuff ended up being almost enough to build a Bolwell. Note the front sub-frame in the picture. You can also see the front half of the turret section of a Toyota Crown to replace much of the Mark 7 bodywork. At least the doors went clunk when you shut them.

ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Deckert senior's Bolly bits? Both sons built Mk 7's but what happened to the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteI also concur with anonymous's comments. For a Bolly lover this is fun.
