More on the Kadala Mark 7

These are the wheels that come with the car, standard Torana by the look of them, which stands to reason as the donor car was a Torana. The paperwork and credentials for the Torana have been kept just to be on the safe side as have the actual Bolwell details and registration material.Experienced Bolwell people will recognise that the condition of the body and chassis is very unusual as they have not suffered the deterioration normally found in well used cars after all those years.
As a Kadala car it has the larger footwells similar to the Nagari and the Nagari dash is standard and not fitted later as happened to many early examples.
The chassis, too, is different in these later versions. e.g. the main side members are bent in a "U" shape with the "U" facing into the running gear rather than the "Z" shape with the top part facing the centre of the car and the bottom coming out under the floor pan at a short angle.

The car was stolen by and recovered from a man who wanted to make a drag racer out of it, hence the dismantled nature.
To the knowledge of everybody concerned there are no issues with the car in any legal respect and it has been known to car club members for many years.
