A few Buchanans you might not have seen before.

Just to change the subject tell me about these Buchanans.

  1. As you know John I only have eyes for the Bolwells, I know the MkVII Sports is the ex Coxy Coupe and the Red Nagari is B8/57, but which car is the apparent Dark Blue Nagari Coupe with the inside-out taillights??

  2. John, The dark green Buchanan was mine. I think that the photo may have been taken at the Bolwell Easter meet at Bairnsdale. The current owner recently had the car at the Phillip Island Historics and it is a credit to him, it also features on the Buchanan site.
    I cannot beleive that I used to own a factory Bathurst race car! incidentally, I think that the 'stance' of this car and the 60 spoke wires lokk far better than those in the b/w pictures.
    Does the dark blue coupe not belong to MJ, I'm sure that that is a billiard cue holding up the boot!

  3. Thanks Simon, when I checked your reply against my photos of M's car, I noticed in all photos of the rear the taillights are the wrong way around, and thanks for reminding me about the pool que, I think that was on Sean's to-do list, Ron Mac may have suggested painting it to match the car, at least until the boot strut is fabricated!

  4. The car running with the Karmann Ghia is Derek Holden's MGTD Buchanan Special I'm told. When, I don't know.
