I remember seeing that car at a special plastics exhibition at the newly opened Doncaster Shoppingtown in January 1970. The first car to appear in print after B8/1 was B8/3 in the August Motor Manual. As a matter of dubious fact Bolwell Factoy records list production of B8/1 - B8/49 as having occured in 1971, nothing listed for 1970.

He says the bottom line is that there is no doubt Campbell did use a real aboriginal word, Nagari, for the car and there is equally no doubt this was the first such named car in the world - and by a large margin (at least 3 decades), "so another one for the goodies!!"John Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275624949275742682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290662315829466158.post-597872036795724852009-12-16T15:03:40.214+10:302009-12-16T15:03:40.214+10:30Just to throw another spanner in the works.
