    Were there ever any Bolwell Mk7 vs Lotus Elan road tests done back in the day?
    Bigger question would have been whether either of them could have completed a road test back in the day

        A well driven Elan can still keep an Elise on its toes in the handling stakes and they are relatively handy in a straight line too. I don't think they have anything to fear from a Bolwell.

        I wouldn't mind owning a Nagari just for the looks. The Mk 7 also looks nice on the outside but interiors are pretty ordinary.
        Surely anything Lotus has to have a better value (long term!) than an Australian kit car with no world wide following?

            I'm assuming it's something to do with all the cardboard boxes. Smells like eastern Europe, the fall of communism and peasants.

              There are a few Bolwells over in Europe.
              Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the end of the world?

                      This seems like a very cheap and fuss free way to get into 12 cylinder 300kw luxury?

                            Yeah, 'tis true. probably the first thing that should be changed, or change the box.

                              There is a fair bit of work getting an overdrive auto in, I'd go up to 3.5's and call it done
