Bye bye Bolly

[Warwick]

After 35 years, 1 month and 18 days, my 1970 Mk.7 Bolwell left on Saturday with its new owner. Very sad.

At least it will now be finished and I may even get to see it again. It's been both a link to my youth, and a millstone around my neck, but I miss it already. A very strange jumble of feelings.

A bit sad Warwick but at least as you say it will be restored and you have the chance to see it finished how you will feel then

Sorry to hear that Warwick I am sure you have viewed this before. It might make you feel better or even worse. It does sound throaty though under acceleration.

John, the new owner has promised to keep me informed of progress. Who knows - I may even get a drive one day.

Oh, wow - Thanks Glenn. This may seem strange but I have never thought of searching You-Tube. I've never seen that before, although I know of that car. There were only about 400 Mk.7s made. Probably only 200 made it onto the roads. Many were raced. A couple were totally destroyed in the bushfires earlier this year.

Must do some more searching.
