This is a restoration. The car was up and running in 1982. The subsequent owner considered the original build standard so poor that he decided he would take it all back to square one when the V6 was installed. It probably sounded like a good idea at the time.

The Bolwell brothers were so concerned that the low standard of home builds on the Mk7 was damaging the brand they decided the Mk8 Nagari would only be sold as a turn-key. I fully understand their concerns. It also probably explains why the Nagari, although produced in far less numbers than the Mk7, is so much better known (apart from the V8 performance).
