  The car is based on a Frazer Nash chassis and four-speed chain-drive transmission with a fabricated front axle and Lea Francis steering and stub axles. Power comes from a supercharged MG six-cylinder engine running on methanol. The seat is reputedly ex-DC3 Dakota! This car was first built by Richard Bolster in 1932 after he decided that 'Bloody Mary', the famous special that was built by him and his brother John as schoolboys, was too dangerous to drive any more. With 'very effective' Lea-Francis brakes on the projecting front axle, the set-back Darracq radiator, and a tall, dark red monoposto body, the Bolster GN-MG was instantly recognisable and appeared in numerous races at Brooklands and Donington. Despite a race win at Donington, the MG engine was not as fast as Richard had hoped, so he rebuilt the car again with four 500cc single-cylinder Rudge dirt-track (Speedway) engines arranged in-line along the chassis, and achieved a class win at Shelsley Walsh.

  The 1966 Caprera 850 Berlinetta, a little known and rarely seen one-off prototype. Based on the diminutive Fiat 850 chassis and mechanicals, the design was seen as a "downmarket Dino." It never advanced to market, as build costs were too high to offset disappointing performance. Still, it was a pretty thing. However, Fiat's Tipo 100G platform, or the 850 as its commonly known, went on to spawn an eclectic mix of Italian style that few others could match. Fiat's had their own Coupe designed by Guigario. Which Carlo Abarth couldn't resist tinkering with, including throwing some (much) bigger engines its way. which he also did with the Berlina for that matter. as well as signore Abarth, the classless 850 Coupe won over many other hearts, with over 380000 manufactured. Need practical? The 850 has you covered, here with the Amigo. Bertone's "Visitors" van, clearly has 850 dna. But the eye catchers, to many, are the Tipo 100G based Sport's cars that ...
