 More history from the Totalkitcar website :


Lancastrian David Boler ran a popular exhaust fitting centre in Oldham and was also the man behind this quirky-looking hot rod creation that he called the Boler T-Bone.


He had previously raced an Elva Courier MkIII and Cox GTM so it’s entirely known what prompted his desire to produce a Model T-inspired kitcar. Early examples were built on the first floor of his exhaust shop and hoisted to the ground when completed.


They moved to a bigger premises in Greenfield in 1972, which incidentally is the same building later occupied by Harold Dermott’s D&H Fibreglass, later Midas Cars.


T-Bone body was steel panels with GRP wings and what was described as ‘substantial’ ladderframe chassis underpinning the whole ensemble. Ford Cortina provided the running gear, transmission and engine.


Boler’s celebrity mates, comedian Bernard Manning and fire-eating clown/magician, The Great Stromboli, both owned T-Bones and the latter even decked his out with fireman’s ladders and buckets!


Between 1971-74 we reckon about thirty T-Bones were sold.

Don't you love the 70's. This looks like a Bowler publicity shot I found on the web.

And I mean that in a nice way - a top hat with circular mirrors on it, a bubble perm and 8 inch stack boots - Come On Feel the Noize. An ironic bit of fun - somebody (mis) spent some time on this...look at those seats.

Brazil is a sort of shite parallel universe, isn’t it? I think if we had a mass outing to Rio we’d all just go pop with overexcitement.

He says it's the 130, I always thought these were the C20NE so 115/118 horses.

Very odd specification this? An L in 2.0 but with the 4x4. I'd have expected the 4x4 to all be top spec. But presumably 4x4 could be spec on any trim level. I had a 1.8GS that was much smarter inside.

4x4s here were either 2.0'L' (like that one) or the GSi, iirc.
