There was a large number of Bolwells at PI to celebrate I guess an anniversary. They had a demo run each day on the track.

I think the name was relaunched recently, but not the same company.

More on Bolwell here: http://www.bolwell.com/our-heritage/

An expat Aussie here in UK is close to putting a Bolwell on track in Historic Roadsports after a multi-year prep ... precisely which model I'm not yet sure. He previously a Milano. At PI a few years back I was surprised to see how many different Bolwell models there were in the Club area. I look forward to seeing the Bolwell in HRS!
