C2 Series 1966 - 1977
1966 Bogliq Haulstar and Cargostar
A couple of loyal Americans, ready to work!!!
The Buffalo utility was more of a niche player for Bogliq than they’d liked so, for the 2nd generation, the Buffalo transformed into the Haulstar and Cargostar siblings. The design was deliberately simplified to echo the “tougher” design languages of the competition but retain the Bogliq strengths of car-esque drivability and refinement. Load capacity was reduced slightly over the old model, due to customers not wanting it, and the straight six was replaced with a “D” series vee six to contain costs. As before, the C2 series had no performance variants due to no-one asking for them. A solid, loyal and capable companion for the tradesman who doesn’t want their truck to feel like a truck!

1970 Mk 2 Bogliq Haulstar and Cargostar
Detail changes only for the 1970 update of the C2 range
“If it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it!” was the motto of the 1970 introduction of the Clean Air engine upgrades to the C2. Other than lighting changes to suit new legislation, the C2 had a new 4.1L V6 installed to ensure owners wouldn’t be left high and dry when the inevitable ban on lead based additives came into effect. Nothing else changed to grandpa’s axe and that was just the way that C2 buyers liked it!

Radial Tyres
In 1972 the C2 was updated to accept Radial tyres as standard fitment. The V6 was downsized since the older 4.1L V6 was too powerful for this application. There also was an attempt at a budget friendly four cylinder version, which proved to be surprisingly popular…

1974 Mk 3 Bogliq Haulstar and Cargostar
Bogliq’s utility range has been adjusted to better reflect utility buyers needs.
Choosing to save money on a visual redesign, Bogliq has instead looked to consolidate variants in light of the fuel crisis, plus introduce a new option; 4 wheel drive!
V6 engines have been dropped, suspension and drivetrain reworked and interior options tweaked to ensure customers get exactly what they’re looking for.
