1961 Model 8 (Bogliq Maverick)
The Model 3 was a mixed bag for Bogliq. Sure, it had good performance and sold OK but it was overshadowed, visually and in sales, by the Model 2. Therefore, when the Model 8 was being designed, the brief was to make everyone aware that the Maverick was more than a scaled up Mutineer. In this respect the design was successful; very successful indeed!

The Model 8 Maverick was expected to take its rightful place as Bogliq’s flagship model. Sales should be strong enough for the car to not be rare, but still rare enough to be considered as an aspirational goal for owners of cheaper Bogliq models to look forward to being able to afford “one day”.
