1961 Model 4 (Bogliq Zealot)
The Model 4 was in many ways a flawed execution of the Bogliq promise. The Mk II version sought to improve on the Mk I in all the areas that mattered to the target audience. The Engage and Entrance trims were geared towards affordability and driveability with superior fuel economy, the Entice was re-jigged to be more prestigious and the Enthuse was re-tuned to take back the small sports sedan crown from Caliban.

The Mk II was successful in improving key metrics over the Mk I unfortunately the only area they couldn’t improve was the price; model for model, the price had risen over the Mk I.
It was anticipated that the Mk II would do better than the Mk I in the competitive small car sector but substantial conquest sales were unlikely as the competition had definitely done their homework.
