Starting in 1980, Bridgell Motor Company started selling, with great success, the Bridgell Buccanneer. It was an RHD version of the Bogliq 830B Buccanneer, built in CKD with the RHD components being made in the UK by Bridgell.

Two special versions of this car were also sold, known as Bridgell Buccanneer Stage 1, sporting a retuned V6 engine, sportier suspensions and a wild bodykit:

And Bridgell Buccanneer Stage 2, this being limited to 80 cars, all having their twin-turbo DAOHC V6 engines hand-built in the USA, and including a travel ticket there for the new owner to learn how to not die driving this beast.

All UK cars also received a coat of galvanization on all steel parts and similar rust treatments on other parts to survive the harsh environment, and a great amount of them are still on the road today!
Also, the first Stage 2 RHDcar, id UK-00, is still in great shape at our museum, still sporting the special paint job made to celebrate the release, displayed along with other historical Bridgell cars.
