Yes, it's a meat tenderizer; not sure about Armstrong.
I told you it was probably an easy one.

Here's one for the car buffs.
Can Dave identify this beastie?
RE: WhatIzIt ??? - Quint - 02-20-2024
Lotus

A dream car!
No, I hadn't identified it.
Nice ID, MFI.

I have never seen this luxury car in a print or TV ad. Maybe if you have to ask the price you can't afford it! Beautiful car and color. The law is always on the lookout for red cars on the expressways....speeding!

Well it isn't a Lotus.
I left the badge in this time.
They have been around a good while.
Some earlier versions were made between 1970/1974. These eralier versions were powered by a Ford 302 or 351 cubic inch V8 engine mounted in a 920 kg (2,028 lb), 2,280 mm (89.8 in) wheelbase body and backbone chassis. Other components came from Ford (suspension and dampers) and Austin 1800 (steering).
The latest version It is a mid-engined two-seater coupé with a carbon-fibre tub, front and rear subframes and a carbon-reinforced composite body. Power comes from a fettled 2GR-FE 3.5L V6 engine sourced from the Toyota Aurion, which is available either as naturally aspirated or fitted with an optional Sprintex supercharger. The 2GR-FE produces 200–221 kW (268–296 hp) at 6200rpm, with 336–353 N⋅m (248–260 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4700rpm. Initially available with only a 6-speed automatic (with or without paddle shifting), however a 6-speed manual transmission was later developed. DC5-model.

No other guesses?

Sorry, I tried google, but found nothing. I tried.

It is an interesting story.
I've cut to the man himself in this video.

Yes. It is the Bolwell Nagari. An Australian made car.
In Australia's past, we had more than 40 automobile manufacturers in the early days of motoring. Mainly built from imported parts but Australian designed and independent of each other. Our market has always been too small to sustain such diversity and has over the years since, limited our motor industry.

Wow....he must have genious in his blood to start building cars at 16 and by 20 start a business.....I'm impressed. Really nice looking sports car!
