Bufori
MkIII La Joya
Gerry
Khouri hand built the first Bufori over 20 years ago in Sydney, Australia. With
his two brothers Anthony and George he started the Bufori Motor Car Company
shortly after. The Bufori MkI was a retro styled two-seater, completely styled
after his own tastes. At the upcoming Australian International Motor Show in
October, the Bufori brothers will be showcasing the Mk III La Joya, which is
still retro-styled but featuring a sophisticated chassis and drivetrain, with a
mid-mounted 2.7 liter V6 producing some 172 kW.
The
new La Joya Mk III (translates from Spanish as the Jewel, pronounced as
La-Hoya) is a combination of all the best from the previous Bufori models. The
car features a mid-mounted engine, kevlar and carbon-fibre lightweight body,
race-style double wishbone front and rear suspension, the usual safety
features, and plenty of luxury in the cabin. The interior contains 100% Persian
Silk carpets, walnut dashboard and 24k gold-plated instrumentation. Bufori
export their cars globally, including the United Arab Emirates, which is
probably why there is an option to have precious gemstones mounted anywhere on
the vehicle and an optional 24k solid gold bonnet emblem.
