When I say from "19xx" I mean that this was the first year of the model, not that the actual pictured car is from that year.

Campbell Bolwell had already seen success with the V8-powered Nagari, but set his sights lower with the Ikara. The Ikara was a lightweight, buggy-style car with a Volkswagen Golf 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine. Only 12 were built.
