Remember the Madison?
Anybody remember the Madison? While heading out of Sydney along the Paramatta Road, I saw a clutch of what appeared to be brand new Madisons. In Oz,
they're known as the "Bufori", and according to one source, there was an attempt to start production in Malaysia.
Check out www.bufori.com for more info.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

They seem to be Holden-based, although its not clear wha the base vehicle was in Malaysia. Could be some financial problems, from the sign on their
gate.

IIRC the Madison started like as a VW based car, and was then developed to use a chassis designed to take Cortina mechanicals. Quite nice looking car
(in the pics anyway, can't remember seeing one for real) probably based on a thirties USA roadster
