Model Evolution - The Bufori MKI (1988-1992)
The Bufori MKI replaced the Bufori Madison and was the first Bufori to enter production. It was produced with the simplest of specifications, that still allowed the owner to experience the maximum in driving pleasure and luxury.Even at an early stage in Bufori's history, the MKI was produced to perfection, with the highest standard materials at the time.
Production of the MKI ceased in 1992, and the MKII evolved.
