Borat

Borat Sagdiyev (Assumed Cyrillic: ????? ???????) is a fictional Kazakhstani media figure, created as satire and played by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. He is featured in each episode of Da Ali G Show, doing satirical interviews with various people who apparently do not realize the show is fake. He has visited Britain and the USA. The character's supposed Kazakh origins are purely a plot device; the near-total lack of knowledge of the country among westerners enables the show's writers to create outrageous dialogue while preserving a semblance of credibility with the interviewee.

The car

The name Borat was also given to a silver VW Bora that visited many VW Festivals around the UK. After an early festival, the letter "T" was added to the Bora on the rear of the car, and Borat was born in the automobile world.

The car featured a VW Votex kit, which was, and still is, quite a rare kit to be seen in the UK, although it features more prominently in the USA – where the Bora is called the Jetta.
