Hey guys,

I'm a member of a Facebook page called "Adelaide Remember When" and every now and then, they throw up an awesome pic... but this is the first time Belletts have been involved!

Thanks Degruch for looking at the pic close enough to notice and then tagging me on FB so I had a look!

For the record, under the street sign that says "Waymouth Street"... just in case the ol' eyes aren't up to the task!

Looks like a Marina they do have that filler panel in the middle of the grille.
I'll look up a number for Sticky there is a fellow fairly local to him that has a donkey style Marina out the front.

I reckon it could even be an LC Torana 4-cylinder. They had a stubbier nose than the 6 cylinders that everyone loves!
