Hi people,

Here's another tasty Bellett I found for sale in Japan. Actually, it wasn't for sale it was SOLD, but it was still on the Samurai Auto website. I have no idea how much it went for.

It's a pretty nice looking unit, approximately 1970 with the short bonnet and relocated wipers, plus the flow-thru ventilation vent in the rear quarter panels.

I just posted this because it looked pretty good. Quality of the photos not the best.... I really have to wonder how much it sold for. Nice to see it didn't get turned into a GTR replica!

Cheers,


Dave

Ouch! I didn't realise the car had a sordid history of lies and deception! I just put it up coz it was a pretty car!

Pity it didn't come over here to Australia! We could do with another nice GT!

Sorry to hear of the dramas; I remember you guys mentioned it a while back on the site, but I didn't know this was the car.

Cheers,


Dave
