Welcome to this truly awesome brochure, a Japanese domestic market single-page pamphlet with the minor details of every single Bellett in the range!
This picture on the cover shows a nice motion shot of a fully loaded Bellett 1500 Deluxe with all trimmings motoring around a test bowl.

Panels 2 and 3 seem to feature 10 features of the Bellett range. If anyone can read Japanese, please fill us in, but item 2 seems to advise that you can get the car in 2 and 4 doors, while item 4 seems to discuss engines.

When looking at the pamphlet panels 4-5 and 6-7 open to form a single massive Bellett periodic table!
Featured here is all number of beast, the KR10V Bellett Express wagon; check out the differential ratio! 5.125:1 shows it's close heritage with the Wasp rather than the rest of the Bellett range. The PR20 2-door sedan is shown here in standard and Deluxe form. Interestingly, the single-headlight front appears not to be exclusive to the PR10 1300cc Bellett as first thought, with a PR20 1500cc 2-door sedan with single headlights clearly visible in the pamphlet.
Of particular awesomeness is the PR80 and PR80 GT, both PR90-style, early-model Bellett GT body shells with sedan 1500cc running gear. The straight PR80 has the standard sedan's 68PS while the PR80 GT has a few extra horses with 77PS, well short of the full-fruit PR90 GT1600 which made 88PS.

Referring to above, several more versions are revealed in panels 6-7. A single-headlight, 4-door PR10, PR20 and PRD10 Diesel sedan are shown with lots of configurations available including bucket seat/floor shift and bench seat/column shift configurations. A Diesel wagon is also shown.
The Wasp is also shown in it's considerable beauty on this range pamphlet with the petrol and diesel versions shown on either side of the page. Interestingly, they don't show any optional trim configurations for the Wasp and the Wasp brochure shown elsewhere has the Wasp on column-shift configuration only, whereas we know that all KR20's that came to Australia were the unhelpful combination of bench seat/floor shift!
Finally in the centre two columns at the bottom is the Bellett 1500 Deluxe in both 1500 petrol and 1800 diesel versions, with diagrams of several configurations; bucket seat/floor shift, the rather pointless bucket seat/column shift and the bench seat/column shift.
The final panel on the rear of the pamphlet shows the various engine specs. The 1300 is quite interesting in that it makes maximum torque at a mere 1800rpm, 200rpm lower than the diesel!
All interesting information that makes this brochure truly excellent.
