Post subject:	There's gotta be room, for a Sport!
Hello friends. It is with great pleasure I reveal that I'm now the owner of a rare little car, a PR60 Bellett 1800 Sport. I'm very grateful to Dean, who made me an offer I couldn't refuse, and who had bought the car from Glenn, who imported it a few years ago. It is true that I have a few cars in need of my time, but I reckon this one will jump the queue, it's just so rare, and will be a comparatively easy prospect. Here are a few pics....

Attachment: IMG_20210612_160346.jpg [ 1.56 MiB \| Viewed 14723 times ] Yeah, it's got the mask grille, final generation '72 model.

Attachment: IMG_20210612_160626.jpg [ 889.93 KiB \| Viewed 14723 times ] Has a GT ratio gearbox, but with sedan gearlever, and a nice little console. You reckon I'm excited?? You reckon right. Matt.

Exactly right Kerry mate! All but the driver's seat, but I'll work something out. Unfortunate, because the passenger's is good, and the headrest for the driver's is there. Attachment: IMG_20210612_160551.jpg [ 844.96 KiB \| Viewed 14692 times ] Ahh, one will turn up! Thanks mate.

Well done Matt, I remember seeing this car at Deans when I purchased the GT. Good to see she is finally going to get some much needed TLC, good on you for taking on the project. Regards Peter

Yeah, I'm pretty excited. The motor is an unknown, missing the carbs. Attachment: IMG_20210628_174523.jpg [ 881.4 KiB \| Viewed 14657 times ] So thankfully, Dean included this bonus one!

Hi Farmer Just curious those headrests do they have Bellett embossed into the rear section? Flying

Hey there my flying friend, yes they do mate. So I'm keen to find another seat. Found one on Yahoo auctions, but the freight was going to be about $1200. And they wouldn't unlock the auction anyway. One will turn up! Cheers, Matt.

Is the frame the same width as the GT Reclining seats?

Where the GT seat comes to a point across the top, the Sport one is about 100mm thick. The headrest posts are 200mm apart at the centres. Cheers, Matt.
