I was in the car park at Bunnings today when a tradies ute pulled up next to the Hunter. He hopped out and started talking about it - his Dad had owned a Hunter and he had the usual memories (this kind of thing happens quite a lot). After a while he told me that a couple of weeks ago he had seen a really unusual car. a Bellett! He was doing a carpet laying job in the suburb of Weston and this bloke had two in the garage - I think one is a parts car. When he first saw it he didn't even know what it was. Of course I told him that the Hillman was a relative and said I'd love to contact the owner. He claimed he couldn't remember the address (but this could just be protecting the privacy of his customers.
Anyway, I'll be looking out for it/them.
Cheers, Vic
