Bellett spotted in Adelaide.... in 1971

[dave]

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!

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.

[Retroasted]

Is he chasing or is that sarcasm cause he hates them

[BULLITT]

hi mate its sarcasm ...he loathes them cheers davo ....hey hows the missus getting closer now by the day ....

[Retroasted]

Oops. Yep she has gotten a tiny bit bigger in the belly not long now

[dave]

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

[BULLITT]

is this the same car looks close enough ............davo

[1968GT]

I am thinking Torana, bit hard to tell if 4 or 6 cylinder. BUT best is the BELLETT!!

I should have paid more attention

I would sit across the road from 1971 - 1975 at Adelaide Boys High School
