This afternoon I met Dave (my local car mate Dave) in my driveway. Dave is the bloke that found me "Barn Find" just 20 k's away.(Down the Maryvale road) He says "I found you a car".
"Not another Bellett?" I ask.
"No mate, but I wasn't sure so I brought you the Grille"...................

"That's a Florian Grille!""I thought it might be, The badge is missing off the boot, but I thought it was about the right length" he says.
"Not down the Maryvale road?"
"Yeah, but down the end". That puts it about 30 k's away.
What ARE the chances?
Next he shows me the tiny photo on his phone. It's a small taillight '68. I tell him it's the only one I know of anywhere.
Then he tells me the property is being sold and all the old cars have to go, so it's probably going to be real cheap.
Might have to go for a drive!
The bad news? Some parts are missing, and one of them is the roof! Yep, Shooting Buggy!
But maybe it has some good bits, and after I got my first Bellett others seemed to show up. Perhaps Florians have a homing signal that attracts others too!
Now, I gotta find Dave a photo of a 117 coupe................
Cheers friends.
