found three belletts near Adelaide...

[mrflibbles]

long story short, I started a new job in the hills at a Dealership and i took in my 1/64 bellett for my desk so i could spend my non productive time dreaming! One of the other guys that work there turns around and says "i know where there are a few of them possibly for sale". So i finally managed to get my directions right and find the place, and here's what is there. There are 2 early teardrop bellett's that i can make out and one more common bellett! the dark blue early bellett looks saveable(ish) as doers the commoner one. The other tear drop has no rear screen so who knows what it is like. going to have to cut down some shrubbery to get to them then inspect further! I tried to contact the owner but no luck yet. maybe in the next few weeks i can move this to my bellett's....
feel free to post your opinions of the cars, if nothing else we can at least use parts of them to keep another bellett going...

thats a good finds there Mr Flibb..
may get 2 cars out of that lot or one real good one.
Not a real lot better nick than the one out at Gawler but still good for spares if nothing else.
Hope you can get them for a fair price

Now that's some serious shrubbery! They may have been there for a while. But yeah, all pretty intact. It's nice when you get a tip that leads to a find. It looks like the late model has the stainless window frames (?) making it an imported Deluxe.
Reckon you oughta get 'em home!
Good work. Matt.

You are a very lucky man - I hope you find the time to piece together at least one good car out of the three.

Please post all the parts you will not be using

Thanks for the heads up gt orphanage. Alistair used to own the parts.

I have been in contact with the owner of the parts and he is happy to let most go for free/cheap to keep other belletts on the road

Hey Mr Fibbles, how'd the Bellett horticulture go? Any good results or were they all duds?

[mrflibbles]

all 3 have been pulled out, mostly they are good for parts as the floors seem to be quite rotten, but at least averything salvageable of of the cars will be taken of and stored for when they are needed. just havent had time to go down and help strip them! but they will help a few more belletts live alot longer!

[RobSA]

The bodies are going to be recycled



..... and not for coke cans either
