History of Bellett in Canada

Post by dave »

Hi people,

Some of you may have stumbled across James C Mays' awesome history of the Bellett in Canada.

I've gained permission to reproduce it on our forum.

It's in it's own, locked section so it can't be messed with, however you'd like to post your thoughts on it, go for it here!

The locked version is at:
viewtopic.php?f=50&t=1201

It is truly awesome; if only we knew this much about our own Bellett history!

Cheers,


Dave

Amazing stuff, Dave. Interesting last brochure photo of sedan in your write up. Shows the mirrors more akin to the pointy after market "Maddonas" on my GT, not the elegant originals we are more acostumed to seeing. In this pic they don't look much out of place but quite neat instead.

Cheers, B.

Cheers for following on that one Dave. I read that article a month or so ago and book marked it but never went back :)

Glad someone is on the ball around here!

I got an email last week about a Bellett in Canada not far from me. I have no specifics on it, other than he's looking for parts.

I've pointed him in this direction (and to a rusty parts car in a junkyard nearby).
