2011 Isuzu Owners Meeting, Japan
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 1:41 pm
Hey guys,
I don't think this is one JT191 has mentioned in the Events section (which, truth be known, we put there to organise and follow up events, rather than throw photos of events you found off the Net, but having said that, I'm not a Nazi Moderator and really don't care!).
Where was I?
Oh yeah, I found this under this link:

So there's the usual fare: some Piazzas:
Some nice 117s:
Here's a Piazza with a slammaged Bellett GT
Here's an Isuzu TX bus, just for Farmer!
This race-spec Bellett was pretty good. Was fitted with a DOHC according to the original caption.
Ok so here's the freakshow. In front of these Isuzu T-series Geminis, the be-winged late-model Piazza (or whatever it is) and long-bonnet PR91 is a little red Bellett GT.
This appears to have the 14" wheels and body coloured window frames of the early, early, early PR90 models, but more than that, it's got the sedan front with GT indicators and bumper mount position.
I've recently discovered that at least one of the pre-production models was red; well, I saw a contemporary article in a Japanese magazine for sale on Yahoo Japan; probably a very early road test.
The number of these PR90 Bellett 1600GTs fitted with a sedan front and teardrop tail lights has been put at about 8 units, having said that I don't remember where that info came from (probably Brett; if that's the case, I don't know where he got it from).
So I wonder if this is one of the pre-production units or just a 'regular' super-early build GT that has copped a sedan front at some stage in the last 45 years....
I want a photo of the back, but no go!
Cheers,
Dave
