had a mate put this on my facebook page, there is a bellett at approx 0.30 seconds in. Looks to be an early teardrop but im sure you guys will prove me wrong!

lots of early holdens, fords, toyotas and other stuff too! looks to me like the newest car on there might be a 1971 or 1972 vintage!

There may be more belletts there but my net sucks and i cant be bothered waiting for it too load up!

Yeah I dunno; they always seem to bust out a colour I've never seen just when I've thought I've seen it all!

It looks pretty original; the film was made in 1973 so it was a sub-10-year-old car at the time!

Looky what else I found!

Well, Retroasted found them, I just screen-shotted them!

From another video in the series, this time about avoiding head-ons.

I watched it for 8 minutes... it's literally the last car you see!

Here in SA, 'personalised' plates that are limited in their options are a one-off fee of about $180... eg: my GEMIN-1 plate is one of those, but if you tried to get GEMINI, it would be $250/year. I also have VYPAN-0 for my VY Sandman; again it's a one-off fee and you get to keep it forever, unless it falls out of use for 5 years, then it goes back into the pool.

I now really want to buy a PR90 and put DUN999 on it (for $180) just to set the cat amongst the pigeons!
