Check these out. A work mate found these on the humble inter-web and sent them to me for my birthday! Soooo Cool, someone would know who and when they were taken ?

Well so far a few of you may have seen this this thread and asked: "IS HE FOR REAL" :lol: Chances are these pics may already exist deep in the history of B.net.

How about I kick off with my limited knowledge:

Top photo: NSW plated, and Auzzie scenery. Definetely looks era.

Bottom photo comparison: Judging buy he plate and the scenery, this could be era Dutch, English or Canadian, likely northern hemisphere.

Both similar sedans. The snow pic is missing the overriders on the bumpers though. And also the charectaristic chrome strip. It's got cheese cutter wheels all round and the left rear axel is buried deep into the wheel arch doing the flick. There are 2 very concentrated dudes in open faced helmets navigating this thing....god bless them ;)

I don't think DNX is one of Ike Treloar's cars... I don't *think*....

Nice photos Bruno; I've definitely seen the Finnish car before; that photo is as old as the internets herself!

Looks like Davo is not just a pretty face (or several, as I recall from the 2012 Nationals)!!!!

Cheers, Davo. You're a legend :mrgreen:

The recent photo of the Finnish car confirms it's mass dumpage (looks hellish low, and super cool with Wantanabes).
Also confirms it is lefty and one mirror, I see changed to original sedan one.

Excellent photos of the Mini and Holden :D :D

The latter one is from Finland and historic rallying. Picture seems to be scanned, so it's film era, like 10 or more years ago. Again the the number stickers represent sponsorship of nation wide Automarket chain that has been around actively about 13 maybe max 20 years.

I'd say picture being taken somewhere in mid nineties perhaps.

I think this is enough until rest of the Finnish Isuzu Onwers Club guys show up and tell you the whole history of the car, they have excelent memory about racing / rallying Belletts here and all they need is license plate number. :)
