Hello all,
This is not meant to be an ad or anything, but have you seen this magazine?

Its an Aus mag all about cars that have survived over time. Cars featured are unrestored, typical "Nanna cars".
This is the third issue and is in newsagents now. It is a quarterly and is $10. It is right up my alley (obviously) and fortunately I knew early enough to get the first 2 issues. Not many were printed as they didn't expect the huge response that has occured, Issue 1 is already selling on ebay for over $100.
It is a great read and well printed, so I reckon you should have a look, even if the bias is toward Aussie cars. Issue 1 had a Mazda 1500, 2 a Fiat Dino (amazingly like a 117 coupe), and 3 has a Mazda RX2 Capella. Really good histories are told.
There may well be a Certain Bellett featured in the future.

Cheers, Matt.

Have been a subscriber since before issue 1 even went on sale.
Is a good read.
And a Bellett is more than a possibility.... ;)

Yes mate, its a beautiful thing! Great feature too.
But we were alarmed that the A.C.C. has now been cancelled, so that was the last issue. (Gary & Gary C. are subscribers).
Cheers, Matt.

Cheers mate. Was happy with how it come out. Is just as we saw it to be at that time.
Is a big shame about it getting axed tho.....
Have spoken to the article author since then about a few things, inc his future (he's safe, as are most. They have transferred onto other projects) and the stuff that came out at PI about the car from people well in the know, and trust me..... If there was another issue, that would have made very interesting reading!

Anyone tried to get a Bellett into that?

We have any number of survivors on here!
