1965 Isuzu Bellett 1600GT and 1500 sedan - UK promo photo

Post by dave »

Although undated, this photo features an early model PR90 Bellett 1600GT and a 1965ish Bellett sedan (showing a black and cream grille badge rather than the purely black grille badge of the pre-1965 models).

While it appears no more than a handful of Belletts made it to the UK, presumably this photo features numbers one and two in the country! Truth be known, it's possible this photo was not taken in the UK at all and the press release was slightly misleading, but if it is correct then it's a very interesting bit of history.

Here is the reverse side; as it turns out, the Bellett sedan, along with the GT, were NEVER made available for distribution!
