Liz is spot on. GT's are kept these days far more than ever. Mine is just one in that group and will never leave my hands as it will go to my daughter one day. I feel Glenn is on the right track with sourcing a GT these days too. Japan is a much better option. Also i think the values of all Bellett's and Wasp's have gone up like all cars in the classic car world of the last few years, and the massive interest in our cars since the nationals and bellett.net came into being too.

Suprising to me is that we are not sending cars to Japan. Instead of the other way around. Mayb we just don't have enough cars. Gricey

I have found some of these Jap auctions appear a bit strange. Testing the market or really don't want to sell. You follow the auction for a while and then it's pulled off early, only to appear again a few days later. One car in particular i have seen pulled several times.
And ones you might be interested in, don't respond to my guys questions, or promise to give more info but never do.. Frustrating to say the least.
Of course, the whole idea of buying from a few pictures is fraught with danger too !
Want a Piazza? found one listed at $1 ! No bids.

Glenn there is alljap in brisbane we have done business a couple of times. He offered me once to bring stuff/car in if i wanted to and said he has buyers over there? if you like i could pass this info on for you. It may be safer at least you are dealing with someone thats been in business for years? Brett the interest in belletts has been here as long as belletts the net just keeps us close.imho the www made the world smaller

that i don't know for sure. They do have a couple of Aussies in Japan though, but just what they can do I don't know. Depends on what you pay them and where the car is actually located also i guess. Keep in mind I have paid them nothing so far.
