Hey guys,

I just found pics of this factory black, 1965-ish LHD Bellett!!!

The advert says it was last updated on 22/07/13, so fairly recently, although the advert now says, "NOT FOR SALE".

It appears to have an early, 1964-spec grille badge but is lacking the spears on the 1500 badge.









The text on the advert says:

I don't know if this means it's "the actual first" one sold or if that's a mis-translation. But man, it looks pretty good, especially in black!

That bumper sticker on the bumper is pretty awesome too!

No price though; given it's now 'not for sale', I do wonder what amount it went for?

Here's the original link:

love the car the sticker they used to have asimlar one on the back windows of belletts I think one of the forum guys have one on his car ....who has it ?/ also here is the rear shot of rods new teardrop with a sticker which Kerry has a brand new one I havnt yet got around to getting them ....here Is the rear of rods car cheers davo

oh another thing the black teardrop has later bumpers ??? am I right well ok overriders cheers davo

You're right there Davo; bumpers are correct but the overriders are wrong.

I like the old-school over riders better; much slimmer and nicer! If it was mine, I would put the correct overriders on it, and some hubcaps and cruise!!!

Thanks Dave. Amazing if it is the actual first car sold in Finland. One of our members would probably know - they've kept good records I think.
I wonder what the Chassis number is to compare to Gary's?

Cheers, Matt.

hi farmer anything to go by it hasn't got the spear 1500 and not a black badge so garys will be older cheers davo

Davo, the grille badge looks black, but yeah, no 1500 spear. No interior shot, so can't check the door release handles - they are curved in the '64s. Original door trims were different too, with a gathered top to the map pockets. (Gary's still has these.)
Cheers, Matt.

hi matt I wasn't aware of the door handle thing I had some doors off the woodburn bits I picked up and it had the curved doorhandles still on the doors goodness knows where the car went so there were a few left ...we will have to wait and see what turns up next >>> who knows ...??? cheers davo
