Hi

Just to keep you guys in the loop the Bellett is now on eBay.

Many thanks to the members of the forum that came to view the car and telephoned offering advice and assistance.

Theu auction is scheduled to run for ten days. The reserve has been adjusted slightly. Thank you to those that offered to purchase the vehicle before auction and best of luck with the bidding.

If you have any specific questions feel free to call me on 0417 506 567.

regards

Steven

It's a nice car, Steven, lots of hours in there. Hope you get the right money for it. Sorry I'm not cashed up to bid! Maybe the new owner will get it to Coonabarabran, please point 'em.
Cheers & thanks for all the details.
Matt.

Its a real pity you cant keep the car in the family, Steve.

There are really not too many in that condition still being driven around.

Sure wish i had a spare 10K laying about.

Hope it goes to a real good home.

Now up to 10.6K with 11 hours to go, heres hoping it goes to a person who will look after and not race it and so on!!!
Steve's father was Peter Lyons, a really nice Gut and put a lot of time into that car!!!
Peter was at, at least 2 of the Nationals held in Canberra.

so does anyone know where all the sedans and other stuff that Peter had accumulated over the years of Bellett'ing end up?
Must have been quite a collection going by the effort on the GT...

It went for $12,350...wow! More than 4 grand more than I was prepared to go. Good luck to whomever got it!

very happy with what i spent on my resto then!!

good luck to the new owner/s. hope it's back in 1 piece and on the road soon.

Does anyone know who ended up with this GT?
We should stay in touch with them if we can find out!!

Brett W, who carries your Insurance on your GT?
Mine is with NRMA Classic, rates are good but possibly under Insured??

If another one sells in a similar fashion (eg: $10k+ non-runner 90% restored... or more for a running restored or mint original) then we could consider it a trend and we all might need to speak to our insurers...

I put mine up a bit when we had that trend of dodgy cars go for $6-7k a year or so ago. I think it's on for $8000. Paid $5000 for it, but have spent a fortune just stopping the thing from dying!

Mine's dodgy. But it runs. Sort of.
