Guys, This is a nice car, very original and has been kept in good order. In fact if my wife was car motivated I would have bought the car by now for myself, before any of you knew about the car for sale!!
Drives very well and I have had a bit to do with it over the last 10 years or so. Certainly a good example and in original condition, obviously it may need a complete respray eventually as it it still in the original paint work. Mark had it at CARnivale' this year and a couple of years at NRMA Motorfest previously.
Buy well, Dave M.

"Purchased from WA in November 2003 with 94,000 miles on clock "
Well, well well...that's like literally only the second Bellett I've ever heard of in WA, the other was another 1966.5 (dark blue) that I remember reading about online that had a total, total big-dollar resto about 15 years ago, but I haven't seen since.
We literally have no members in WA and I think Brett Wild said to me they never got much of a guernsey over there; did they even have a sales distributor or dealer? If they did, they didn't do too well.
Pity it's not still there for history's sake... but better off it be here so someone can appreciate it and know what it is!

well spotted Geoff I reckon the sedan (not your one ) is an earlier shot as the trees in background are shorter (yes they could have cut them but also the ones in the back of the pic ) wonder where it went maybe you could ask the son ??? I thought then it may now be marvos but his has no venetians .now has a towbar and a little different colour theres a job for you mate yours looks great cheers davo

I've sold it on to a mate along with all my spare parts including lenses and bits so it will see the road again with a Florian motor and possibly a matte black paint job The blue one being dismantled was a thrashed out hex light model that had more bog and rust than actual paint and metal so no great loss!

Hey all, Have had an off shore offer to buy and ship to NZ so last chance to stay in Australia is mid next week as I'm tempted with offer if no one from club steps up. They see the 50 year history of Bellett as important too. Tickets please…….. Marvo

Congrats Marlo! Glad she sold and I hope you got a good price. Not sure Tassie qualifies as 'over seas' though

Yeah, congrats mate. It was good buying, so I knew it wouldn't take long. Hopefully this means the car will be in the line up at the Nats Cheers Matt.
