Here is a pic. of my "67 Sedan (which I have known since new) .92,000 miles ,I bought it in about 1989 after the second owner (87 years old, had his Drivers License cancelled) sold it.I have more recently began to recreate my first car - '66 1/2 Bellett ,same colour etc. using this car .Extras incl. 6 x 13 steel wheels ( made the original set myself in 1968), Smiths Tacho (still have the original incl. the housing), Poli air horns (the original set ), small home made steering wheel (I made this in 1969 and still have it - could not afford to buy one at the time ) and hopefully if I can find or buy Smiths 360 degree capillary oil pressure and temperature guages and also a pair of 7" Bosch pencil beam driving lights ('60's style ,I sold the originals to buy some Cibies).I would also like to fit a HMV or Philips (can't remember which ) radio - will have to do some more research!
Interior is in need of some work although it is all original - not worn out ,just weathered.Exterior has just been repainted in its original colour.It has been an interesting project and I reckon that I will end up with something better than just a photo of my first car.
I put up pics of my first Bellett some time back so that you can see what I am trying to recreate - 40 odd years later.
