Here's another brochure that has found it's way from Canada; the faint stamp on the front cover showing it is from "Winnipeg CMI", dealers of Toyota, Isuzu and Alfa Romeo!
This brochure was printed in Japan, with Japanese people enjoying their left-hand-drive Belletts, but strangely the English seems to make more sense than it does in some of the RHD, English-language brochures!
This early model Bellett appears to be the 1965 model; it has the black and blue grille badge rather than the solid black badge.

This brochure has lots of pics that spread across the both pages. As a result, I've put a version showing the brochure as it would be viewed, plus some detail scans so you can see the stuff close up.

Here's the scoop on the beautiful 1965 Bellett 1500 LHD Deluxe. In fact, the majority of the brochure focuses on the Deluxe which is interesting, as it was certainly not the volume seller here in Australia.

This classy interior is reminiscent of the 1964 interiors on the RHD cars.

The dashboard on the LHD Deluxe features the Darth Vader-like under-dash heater that was replaced by something less sinister on the later models.

More text that makes a strange amount of sense for a Bellett brochure. Of interest is the scale model the Japanese man is toying with on the rear parcel shelf! Cool!

The base-model Bellett 1500 sedan, called the "Standard" in this brochure, shows that it was still supplied on a set of nifty set of white walls.

Again, another page on the Standard which appears to have also been supplied with a heater as standard equipment.

Another fascinating brochure from the people that brought you the rarest car in the world with the most amount of versions! And brochures!
Could you see Isuzu advertising anything else but themselves ?? Maybe the byproduct of their individality was a hole in the head !!
