Ok guys here's something interesting.

A few weeks ago, a guy emailed my mate Craig Fordham; he's the guy with the 1960s Colts who came to the Adelaide Bellett Nationals in 2009.

The guy found Craig online and offered him a cache of NOS parts "make an offer".

Craig offered him $300.00 for the lot and then didn't hear back. Next thing, they were on ebay and sold for about $375 (not to Craig, unfortunately). There was good stuff there; parts, lenses, badges.

Anyway, in his original email, he told Craig he had EVEN MORE Bellett stuff so Craig forwarded his email to me with his approval.

So I emailed him and asked what he wanted for the Bellett parts. No answer.

I emailed him again. No answer.

Like, not even a cursory "I'm going to put them on eBay".

Anyway, that's what he's done. The first lot went up in the last few hours:

All parts are N.O.S.

Washer switch:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bellet-belle ... 2a208c8fef


Bumper over-rider:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bellet-Belle ... 2a208ca0cc


Florian headlight glass (looks to be an early, non-pointy one)"
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bellet-isuzu ... 27c9a95c19


Bellett GT-S badge... which I don't think is from a Bellett at all...
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bellet-isuzu ... 2a20e0edfc


Oil cap:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bellet-isuzu ... 27c9a979f0


What I propose is this; don't fight with each other on these. The guy obviously wants to maximise his sales, but given that we're all friendly with each other here, it stands to reason that there's no point inflating his gains and paying too much for stuff.

Obviously I'm dark I didn't get it as a job lot but this isn't about revenge. Ok maybe a little bit, but either way he's going to get more for the parts overall than I was going to be able to afford.

It's up to you guys, but I would recommend that if you fling a bid on this stuff, mention it here. Then it will be up to others if they want to bid against you or let it slide.

If you don't put it here, then people are going to bid against you... and you may pay more.

Not every Bellett enthusiast is on this site, but a lot are, so we will see how this goes.

Cheers,



Dave

Try and keep it all to this thread so we don't end up having to search multiple threads before we bid.

I don't think the badge is Bellett either, could be wrong.

There's nothing here really 'desirable' or must-have though in my opinion.

These parts are the tip of the iceberg, i am certain.

I am not entirely sure that any of the early, flat-front Florians survive. Can anyone confirm this?

Biong! 18 bids! :lol:
Well, he was bound to have a popular item eventually, there are plenty who would like a genuine chrome accepting screen seal. (I'm not bidding.)

On the Florian glass, The only early one I know of is the chopped-up shootin buggy. :(
I thought I might get it at $20, as even though it's the wrong glass for my model, it's better than no glass. And if anyone ever needs it we'll all know where it is.

I'm with Dave on not competing over stuff, if you really want something, lets know & I'll keep fingers off. ;)

Cheers, Matt.

Guys,
Please correct me if I am wrong, but don't those window rubbers look too square on the corners?
At least the top corners are rounded, not square as they seem to be in the photos!! The rear of the GT corners are rounded, the sedan are more square looking.
When I saw them I doubted he had it right unless they are in "ISUZU" branded packaging/cartons??

What exactly are those indicators?

The round, orange lens looks to be a teardop indicator...

The larger one looks to be a Florian item.

The bottom one looks like some kind of side marker light??!?!? Off what?

Am I missing something?
