Hi all, my name is Michiel from Amsterdam and I have bought a 1972 Florian last week. It was supposed to go to a UK collector, but he still hadn't picked it up due to health problems, I stepped in to offer some help and now I own it...
Somehow old Japanese cars fascinate me, I've owned a 1969 Corolla Sprinter in the past and I hope to drive my Isuzu a lot, after I (or a garage mechanic more probably...) fix it up - it's been standing for a few years. I'll try to post something about the car soon in the appropriate section and you might see some 'parts wanted' ads appear, but for now here's a pic and a link to my flickr-account which is filled with assorted car pics, brochure scans etc.

And that's it for now. Almost forgot: great forum! I know it's no Bellett but there's no Florian forum anywhere, or is there?

congratulations i love the old florians particular red ones! make sure you post plenty of pictures of it as you fix her up!

Great, and ahoy there in holland. But florian is such a close relative ( and fascinating ). Welcome and enjoy !

B.

That is awesome dude!

I keep trying to convince my wife that she needs a Florian... Unsuccessfully though.

Keep the flame alive!

Nice to see someone saving a florian. Not many left in Aus, sadly. There used to be quite a few around. Handy that many parts are the same as Chev Luv. Dick (username) will probably be able to supply parts for you locally.
Have fun, Matt.

Thanks guys - I have found period pics of Bellels and Belletts in Holland but no Florians yet... wonder how many were sold here.

Dick has been of help already, but the parts I really need (front wings) are sadly unavailable here. Oh well, there's always Finland/USA/Australia and indeed the LUV connection!
