Hi All
BCCV was recently approached to see if there was anybody in the Bendigo area who could visit a guy named Eric there.
Eric has terminal cancer and is not expected to live for a lot longer and he used to have a Bellett himself back in the 60's. The family told us he is always talking about his beloved Bellett. Unfortunately we have no Bendigo members.
Three cars piloted by Brett, Craig (2 GT's) and myself (Sport), drove up in the rain I might add, to find a sunny Bendigo and met Eric. Eric was very surprised to say the least, to see a Bellett again and had many stories to tell of his life with a Bellett.
The extended family welcomed us as one of their own and treated us to a lovely lunch and nibbles. A great day, spoilt by rain on return trip also. Around 400km trip, no issues with the cars.
Glenn

Good on you guys, that was a really nice thing to do. No doubt he had a great day of reminiscence.
Nice to see the mask grille in your Sport mate, I seem to remember you having a version 3 grille before?
Keep on getting them out, that's where they shine!
Cheers, Matt.

Cheers, Matt. Thats the same type as it had when I got it. The original one though had been painted with a brush by the look of it. (the plastic sections) In the boot though was a brand new in plastic, surrounds pair. So that's what it 'sports' now
