umm?

Isuzu Bellett GT-R.

Thanks, Alan. I have quite a few pics of it, would it be a 60's car? ANd do you know what sort of motor it ran?

From September 1969.

Engine was the G161W twin-cam 4cyl 1600cc ( 8 valve )similar to that used in the Isuzu R6 sports racers.

They were raced by Isuzu with some success.

Alan's quick! In Australia we didn't get the GT-R, but we did get the tamer models (from 1964-69). Later replaced by the Gemini - I know which one I prefer!

Hell yeah. Love the looks of the Bellet. There's a VERY rusty 2 speed auto example sitting out the back at my mates place. If it hadn't rusted away so much I would have rescued the thing by now.

Thanks Alan, Lachlan, a wealth of knowledge coming from everywhere! A neighbor of only a few streets away has one i think, and its not in an un-salvageable condition - it looks like one of those single-owner cars [that we all look out for], as the old man that drives it, im told, has been in it for years.

The ancestor to the gemini!? What happened to the sinuous styling, id take the bellet any day...

I was thinking about this situation, the other day, that australia is a damn lucky country. We were the only market in the world [as i believe - correct me..?] that recieved the s54 skyline, and one of the lucky ones that got the c110. It sounds like a similar case with the bellet, im interested to know if there are any others of significance? Cheers,

Tom

I'm not sure if anywhere else got them (dont imagine so), but we got the Mazda RX2,3,4 too Unfortunately, later we weren't so lucky (we never got the 2 seater S130, Z31 or Z32).

Yeah, the mazdas were on the tip of my toungue too! There arent any more that i can think of, either, but i think this picture was posted too long ago now for people to take notice of the question posed....ah well, cheers for your comment

It could be a nice topic on the forums though
