Isuzu Bellet 1600GT. Innes Motors in Kamo were the agents for Isuzu and the princple owned a yellow one. They were a little different in the back window treatment and were 2 door. This must just be a standard saloon which would be 1500 cc

Also all GM agents had a parts book for them.
They were a neat little car, I got my drivers licence in one.
Aussies loved them, not exactly a GM-H but still a GM

I thought this whole site would know it was a Bellett! My Mum had a new one for a test for a couple of days. The only reason she did not buy it was cos she didn't like the bench seat. It went really well, I was impressed, always had a soft spot for them
Pre 65 with twin cam Piazza (bolts straight in)?

[color="#0000FF"]Doesnt sound like you to tweak the rulebook like that, was that pre 65 Piazza head a GC inspiration?
Kicked myself as soon as I saw the Bruce McLaren bit, watched that parade on TV. Guess the old age axiom is true, cant remember what I did 2 months ago, but 30 years is no problem! [/color]

From memory David Brabham drove it in the St Marys trophy as well. Its owned by a couple in Sydney.

If you don't know the rules you can make comments like that! I have known about the swapability (how about that for a new word) of Isuzu stuff for donkeys. Never thought to mention it to him, maybe I should ask tomorrow! Barry has a coupe if you didn't know, which I guess you did.

No, Barry has always been a little reluctant to tell me what he's up to, always wants to know what I am doing but with the above mentioned convenient memory loss I cant help him!!
