Me too.
I remember when the Isuzu Bellett was released that it was, for its time, a
very quick little car. The young guy (older than me at the time) across the
road had one. I recall looking under the bonnet but because Dad had traded
the Gaylook Mk 8 Minx in on a FB Holden, I didn't notice the similarity in
the engines.
(6 kids plus Mum & Dad used to travel all over the east coast of Australia
in that Minx towing a huge trailer that had originally been built to be
towed behind Dad's earlier '38 Buick. Buggered if I know how he fitted us
all in. It must have been *hell* )
I'm gonna have to hunt down a Bellett (there are some around here) and ask
the driver for look under the bonnet.
