Here is a scan of the "We start Project Bellett" article from Wheels Magazine from July 1965.
The car must have been fairly new as it was a 1965-spec car (no spear through the '1500' badge and the badge is not all-black). No holds barred, the people at Wheels Magazine fitted a set of extractors, a hot cam, twin carbies and a choice set of chrome stockies!
The article has been scanned fairly large so you can read it clearly. Unfortunately the first and second pages of the article have a picture of the Bellett that stretches between the two pages and as a result that picture is quite distorted. I'm not about to un-stitch my magazine, so it will have to do.
I wonder if DAS-111 still exists? Probably not given the final line of the article; 'Oversteer is the final characteristic, but everything can be corrected with small steering deflections and MORE POWER'!
