"McLaren" & "Brabham" Bellett's

[PR91]

Hi all.
This link sent to me a while ago by a mate who owns a Hillman Imp GT, and was searching for racing stuff when he stumbled across this:

I already knew that there was 3 Bellett's imported to the England in the day, that being 2 Sedans and a lone GT, and that the GT was used as a race car (pretty successfully by John Sprinzel), but i never realised they raced a Sedan as well... and with a very well known driver too.

The write-up about the GT when it was for sale much later in life is interesting too, with regard to who race prep'ed it.

Enjoy!!

That is a top find. Is this the same photo that Dave posted in the Bellett History section of the forum?

Is Hotwire a member of this forum?

i don't think he is.
i had this sent to me in about may or june 08, so it's been around for a while.

btw 65, maybe a mclaren car would look good??
it's the right model...

I found another reference to the McLaren Bellett in an online book called Motor Racing at Goodwood in the Sixties By Tony Gardiner. Some good info and a nice little pic.
