Hey guys,
I don't think this is one JT191 has mentioned in the Events section (which, truth be known, we put there to organise and follow up events, rather than throw photos of events you found off the Net, but having said that, I'm not a Nazi Moderator and really don't care!).
Where was I?
Oh yeah, I found this under this link:
http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/336 ... photo.aspx
So there's the usual fare: some Piazzas:
Some nice 117s:
Here's a Piazza with a slammaged Bellett GT
Here's an Isuzu TX bus, just for Farmer!
This race-spec Bellett was pretty good. Was fitted with a DOHC according to the original caption.
Ok so here's the freakshow. In front of these Isuzu T-series Geminis, the be-winged late-model Piazza (or whatever it is) and long-bonnet PR91 is a little red Bellett GT.
This appears to have the 14" wheels and body coloured window frames of the early, early, early PR90 models, but more than that, it's got the sedan front with GT indicators and bumper mount position.
I've recently discovered that at least one of the pre-production models was red; well, I saw a contemporary article in a Japanese magazine for sale on Yahoo Japan; probably a very early road test.
The number of these PR90 Bellett 1600GTs fitted with a sedan front and teardrop tail lights has been put at about 8 units, having said that I don't remember where that info came from (probably Brett; if that's the case, I don't know where he got it from).
So I wonder if this is one of the pre-production units or just a 'regular' super-early build GT that has copped a sedan front at some stage in the last 45 years....
I want a photo of the back, but no go!
Cheers,
Dave

Hey I found a buttload more.
Some from one guy whose website URL I did not write down and a few more from this guy:
http://gallery.nikon-image.com/18838990 ... 02/photos/
... one of which contains the photo I was after! The Internet can do anything!!!
I've only got time to put one lot of photos down though; just the important ones!
No-go on teardrop tail lights - they are regular PR90-91 items, but there's no denying its an early-build car and pretty well unrestored judging by the trans-hump carpet!!!
The close-up shots show the PR20 sedan grill with wide PR90 grille badge and the narrow badge above it, exactly as on the pre-production models!
Mmmmmm weirdalicious!

Nah UBS I wouldn't know where to start; I just scheme the pictures off the Internet.
