Nice looking cars! Gees you drive on the wrong side of the road as well!

[Stickman]

Beautiful teardrops
I like the look of the cloth inserts in the seats in your dads car. Very cool.
The black beetle in the background looks very tidy too.

[Bellett Sweden]

Thanks for the comments! And no we drive on the right (right) side of the road.
Some pictures of my 66 that I took this weekend after a much needed wash.


Also some books.

[Farmer]

Great to see, and yes it is always asurprise for us to see the steering on that side of the car.
Your cars are so nice and original. My automatic deluxe is the same model, early '66 here.
Beautiful!

Thanks for coming on here and showing us. Are there many Belletts in Sweeden?
Cheers, Matt.

Great pictures

thanks for putting them up for us. Hang onto them. Your cars are really rare. Most cars with the steering wheel on the wrong side don't pass quality control

[Bellett Sweden]

Farmer: It's just fun to show the cars for someone who understands what it is for car, we only have about 15 cars left in Sweden so no one understands what it is...We have 6 of the 15.
Yellow peril: No it is you who have the steering wheel on the wrong side!!
All our cars look like this! My 68 Volkswagen bus.

Bullitt: Now it became difficult...

[Bellett Sweden]

cant they spell ..... instruktion book ........ should be instruction book .... ????

Of course we can, that's right, a little Swedish lesson :
Instruktionsbok = instruction book Not so hard right?


Soon will you know why we collect on these cars... exciting huh?

[Farmer]

Exciting, yes!
You lucky (or dedicated) fellows, owning almost half of the population!
Please show and tell!
Cheers, Matt.

And now begins the history lesson
it's my grandfather who was general importer for Isuzu Swedish AB thats why my father began collect the cars in order to preserve the history of the late 90 century.
Here are some Old pictures.

Here type grandfather agreement with Eikichi Ohashi Isuzu motors Ltd Tokyo

Of loading in the port of Malmö, note the car in the air grandfather to right the boat's captain to the left.

The show room in Malmö



An exhibition somewhere probably in Malmö racetrack


Dad's model cars that he got in 1966 by his father.



The missing car ... this grandfather bought for himself and drove with one year, it was sold and has not been seen since then, where is it now ????? a 1600 GT.

[Bellett Sweden]

Farmer we know where the most of the cars is and some are for sale but we have no more space.
But this will soon be taken from a scrap in Stockholm.



Bullitt I would love to see some pictures of it , sounds fun!
we are vw nutters basically, but with the family so it was some Belletts also.
Here are pics of Herbie just for you!

It came to Sweden 21 February 1966 but I do not think it is a deluxe...?

the story is great fun .
I have been told that there were three different models ,
Deluxe 1 = no chrome trim , tinted windows or fabric in the seats.
Deluxe 2 = chrome trim tinted windows front and rear no fabric in the seats
Deluxe 3 = chrome trim tinted windows all around and the fabric on the seats as in the pictures.

But i could be wrong...
