Redwarf Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 It is indeed. I used to have a pair of Belletts myself. 2 x 67's. One of them still had the plastic on the back doors. :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Fiat 500MK1 Cortina 2 door And the many vw beetles I see there please :blush: The car I would really love 99% of the people would not know, As a hint - It was made in Brisbane and there is one at the QLD museum. No one likes to guess :jamie: It is the Lloyd Hartnett. http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/info/car/garage/features/hartnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are crazy cool......love small manufacturers that are part of Australian automotive history, much like the Adelaide built Lightburn Zeta, what I would do for one of those. My late Nanna bought one new! 3 forward gears and 3 reverse gears!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeAE71 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Just buy it, once it's bought and home it's too late. I have done this trick many times - yes you go without special cuddles but the car is worth it!! She will get over it and you still have the car. Winner winner chicken dinner :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavclassic Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Toyota 700!, not as rare as you might think there's actually quite a few lying around. Al Palmer used to race one in the 70's powered by a hot 3K. He used to blow away Cooper S's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 So this isn't actually a wrecking yard but someones personal back yard? Don't really think it is a good idea to post pics up of rare cars he has on a public forum as it is advertising what he has, Sure anyone could just walk into the yard or drive past and see what he has but I don't think it is right, My dad keeps his holding yard pretty discreet and it still gets theft but if I put pics up and someone seen what they wanted I am sure they wouldn't stop at a no trespassing sign.

ratiara Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 yeah people theft from here but it a case of this yard is guarded 5 nights a week with a shot gun but which nights and i wouldnt want to be shot at you have been warned !!!! and i heard someone bragging about theft from there but dudley other brother heard it and past it on next time he came out dudley made him pay for the parts and kicked him out and told never to come back either The yard is open on Saturday mornings for people to buy parts off the cars there or to buy whole cars, but not the ones that Dudley doesn't want you to. So it is a public wrecking yard for 5 hours a week or by special appointment. If anyone theives.....look out, there is no negotiation.
