ALMOST! Extinct Cars


Recommended Posts

Why not put the model names with your photos?,not all these cars are identifiable to everyone who reads this thread.

 

+1. It would make it much easier to identify what models you're on about. Nick.

The Isuzu Bellett.  I'm not sure we even got them and in the unlikely event that there are any UK survivors I expect they wouldn't be outside of the Bickle Collection.  I believe there are two or three Isuzu Bellel in the UK and that likely outnumbers the amount of Bellett.

I edited all my posts and added the make/model where it wasn't clear from the picture.

I hope that helps. Please ask if you can't identify a car.

There is a Bellett being raced in classic touring cars in the UK:

I've seen it several times. But it might have been eaten lately by that big bloody motherless Galaxie.

There also was an Oz or Kiwi Bellett visiting the UK last year, but I think that's back home by now.

So for a very brief period in 2012, there were actually at least two Belletts on British soil.

Ah the Bellett reminded me of this...

Mitsubishi Debonair. I'm 80% certain I read the very last UK one was banger raced about 6-7 years ago. I'll try and find where I read it.

Anyone know any different?

Affirmative. The last Debonair known to some J-Tin club was banger raced despite a substantial offer was made to the owner.

 

Have any of these OMGMPG barges survived?

I remember when pplz couldn't get rid of them for 50 quid.

Now I miss them dearly.

Not 'extinct' though, are they?

 

There were ten of them at the last ICCCR and there's a GTI near me that's in regular use.

no i said they "getting there" not completely extinct

Terminology which is regularly used when discussing endangered wildlife on telly, animals on the verge of extinction.. I think that this topic can be extended to include vehicles which are down to single figures and on sorn. Things that were sold in hundreds of thousands which are only surviving in dribbles. What do you think?
