1970 Isuzu Bellett GT-R

Isuzu began producing the Bellett in 1963 and would eventually release a GT version and then finally in 1969, the GT-R edition. Technically, the GT-R was known as a GT-Type R (Racing), using the "Type R" name long before Honda. The Bellett GT-R was ahead of its time in many ways. The 1.6L made use of DOHC technology, something that was a rare sight in late 60's Japan. This coupled with power brakes and a distinguished exhaust note make for some of the most spirited driving offered from the era. The Bellett GT-R dominated at Suzuka and Fuji raceways in Japan for years.
