context_page_description: The Isuzu Bellett is a subcompact car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Isuzu between 1963 and 1973. Designed by Isuzu, the Bellett replaced the Isuzu Hillman Minx, manufactured by Isuzu under license with the Rootes Group.
  The car was available as a four-door or two-door sedan, a rare two-door station wagon marketed as a commercial vehicle, called the Bellett Express, and an even rarer one ton commercial variant marketed as the Isuzu Wasp. There was also a four-door sedan with different bodywork and rear suspension, called the Bellett B. Lastly there was a two-door coupé and a fastback version of the same. After General Motors acquired a stake in Isuzu, the Bellett was replaced by GM's "global" T-car, initially called Isuzu Bellett Gemini and later simply Isuzu Gemini, which technically had little to do with its predecessor. A total of 170,737 original Belletts were manufactured.
  The word Isuzu translated into English means "fifty bells." The nameplate "Bellett" referred to "a smaller Bellel", a previous, larger model manufactured by Isuzu.
context_section_description: The Isuzu Bellett GT', launched in April 1964, was a two-door coupé with a 40 mm (1.6 in) lower height than the sedan, fitted with a twin-carbureted 1.6 L OHV gasoline engine. It was the first Japanese car to be billed "GT" (Gran Turismo). September 1964 saw the arrival of a 1.5 L version of the GT, front disc brakes and some slight modifications to the front fascia. In late 1966 the SOHC 1.6 litre G161 engine with 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) was introduced, a little after the April addition of a fastback body style.
  In 1969 the base engine's power was increased to 95 PS (70 kW; 94 hp), when the GT-R was also added, and in 1970 it was joined by a 1.8 L SOHC engine. There was also a 1500 Sport (1966), essentially a GT but with the two-door sedan bodywork. This was turned into the 1600 Sport in 1968, with the G161 SOHC engine. The 1600 GT was complemented by the 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) 1800 GT in 1970, and after the 1971 facelift the down-tuned 1800 GTN ("N" for Normal) with 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) was added.
