| The Bellett 1600GT was well received on its release in April 1964 as the first car in Japan to be given the GT label (meaning gran turismo, or grand tourer), which refers to the genre of cars that are designed to be driven at high speeds for long distances. Subsequent versions included a fastback and GTR, and it came to be known by the nickname "Belle G". 1600GTs remain in practical use while being looked after carefully by enthusiast clubs. |
