I had been in contact with the Dufour brothers. They bought the car when they were students and used it to visit their family by example . That is why the photos were made in 1964. On a motorway the chain broke and the Dufours parked the not drivable car. Unfortunately there were some hooligans who wrecked the loveley and unusual Belcar. As Students the Dufour brothers the didn´t want to spend money in a curious vehicle like this, and put it on a scrapyard.
