This Western Australia based XJR popped up on Gumtree Australia in July 2023, asking $28,000. Prices have held strong for these, particularly since Covid.. The XJR V8 is one of the ultimate luxury performance sedans of the era, and would out run many of the HSV/FPV Australian equivalents in a straight line (but presumably cost a bit more new as well). This example is finnished in black on black...

This is the second custom Studebaker Daytona pickup we've come across - the other one is similar but different, making use of the whole C pillar ( see it here). This one, the seller noted, was based on a Studebaker Daytona Sedan. They've done an interesting 'fintail' on the back guards, and strangely, the trunk lid is the same size. This would be a great project to continue the work and make it a...

This Austin 7 Chummy of 1926 has been sitting for a few years, but is complete, and asking $4,000 AUD in Mid 2023. These are quite rare, and in good condition can pull high 20s in AU, perhaps higher overseas. Nice project, but a big project! See the other Austin 7s on the Austin 7 register.

This rare MG ZT190 was advertised on Facebook Marketplace in mid 2023.. This one has relatively low Ks (under 150k), and looks in reasonable condition, and was asking just $7,000 at the time it was sold. Nice example. and I think the only one we have on the register.

This 1275 L has been fully restored and was advertised on Gumtree Australia in July 2023, asking $39,990. Its a strong price, but this car has obviously had a lot spent on it and is immaculate condition. It's not completely original (twin tanks not original, along with bonnet stripes and the trim is made from an aftermarket cloth), but this has been very tastefully done. The car was located in...

This 77 Leyland Mini LS has been nicely restored (not a body off job, but still a vey good job).. This is the 998cc variant of the LS - the high spec Australian mini of the late 1970s - and the penultimate year of production if you exclude the Moke variants. This car was asking $27,500 in July 2022. Mid 20s for an LS in this condition is quite reasonable. Originally, the car would have had a...

This 1986 Nissan 300C Brougham was advertised on FB marketplace in July 2023, asking $8,000 AUD. The Brougham was based on the Cedric, and shares the same features of the luxury saloon for the Australian market. It's basically a Japanese Fairland.. Safe to say that it would likely be far higher quality than an 80s fairlane (and slightly more compact). But it does lack a V8 engine option...

This very original factory auto Gazelle was on FB marketplace asking just $6.500 AUD in July 2023. I think that's a pretty good price considering the condition looks fairly good although to get it on the road you would probably need to spend a couple of K. The S12s didn't have the benefit of the SR20 engine, and in SOHC form (like this one example), only had about 100kw. So, it would be a fairly...

Rare to see, RHD example of the Montreal - spotted on FB marketplace in July 2023, asking $220,000. I haven't looked at the market for these for at least 2 years, and back then they were around 150K, so things have certainly changed. Cool original colour, these things are very stylish and actually quite quick.

This great example was advertised on FB marketplace in July 2023, asking just $15,000 USD.. It looks in excellent condition, and in need of no work.. Can't complain at that price - it wasn't too long ago that people would pay $7K for a wreck, and it would cost you triple that to get a wreck into this condition. Very few details noted by the seller in the original ad - other than it's a 259 V8...

Hard to tell what this one is like as the ad only has one image.. Spotted on FB marketplace in July 2023, asking $4,500. The seller described it as needing restoration but having a clean frame and nicely shutting doors.. This is the N model, fitted with the small block 283 chev from the factory. Very rare, and looks to either be a dark Green, Blue or black - can't tell from the photo.Quite a few s...

Classic Leyland Mini Sunshine - spotted on FB marketplace in July 2023, asking $13,000. Looks very original, maybe a bit rusty - bit one of very few left from the late 1970s. Seller stated in the original ad: "Was running well as a city car lots of stuff done, Extractors suspension brakes and head, All before it blew a piston ring! Car is original condition with a few bits n pieces as well. Car...
