This is one of the saddest 242 GTs we've seen. Located in Sydney, Australia, it was asking $1500 AUD in May 2023.. It has severe rust, and you'd have to be a very serious enthusiast panel beater to want to take it on and restore.. I suspect that sadly this example won't see a rebuild, but will likely be parted out or bought for parts on another more solid project base. Anyway, it's great to be...

10 years ago I wouldn't have thought the AU XR8 (series I) would be a classic.. But there is a sense of V8 simplicity to this car, reflective of earlier V8 Aussie sedans. Other than a nose cone, spoiler and some red striping, there's no substantial body kit to the Series 1, so it has quite a clean profile, which over the years has become increasingly attractive to me.. That combined with the...

A survivor early Group A rally Celica, one of my favourites.. Looks a little rough for the claimed Ks, but could be cleaned up fairly well and a worthwhile investment, give how rare these early GT4s are. These were extremely successful rally cars in their day, and there are many rally wins attributed to the ST165. The compact and boxy nature of this series adds to their late 80s character, before...

Third one spotted for sale in Australia, the rare Volvo C70 coupe, finished in Saffron Pearl Metallic Paint . The seller noted there were just 145 finished in this colour from the Belgium Factory, with only a few making it into Australia. I presume only a handful? The engine is the B5234T3 T5 2.3 litre Turbo, which produces 177 KW, being More power than the 850 R model!. Was advertised with new...

A rare unrestored example spotted on Facebook marketplace in March 2023 ,, in Sydney NSW. This example was asking $17,000 at the time - looks to need a full restoration, but seems quite saveable.. Presumably in its original silver, it has had the vinyl roof removed and the metal looks good. Great project for a car that would be worth closer to $80K restored.

A very original example of the popular Mini S in its original Yellow Peril paint - this example spotted on Facebook Marketplace in March 2023 asking $13,000.. These used to be dirt cheap, but are now starting to bring decent money even in average original condition. Not many around unmodified now, so thought it worthwhile to get this one on the register. Has its original wheels which were original...

Imported to UK November 2022 and now starting the restoration. Desperately trying to find out when the car was manufactured to help the UK registration as didn't come with any South African registration papers

1994 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution II GSR. Purchased and imported by Top Rank Importers in March of 2020. Car is currently located in Yuma, AZ in a private collection. One of approximately 5,000 made.

Awesome low mileage example of the final year XJS - a car that has its roots in the late 1970s! This one isn't a Celebration special edition, and appears to be a standard convertible, finished in Sapphire Blue with Oatmeal leather trim. There were many styling adaptions made to these late 90s Jags (from wider tail lights to body kits as standard), and I think they look great. This example was...

A neat example of the Fairlane Sportsman, advertised on gumtree.com.au in February 2023. Many of these AU Fairlane's held up well over the years, and this one has relatively low mileage for the type of car. A nice two-tone old school paint finish with black leather, it looks the part, and is by far my favourite model of Fairlane based on interior looks - Very Lincoln like.. This example has the...

These X308 Jaguars look best in white. This example is an XJR fitted with the 4.0l supercharged 6-cylinder, providing a very decent 216kw of power. With relatively low Ks, unsurprisingly when we spotted this one for sale in February 2023, it was asking $42,990 AUD. These were an exceptionally popular car in th 1990s, and it seems that they sold particularly well in Australia (including the XJR...
