Rare 2-door 6 cylinder Commander, spotted on Facebook Marketplace in January 2023. This one looks in really good condition, and has clearly been restored in recent years. The seller at the time simply noted: "No rust, like new, moving and no place for it". AT $7,500 USD in this condition, it's a hard price to argue with. See the original listing here.

People go mental for anything that's classic Skyline, and this modified example has bids over $50,000 AUD on Ebay Australia when spotted in January 2023. This particular car has been modified with a VG30ET engine - the 3L V6 from a 300ZX, with a Z31 box. Looks right at home in the engine bay, and mated to a 5-speed transmission, this thing would go a lot better than the original 240K engine (as...

It's been a solid year or so since I've seen one of these come up for sale. Asking $6,000 negotiable, this example was advertised on Facebook Marketplace in January 2023 and was described by the seller as a fairly solid example. The seller noted that the car has been in storage for over 10 years, with no bad rust in the body (only in the beaver panel). this one has the rally pack 5 speed manual to...

Unfortunately, this one is a statutory write off so cannot be registered - one less of these great cars on the road in Australia. It will surely make a great parts car, with lots of very expensive parts, so it will be interesting to see what it sells for (spotted for sale on Lloyds Auctions in January 2023). This is a very late example of the series 1 car, which had already adopted many of the...

Great LS project popped up on Facebook Marketplace recently, located Melbourne, Australia. Asking a very reaosnable $10,000, the car is a projectr with the typical late model Leyland rust, but it's all there, and it appears to have its original engine still fitted. Awesome project for someone who is looking to restore something rare to original specs. Everything is there, just needs a lot of TLC...

Only the second one added to Classic Register - this one a little rougher than the first example: These are now quite rare cars (or always have been in Australia) , beinhg the top performance model in the Astra range, and a great performance hatch of the early 00s.. Astra had already gone the Turbo route whereas many other makes had stuck with the NA 2.0l engines, meaning these little rockets were...

What a colour, and on Bruno Sacco's finest car. This 500 SL from 1992 was advertised on Facebook Marketplace in January 2023 asking $41,990. The R129 never really dropped much below $25K, and Covid has seen the average asking price push over $40 K, so it's not bad value, especially for a low km example like this. The car looks immaculate with just 157,000 km in its 30+ years. No doubt it would...

These have become somewhat a forgotten performance hatch of the early 00s, but I think they deserve some attention. The Astras were one of the best looking hatches of their era - certainly the best proportioned hatch of the time, and combined with a decent body kit, lowered, and a performance turbo engine, there's a lot to like about these 20-year old hot hatches.. This one came up on Facebook...

Just clinging to life, this 998 LS was advertised on FB marketplace in January 2023 asking $3,000. The car is a wreck, with floors and roof rusted through very badly - common on the LS as it had a vinyl roof.. Due to poor record keeping toward the end of Leyland's time in Australia, it's not known how many 998 LS Minis there were built. Silver Blue was a popular colour and constituted most of them...

All the way over in Perth WA, this CL600 from 1997 would be one of perhaps just a handful of C140 V12s delivered new in Australia. The C140 is rare enough in standard V8 form (the lowest production S class coupe), but to see a V12 is exceptional - I think we've only seen one or two other V12 coupes in Australia up for sale in the last 5 or so years. This one looks immaculate with just 120,000km on...

Spotted this on a site called https://picturecarwarehouse.net/ - seems to be asking just $400 - but I'm not sure how authentic that asking price is. This was advertised as a Daytona Sports Sedan, but on closer inspection it appears to be a 2 door Commander (from what we can see of the trim). Unsure of what engine it has, or any description of its rust situation (other that what is revealed by the...
