This beautiful example of a late model Turbo R was advertised through Classic Trader in January 2023. The car is a great example of the final production year of the Turbo Rs (excluding the "RT" variant), before the Arnage renewed range took over. I don't know much about these later model Turbo Rs, but would assume they are quite a different car to those of the 80s. At the time this Turbo R was...

Finally adding another to the register - this XR8 Spring ED Falcon was advertised on Lloyds auctions Australia in January 2022. I'd expect the car will sell at least in the early 20s. From the images, the car looks in great condition for its age, and someone's clearly looked after it knowing that it was going to be a modern classic. Relatively low Ks, and that classic 90s coloured trim. Love it...

This ultra-rare Australian delivered W140 600 SEL V12 was advertised on carsales in December 2023, asking just $26,500. While the car has reasonable Ks on the clock (315,000), we still think that something like this (and with this colour combo) would be higher - but there's some time to go before people catch onto the collectability of this all time greatest S-class. This is of course the SEL...

This derelict Silver Spirit was sold as part of an enormous estate auction in North-Western Sydney through Lloyds auctions. The auction which the car formed part of was the "Fairfield House", built in 1833. It's an imposing early Victorian era mansion that was originally built for the celebrated Blue Mountains explorer, William Cox. The mansion even hosted an international Cricket Match In 1882...

This one should fetch a decent price - appears to have undergone a full restoration in a non-original red, and overall looks very clean. This Red SSS coupe was advertised on Lloyds auctions in January 2023 - amazing the variety of cars that they get through Lloyds. See the original advertisement here. We've been working hard to retain the details of any SSS that comes up - so many of them have...

This Cortina GT 440 (MK2) was asking a big $60,000 when spotted on Facebook Marketplace in January 2023. The car looks in good order, but we hadn't realised prices were this high. The GT MK2s are one of my favourites as they are basically a miniature Falcon GT - and add those stripes as they did to the Australian models from the factory, and it's a great looking little sports sedan. The 440 was...

They keep popping up online - this poor old 180B wreck was advertised on FB marketplace in January 2023, asking $5,000. Unsurprisingly, it was snapped up very quickly! Looks to be a very original car, but would need at least $15,000 ploughed into it to get it looking the part and to deal with all that rust. It is certainly worth saving despite the rust - these 180Bs are ultra-rare Japanese coupes...

This 89 model Pao was advertised on Facebook marketplace in January 2023, and with just 134,000km on the clock it's surprisingly cheap asking just $9,500 AUD. There are very few of these that have been imported to Australia, and some others we've seen have been asking a lot more in the past. There were around 31,000 of these cars built in total, so globally they are relatively rare - presumably...

There was nothing quite like the 90s when it came to Japanese coupes. Mitsubishi's contribution was the "GTO" (in some markets, referred to as the 3000 GT. These haven't quite taken off at Skyline GT-R prices, but have followed more the prices of high-spec 300ZXs. We spotted this one on Facebook Marketplace n January 2023, at the time asking $18,000. It has around 230,000km on the clock, but...

Super-rare, but perhaps not one of the most desirable HSV variants, I felt it was nonetheless important to document this early VN sports wagon. It passed in unsold on Grays Auctions in December 2022. Unsure of the price at the time I do presume it was in excess of $10,000. Described as being in overall "fair" condition by the seller, it was offered unregistered and looks to have lived a fairly...

It's probably been mentioned before on this site: The AU Fairlane (and LTD) are the closest thing you can get to a Lincoln in Australia. Their styling was very unique, and I think it was a real success compared to its contemporary AU Falcon, whose design was very heavily criticized. It might just be a coincidence, but most of the LTDs I have seen up for sale are 1999 models (perhaps their...

This 85 VK Brock SS was advertised on Carsales.com.au and in several other spots in late 2022 - asking $145,000 AUD. One of the best looking of the 80s SS cars, and I particularly like this in silver (you just see so many in Blue!). The car looks in excellent condition - with a few comments from the seller in the original ad extracted and pasted below: The seller noted that the car was originally...
