This 94 Swift GTi was advertised on Facebook marketplace in September 2022, asking $11,500. Looks in great condition, finished in factory red, with the seller at the time describing it as possibly the cleanest in the country.. The seller made the following additional comments in the original advertisement at the time: The car presents beautifully inside and out, has surprisingly good performance...

Modern classic, there are so few of these running about despite being such a popular cult car during the early 90s! The twin cam 1.3l engine went very hard in this ultra lightweight package (and even better when the engine was put into classic minis, which is a very popular conversion). This complete running unit was advertised for just $3,500 in early September 2020, and sold within a few days of...

An exceptionally rare car these days, this 262 Bertone coupe was advertised on Facebook marketplace in September 2022 asking $19,000. Bertone made significant changes to the 240 series body, lowering the roofline and increasing the rake of the roof. The cars looked a lot more aero, but also a lot more American.. It was clear that Bertone did this for the US market, and there wouldn't have been too...

Since we're on a bit of a run with French cars, I thought it was about time that I added one of the most popular hot hatches to the register, the Clio 182. Whenever trawling forums to find out what people think of the 206 GTi, everyone says forget it and get one of these instead. I do love a bit of French Racing Blue, and this has to be the best colour they were available in :). This Clio II RS...

I'm suddenly passionate about modern-classic Peugeot's again (something that happens a few times a year), and then this rare white GTi comes up on Gumtree Australia with just 79,000km in September 2022.. Asking $9,800 it's at the high end, but those Ks are extremely low and it looks in good order. Very few details were given in the original advertisement ( which you can see here), but they did...

The first 306 on the register - I always liked these cars, and it's an era for Peugeot that was fantastic from an aesthetic / design perspective (I really think they had some of the best looking cars of the late 90s). This example is the rare GTI-6 - a Phase 2 model, with the 6 speed manual transmission with the 167 bhp XU10J4RS engine and some subtle chassis revisions. Not sure about GTi-6...

Well I've never seen one of these before! This custom 1964 use (which we presume started life as a Daytona of some sort but that's just a giess) was advertised on Favebook marketplace in September 2022 asking $18,500. The car has been significantly modified into a pickup, and looks a little awkward at the rear (might be corrected by improving the rear cover.. I do think they've done a good job...

Spotted this clean solid body for sale on Facebook Marketplace, asking $7,500 USD. This supposedly has no rust in it, and a rebuilt 259 V8. Honestly, this is real value, ast most of the very expensive work isn't required - just paint to go.. If you're a follower of this register, you know we absolutely love the Studebaker Daytonas, but particularly the Hardtops of 1964 - this being an example.. We...

Not too many of these are sitting down in the southern hemisphere - this example an import from the UK (so a ery rare RHD example). The R5 is obiously a famous Renault brand, but the R5 Turbo is one of the more desirable sporting variants that has a heap more character over the original basic hatch. Like most French cars, the approach to the design is a little different in every way Firstly, by...

These late model AMCs are very well styled. Advertised on ebay USA in August 2022, this one was asking $23,000 USD. Love the turbo style wheels which I understand are factoru fitted. At the time this one was offered, the seller made the following comments: AMC has always offered distinctive cars with lower production figures than The Big Three. That's what makes this 1978 AMC Concord AMX so...

This is the first Lotus Excel on the register - one of the most overlooked Lotus cars.. Such great styling and typical of the era, the excel is a rare beast, with just 2,075 built. This example has just under 100,000km, and at the time we spotted it on trademe.co.nz, with a starting bid of $25,000. Not too bad if you got it for that! The seller made the following comments in the original...

Advertised on Ebay USA in August 2022, this Ambassador Custom doesn't look too bad from a distance, but on closer look under the side of the car, those sills don't look too healthy! When I spotted this one, it has less than 24 hours to run, with bids up to $10,000 USD. That's actually fairly strong performance. Great colour combo, continental kit and the famous Nash "Weather Eye" on the dash - a...
