This rare RHD Nash Metropolitan was spotted for sale on Gumtree, and Car&classic in April 2022. The car is very complete, comes with a huge amount of spares, and rust doesn't look too bad.. This would not be a difficult project - and having it in RHD is such a bonus considering so many are imported as LHD from the US, where they can usually be purchased for a fraction of normal prices here in Aus...

Always surprised by how many of these have survived, and some in great condition too. This TRX was advertised via Lloyds auctions in April 2022, and at the time I spotted it, bids had only just got underway at over $6,000, with 17 days to run. These are classic Nissans of the 80s - and who could forget George Fury's lap record from Bathurst in the Nissan Brick.. Just a shame we never received the...

This 1972 180B SSS was advertised on Facebook Marketplace in April 2022, asking $38,000. It's one of the most expensive SSS coupes we've seen to date, but not particularly surprising considering the work the seller has done, and the genera; market for these cars at the moment. At the time of sale, the seller made the following comments: "Expression of interest. L18 engine fully reconditioned no...

Haven't had an RS2000 on the register in a while - this example was spotted for sale on Facebook Marketplace in April 2022 asking $25,000. It's the rare 2-door, and is stated by the seller to be a matching numbers original car. Being a Ford, the engine number should match the car number. The car has its original factory 4-speed manual, and 4 X 15" Bathurst Globe style wheels. Plenty of rust which...

This one is another early Australian delivered car, being a December 1993 built 500 SEC. This sold via Grays Auctions online for $17,000 in April 2022, and looks to be a reasonably tidy example for its age - and low Ks for the age. There was another with over 300K on the clock asking around 15k on gumtree not that long ago. Keeping track of these, particularlyy the Australian delivered cars...

Very rare, this is an Australian delivered example of the 240C (called the 260C in South Africa where it was fitted with a 2.6 apparently). I love this body style - mustang like tail lights and nicely integrated bumpers. One of the best looking luxury Japanese coupes of the time. We saw this one advertised for sale probably 3-4 years ago, asking about $13,000 - quiclly snapped up and up for sale...

This is the Canadian Daytona that was offered for sale with the R1 Daytona Hardtop project (see the R1 Daytona project here). The cars were offered together as a package for $7,500 USD. The seller at the time noted that thius one was not worth saving.. I beg to differ - all Daytonas are worth saving!! Not great images available for this one, but we've got the VIN on the list, so great to have...

This Daytona R1 project was advertised via a facebook group in April 2022. The car appears to originally be Strato Blue, and the seller provided the VIN number, and was certain it is a genuine R1 car. The car needs a bit of body work but is very saveable (and as a genuine R1, is certainly worth saving). The car was offered as a package with a second parts car, another 2-door Daytona hardtop - a...

Spotted this last of the species Daytona online in April 2022 - located in Indiana USA, asking $12,000USD. The car looks very clean and preserved, with the seller suggesting ithas just 35,000 Miles on the clock. This is a great opportunity to get into an immaculate looking and very rare 1966 Studebaker Daytona. The 64-66 cars, in my opinion, are the best looking of all the late model Bakers.. We...

Found this White Lightning 3-door on a Laser forum on Facebook, posted by a guy that just picked it up as a project and was starting work on it. Good to hear it was going to be saved, you never see these cars nowadays. Unfortunately, the build number of 300 wasn't shared on the post.. Nonetheless, one for the archives here on Classicregister.

A competitor to the Datsun 180B (and seemingly more rare), this Australian delivered MKII looks in great condition, spotted on facebook marketplace in April 2022, asking $32,000. That's the most expensive one we've ever seen. Images are not great, bit show the car to be complete and in good order. This has to be one of the best coupe shapes of the early to mid-1970s - when some great stuff came...

This project 180B SSS was advertised on Facebook marketplace asking $12,000 in April 2022. The car has been painted yellow - but if you look at the overspray in the engine bay, I think it may have originally been black. The brown seats fitted in the front and rear I also presume are not original - given the carpets and the door trims are all blue - which surely wouldn't have been matched with...
