For sale a 1980 Mk1 Golf 1600cc GTI S1, NZ new. Uber rare collectors car in A1 condition, this has to be one of the best examples of a right hand drive early GTI in the world, it's in standard condition except for BBS RS wheels (original alloy are also included but would benefit from tyres and refurbishment) new Goodyear tires fitted, stainless steel exhaust system, sun roof delete and Alpine...

Restored, now Sandown Red/White roof

Another interesting offering spotted on Grays Auctions - this 929 sedan was the top of the line Mazda at the time and sported some fairly impressive technology in what was the Japanese Car's dominant era (late 80s/early 90s).. At the time we spotted this, it had just a couple of days to go in a no reserve auction at $1,100 - We suspect it will go for at least a few thousand. Normalish Ks for this...

Lovely Low KM example of the LTD spotted for sale on carsales.com.au, asking $20,000 AUD in January 2022.. Covid tax has added some value to these cars for sure! The car is, however, in excellent original condition, and is a rare example of the LTD which you don't come across too often. I love the lincoln styling of the AU Fairlane - makes it my favourite model.. Here's a link to the original...

This MK3 was spotted on an auction site as sold, for a price of GBP17,000 - must have been 5 or so years ago to be that price.. 70,000 odd Miles on the clock, and loolks to be fairly original. The car was advertised through SWVA.co.uk - see the original advertisement here. This excellent example of a Cooper S Mark III was purchased from a P Wright from Hartlepool in October/’97 She came with a...

This Antelope Beige MKIII Cooper S was advertised by Richard Williams Classic Minis - see the original advertisement here. Not sure exactly when it was advertised, but the site confirms the car ,sold for GBP 27,495.. Looks to have undergone a thorough and correct restoration - which apparently occurred in 2013. In the original advertisement the seller made the following comments on the vehicle...

The very last of the original Cooper S.. This Bronze Yellow (Orange) MK3 Cooper S was offered via classiccarauctions.co.uk in September 2020. The site noted that the car sold for GBP 21,000 - somewhat below what I would have expected for such a low mileage example of an original MKIII car. See the original listing here. At the time this example was offered, the seller noted the following comments...

Spotted this original Bermuda Brown Studebaker Daytona HT on craigslist in January 2022, asking $9,000. Looks to be a very original car, with supposedly just 22,500 miles!! This is one of just 2,414 Hardtops built in 1964, and (in my opinion) one of the best Studebakers ever produced.. In the original advertisement, the seller noted: "Last year for Studebaker HT. V-8, Power Shift Automatic, Bucket...

This August complied 1978 LS was advertised on Gumtree Australia in January 2021, asking $28,000 AUD. Looks like a solid car, that has had a repaint and re-trim at some stage, so little to spend on the body work.. We have around 90 1275 LS cars on the register now (and even more in the offline register). Check out the others below. See the original gumtree advertisement here.

This hardtop sedan was one of the best luxury Japanese sedans of the 1980s (which was a very competitive sector).. There tend to be more of the slightly smaller 929 sedans around, but these super luxury larger versions I think are the nicest. This one was advertised on Gumtree.com.au in January 2021, asking $6,500 AUD. It has just 85,000 original km!! Check out the original advertisement here. We...

Spotted this classic G11 R Turbo Charade on Facebook Marketplace in Jan 2021, asking $8,000 AUD - see the original listing here. These are real 80s classics and affordable turbos (now and at the time they were first sold).. Simple and lots of fun, a great entry level turbo Japanese car for those new to the game. We've got a few of these on the register now!

We know these all too well, but it surprises me how many NZ Mini Clubman GTs (the Australian ones) have survived - there were less than a couple of hundred exported there. This one has had a lot spent, and was advertised on trademe.co.nz in December/January 2021, asking for a $50,000 starting bid. Check out the original listing here.
