99 model LS400, spotted on Ebay USA in December 2021, asking $3,999 USD, buy it now, with 167,000 miles on the clock. Looks in OK condition, and was apparently a california car all its life. These later model cars are my favourite, with a nice conservative facelift that make them look so similar to the W126 / W140 Mercedes - but you know you're getting a much simpler vehicle. Certainly a modern...

This is the last of the legendary LS400 series cars which were originally introduced in 1989, and had various upgrades throughout the 90s, with this car being the final model (replaced...

Another classic LS400 on the register - this one with 300,000km and a full service history. This example was advertised in Victoria (Australia) on Gumtree.com.au in December 2021, asking $7,250. Between 5 - 10k seems to be about the market price for a clean LS400 with average Ks. See the original advertisement here. The seller made the following comments in the original ad: "The Car is in great...

Here's a classic Series 1 LS400 from 1990 - spotted on Gumtree Australia in December 2021, asking $12,000 AUD. Known to go for a million Ks, this one has plenty of life left despite being over 30 years old. They competed against the S Class Mercedes, but the Lexus was a far simpler car - which helped it cement the brands reputation for reliability and quality. These look great in the original...

This was the last iteration of the LS400 - Lexus' flagship model and the model that really established the brand's reputation for exceptional quality. These were particularly popular in the USA, competing directly with the S-class. These later facelifted iterations of the first series car (which ran from the early 90s) are relatively rare, and it's pleasant to see them in great condition over 20...

This Starion was advertised on Grays online auctions in December 2021 - just 2 days to run and bids up to $14,000 AUD. Looks in excellent condition for the mileage, including what appears to be leather trim. See the original listing here.

We love the XJR X306 and 308s - this example being the later 308, with very low ks on the clock, and presents beautifully. These are a serious performance car and in their time would easily outrun most HSV / Tickford cars in Australia.. The design of the X306/308 is also the most timeless... This example was spotted on carsales.com.au in December 2020, asking $59,990. A year ago you could probably...

This was spotted on Ebay Australia in December 2021, asking $38,500 AUD (starting bid). See the original ad here. In the original advertisement, the seller made the following comments: Genuine XD ESP (European Sports...

Another Chairman for the Australian car register :) - this one has seen better days, with the dash top cracked from the Queensland sun, and has had a few 'interesting' modifications. Price is right, asking $4,500, spotted in December 2021 on carsales.com.au. See the original advertisement here. Check out the others on the Ssangyong Chairman register below.. Some say only 100 were brought into Aus...

Another Australian Ssangyong Chairman added to the register. This one was advertised on carsales.com.au asking $9,000 AUD in December 2021. It has just under 60,000 km on the clock - we've seen a few examples with unbelievably low ks for the age come up over the last couple of years. I presume this is because they were generally bought by elderly people? See the original advertisement here. The...

The XJC is the lowest production number classic Jaguar coupe, and unsurprisingly they are fetching some fairly big $$ nowadays. This example was spotted on Ebay Australia, with an asking price of $48,500 AUD (buy it now). Check out the original listing here. Personally, I find this series of coupes one of the most beautiful, and certainly the most beautiful coupe built after the E-Type. I just...
