This was asking $11,500 on facebook marketplace in October 2021 - not sure whether the colour is original or not (though they only came in red, white and blue??). No other details provided. Anyway, thought I'd add it to the TX3 list! Here's the original link: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/393138405822097/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking...

Spotted for sale on Gumtree Australia, located in Adelaide and asking $20K in October 2021 - this 180B is one of the great Datsun classics.. A very popular sports coupe in its day (here in Aus and in Japan), the SSS has quickly become an ultra collectible car, particularly considerinhg the prices of Datsun Skylines which are now unobtanium.. At the time it was offered, the seller noted the car was...

Spotted this one after it was too late - would have been keen to bid on it myself. It sold for just $1,900 at a private auction, formerly part of the Pete Reinthaler collection in Peshaston WA. It was described as needing a full restoration. Comes with a lot of parts. Has not run in several years. The car looks to be in complete and reasonably solid state (by the look of the fire wall at least)...

Blue Aussie clubman GT - this is an early onw with Cooper S motor and correct numbers.

Spotted this Scorpion on FB marketplace in October 2021 - they are still fairly cheap, this one asking $5,700.. However, it does need a lot of tidying up (and it's difficult to tell whether rust is bad).. I've added this as a 79 GH, but the seller didn't state a year, and I don't quite know the difference between the GE and GH scorpion.. We've got a few of these on the register now (all early...

Spotted this on the Facebook page of Nippon2u. Very few details provided, but looks like this one might be headed to Australia. Love the effort that the Japanese put into the styling of their 70s cars in particular - the bumpers etc were all so nicely integrated.

Rare TRD Aurion - this from the end of a competitive era for Australian built performance full size sedans. These Aurions packed a punch with over 240kw supercharged 3.5l 6 cylinder.. The only issue is that it came through the front wheels so was never as balanced as the Holden and Ford competitors. Nonetheless these are a very nice car and a serious contender if you're put off by the crazy prices...

GTS1 SVD Plate 6/88 actual build date 22/4/88 SVD No. 027 of 200

Spotted this 1965 Studebaker Commander 2 door on classiccars.com in October 2021.. It was noted as retaining its factory 283 Chevy & Borg Warner T 10 transmission, and runs well. Looks to have been rodded a bit, but in excellent condition. It was asking $22,000 USD at the time..

Nice resto project spotted on craigslist in October 2021, asking just $1,900 USD. Being a Minnesota car, I assume it has a fair bit of rust, but it does look very complete and would clean up well. Note, this is a 6-cylinder model from 64, looks to have its original green paint (or what's left of it). Hope it finds a good hope with someone that's keen to restore it.

Spotted this one on Ebay UK in October 2020 - not sure what it sold for but unsirprisingly, as an early Cooper S, it was snbapped up very quickly. The seller at the time made the following comments in the advertisement suggesting this mini has a very interesting history: It's an Austin Mini Cooper 1275 MKI and was built on the 11th May 1964 and despatched on the 29 May 1964. It was a special order...

Spotted on trademe NZ in October 2021, this is one of just 200 of these cars sold there new in 73. The seller noted the following information in the original advert: 1973 Clubman GT #1508 Here's the lowdown... Non-restored. Certainly used, daily driver condition. Solid car, currently warranted. Drives great. Is an awesome, fun, reliable ride. I want to sell, don't need to sell - so if you want it...
