This is the first one of these on Classic Register - spotted on TCV.com in June 2021. The car has less than 50,000km on the clock, and is located in Tokyo Japan (at the time it was spotted on TCV, it was asking over $65,000 USD). These cars ae amazing looking - European styled, Japanese assembled, and had a 1.6l 4 cylinder engine with a 4-speed manual transmission.

This JDM skyline was advertised on trade car view in June 2021, asking nearly $50,000. Most early skylines are bringing big money now, and this particular model (the C210) is one of my favourite designs. We receuved a few (but very few) in Australia - mos of which have rusted away fairly terribly.. This one supposedly has low Ks - but likely has undergone a ful resto. I'm never completely...

Somehow a Cosworth Vega has ended up down in New Zealand. Love these cars, and this is number 0975 of 3,508. There is a great Vega Cosworth enthusiast site here, if you want to know more about these interesting limited editions: https://www.cosworthvega.com/registry-photo-gallery

Nice example of the A124 convertible, with reasonably ks (200km) on the clock. Looks in good condition, and it's a "sportline" model, which received some handling upgardes (not exactly sure what, but I presume they haduprated suspension, etc). Nice AMG monoblocks applied, and the 124 series gives such a classy timeless look. The 320 version is certainly the best bet in the convertible if you're...

The first of its kind on Classic Register by the look of it - this example was advertised in June 2021 in NZ, asking $69,990. For years I found these a bit too edgy / not streamlined enough, particularly in comparison to much earlier, and subsequent later Maseratis (such asthe 3200GT). But the design of these Ghiblis has grown on me. You can see some amazing attention to detail in modernising what...

Another little NZ GTO, this one spotted on trademe.co.nz in June 2021. Trademe NZ has some great cars on there, and it's one of my favourite places to browse, particularly when it comes to Japanese imports and rare items like this GTO. The seller at the time of offering noted the following comments about this car: "Recent restoration finish only 8 months ago, everything that needed replacing got...

Spotted this interesting Mercer series 6 Raceabout on Gumtree NZ - a very nice example of these early and very successful vintage race cars. The car was asking $250,000 at the time of the advertisement, and the seller made the following comments: 1923 Mercer Series 6 Raceabout Manufactured in Trenton, New Jersey, USA by Roebling Brothers, Builders of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. This car is...

This 1970 MK2 S has been advertised for a while on various sites - and it's one of few that are asking under $40,000 (at the time of sale, this was asking $34,000. It's supposedly an original S, but it'sunclear whether it retains its original engine (likely not).. Not too many up for sale at the moment. Check out the others on the register below.

This is an interesting replica of the 1962 Indianapolis pace car - as provided by Studebaker for that race. The car has apparently been built to the correct specifications, and has had its graphics detailed so as to replicate the original pace car based on photographs from the actual race. A nice piece of history which could be left as is, or the graphics removed if preferred. A real museum piece...

This is a late Australian Leyland Mini "S" - the "S" meaning the car was one level above the base model, and had a few features such as flares on the mudguards, badging, but little else. This looks like an original survivor example, and is in the final year of Australian mini production (with the exception of the Moke). It caught our attention, as there aren't many survivors like this out there...

Found this TJ Ralliart Magna on Graysonline in June 2021 - bids at nearly 10K with just over a day left to run on the auction. It would have been great if they applied the AWD platform to the ralliart cars, but they were just FWD like the standard Magna, but with far better power, and a number of handling upgrades. These are quite rare cars, with only 500 units sold in the Australian market. This...

Here's a rare example of the Version 5 WRX STI coupe - from the 1998 year. These were really classics as soon as they were built, and prices to have extent have always reflected that (although there was a time they were available in the mid 20s in Australia. Thsose days are long gone and prices are now much higher. This one, when spotted, had bids at $45,000 and 12 hours of an auction remaining...
