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...

Is this the last or 2nd last GT made in Australia with the CooperS engine

This neat example of the G6E from 2012 was advertised on carsales.com.au in June 2021, asking $39,900 AUD. I'm a big fan of these facelifted FG models - but also love the subsequent FG-X a little more.. 270kw from the factory, nice dark colour combination on this example. The seller at the timenoted that the car is in great condition - with some serious modifications. That includes (extract from...

This example, finished in lightning strike silver with black leather interior, was advertised for sale in Victoria in June 2021, asking $43,990. Close to its new price. This is the very last year that Ford Australia built the Falcon, and this is one of my favourite models to come out of the Australian marque. Powered by the legendary Barra 6 turbo, the car has 270kw of power, factory standard. The...

Yet another white example - this one offered on TCV in June 2021.Again, this is an auto, with no sunroof.. Lowesk Ks seen yet at under 30,000. Check out the others on the Be-1 register. Note, this one was asking $11,979 in June 2021.

This whife BE-1 was offered on TCV in June 2021, asking $6,700 USD. As with most examples, they tend to be very low mileage (presumably because they have spent their entire lives doing small trips around cities.. I love the design of these cars - somewhat closer to a retro Mini than mant of the current new Minis. Some 14 inch Minisuperlite wheels are needed to sport up the appearance :). This one...

Nissan BE-1, bery original car, and only 44,000km. The real mini repalacement! These were based on the Nissan Micra platform with a very cool body design, this is one of Nissan's "Pike" cars of the era. It has a tiny 1l 4-cyliner engine that produces just 38kw, but fuel economy is probably great. This one has an auto transmission (3 speed), but missed out on the optional canvas top. Only 10,000 of...

Another nice white G6E FG X Turbo, with the best trim - Tan/black leather. This one was spotted for sale in June 2021, asking $45,950.. The seller noted the car is in pristine original condition. Big $$ but as we've said before, these are a real modern Ford Australian classic.

You don't seem too many of these in dark blue (I think it's called "Vanish Blue"). This example had reasonably high Ks for its age - 164,00, and certainly that's higher than many others that were advertised around the same time (mid-2021). This particular car was advertised on carsales.com.au and facebook marketplace, and was asking $48,000. That probably seems a bit steep. The cars were only $47...
