This early example of the MR2 was advertised on trademe.co.nz in Feb 2021, with bids at $4,237 last time we saw, but 5 days to run. It has a bit of rust, but looks complete and original - and if the chassis numbers on these are in order, this car is in the first batch of 1000 built. While the second generation W20 cars are also very popular, there's nothing quits so distinctly iconic and 80s than...

This very rare T5-R Wagon was advertised on FB Marketplace in February 2021, asking $38,888 AUD at the time. Low Ks, and originally from Japan - this one was imported and offered by Auto Dynasty Classic in Sydney.

This one was advertised on trademe.co.nz in Feb 2021, asking $36,000.This is a genuine factory Rotary RX-5 - as opposed to the piston engined cars which seem to fetch much less in the marketplace. Car looks to be in good solid original condition, needing only a tidy up aind perhaps some minor repairs. A good point at which to get a classic like this - prices of these are no douby only headed up...

Advertised on Gumtree Australia in February 2020, asking $8,500, this rolling shell with interior is fairly complete and would make a great project for a Mazda enthusiast. There are a few significant rust spots, but supposedly the flloors and sills are in great condition. Hopefuly this 929 coupe can be saved.

This 121 coupe has been on gumtree Australia for a while, asking just $5K. This particular version of the Cosmo / RX5 / 121 is still very afordable, and hasn't taken off in the same way as other late 70s Japanese coupes (unless of course it's the Rotary version which command quite a bit more). A bargain in 2021 for a classic Mazda coupe.

This is a 4-cylinder Mazda 121 (from before the 121 was a small car). The 121 is the non-rotary version of the RX-5 which was sold in markets such as Australia (also known as the Cosmo AP). This example is a solid rust free car that has been partly dismantled for restoration. The seller at the time (on Ebay in Feb 2021) noted the following comments: Minor surface rust on bonnet and roof due to...

A NZ example spotted on trademe.co.nz. Originally a light Gold coloured car, now red, lowered and looking like a DR30 Skyline. Got a few of these interesting (and now rare) luxury Japaneze 929s on the register.

This 77 Cosmo Landau is in amazing original condition, and has been advertised on Trademe.co.nz for quite a while, asking around $55 NZD. A nice car with very low Ks for the age, and the condition really shows they are probably genuine. Not many of these around.

Spotted on FB Marketplace in Feb 2020, asking $22,000. Looks to be quite an original example of the 242GT. Not many aronud these days!

Exceptionally rare in Australia, this SSS Coupe was spotted on facebook marketplace asking $36,000 AUD in February 2021 - listed by Auto Dynasty Classic. If you want one, this is probably the only one you'd see for sale in the next few years. Very cool, fitted with an EFI turbo engine, and certainly better looks than the Aussie 4-door versions.
