The type B (also known as the Notchback) if one of Porsche's earliest sports cars. The Type B Featured an air cooled 1600 engine based off the engines being produced by Volkswagen at the time and was known as the car that started the modern styling of what we know today as the modern day Porsche; although this is more evident in the later Type C. This particular example is in true show room condition as it has recently been professionally restored. With this comes the price tag, as of the date...

Enhanced by renowned tuners Tommykaira, this 190E was recently advertised at $17,900 (USD), listed here on Mendel's Garage. Despite their reputation for modifying Japanese domestic market cars, TommyKaira's first couple of vehicles were in fact German. The quality of the Benz vehicles in the 80s meant they were exceptionally popular in Japan, and TommyKaira saw an opportunity to provide a home tuned sporting model starting with the 2.0l powerplant. Precise production numbers of these 2.0l...

Although the 1980s was not great to american cars in general (case and point what Ford had done to the muted Mustang) this was a car that stood out in both classic 80s styling and keeping inline with what an American car had been made famous for; a V8 up front and moving wheels at the rear on a live rear axel. Featuring the 350 block (upgraded from the 305 block) the GTA produced 245HP at the rear wheels delivered through (in this case) a 4 speed automatic gearbox. This example was found on Ebay...

This 1977 Alfasud is currently advertised on Ebay Australia, with an opening bid of $6,500 (AUD). The car appears to be in amazing overall condition for an unrestored example, with the seller noting it is 99% rust free. The motor, however, is not original and has been replaced by a twin-carb unit from a later model (we presume the 1490cc engine introduced with the Ti from 1980). For the ‘originality’ conscious buyer, the seller includes the original engine with the sale (which we understand...

This is an extremely rare variant of the 560 SEL (the SEL +L) and is known as Mercedes Benz Carat by Duchatelet, a ultra luxury limousine model. There are believed to only be 17 of this particular model in the world. Like the regular SELs it is noticeable by the (large for the time) 17 inch wide dish alloy wheels and the 5.6L V8 mated to a 4 speed automatic gearbox. This car was the symbol of class and style back in the 1980s when it was released. Obviously a car of this nature would be well...

In the 1960s as the Volkswagen car company was growing there was a distinct need for the company to produce a lightweight sports car for the masses. The Karmann was Volkswagen's answer to the flurry of sports coups being produced by competing companies such as MG and even Ford with its Mustang (although this was a much larger car). The Karmann was based off the VW Beetle chassis (widened by 300mm) and was VW's first attempt at a car of this nature. This particular example was for sale at the...

This low mileage 50th Anniversary Z31 has been advertised on Ebay USA for some months now, with offers struggling to reach the $10,000 mark. It's a beautiful example of this relatively low production special edition (5,148 built), which the seller notes is in excellent overall condition, with everything working as it should. This version of the 50th Anniversary edition was sold in the USA and Canada, and naturally celebrated the company's semi-centennial in 1984, offering additional luxury...

With approximately 5,929 of these being produced in 1959 and only two in Australia (that are known of) this is a rare example of Mercury's Colony Park. The Colony Park was the luxury station wagon and has become an American icon, especially the side woodgrain finished models of the 1970s and 1980s. Weighing an astonishing 5000 pounds and featuring Ford's 430 ci V8 block this is your typical big lumbering V8 passenger vehicle that became synonymous with American brands at the time. This car was...

Bids on this XE ESP were up to $14,000 (AUD) during April 2016, on Ebay Australia. Very few details were provided about the car in the seller's description, however, the seller attached the Ford. Sign up and add yours to Classic Register, or have a look at the other XE ESPs on the register. If you're looking for more information on the XE ESP, check our XE ESP ID guide out.

Another XE ESP on the register - this one was advertised in April 2017, asking a very big $50,000. This one's a factory 302 V8, and we presume a matching numbers car. All details are confirmed on the Ford verification letter, so looks to be the real deal. Out of interest, the sellet noted this is one of 8,123 4.9ltr v8 engined cars built, 613 cars with a 4 speed manual floor shift, one of 66 with this paint-silver grey(met), one of 15 trimmed of those cars trimmed in gunmetal, one of 15 in this...

This Beautiful XJR-S was offered for sale in NSW, Australia in May 2017, asking $90,000 at the time. Very few made their way to Australia, so this represents a very unique opportunity to acquire one of these late model XJs in near new condition. Tom Walkinshaw of TWR was commissioned to give the road-going XJR a performance makeover. In 1988 the factory made an official model incorporating Walkinshaws enhancements. His company JaguarSport (or TWR), was already producing body and suspension kits...

This very rare 1971 Morris Cooper S is one of only 170 1971 Ss built in 1971, having the revised door handle design, burst proof door locks, among several other unique features. It's begging to be restored back to original spec.. Due to the scarcity of this particular Cooper S version (sometimes referred to as the MK2.5), along with the fact that they were the last produced in Australia, we've always assumed these cars would attract the most collector interest. Interestingly, the Shannons...
