Spotted this classic G11 R Turbo Charade on Facebook Marketplace in Jan 2021, asking $8,000 AUD - see the original listing here. These are real 80s classics and affordable turbos (now and at the time they were first sold).. Simple and lots of fun, a great entry level turbo Japanese car for those new to the game. We've got a few of these on the register now!

We know these all too well, but it surprises me how many NZ Mini Clubman GTs (the Australian ones) have survived - there were less than a couple of hundred exported there. This one has had a lot spent, and was advertised on trademe.co.nz in December/January 2021, asking for a $50,000 starting bid. Check out the original listing here.

Another late model available in Australia (one of two spotted online at the time of writing - December 2021). This example has low ks under 200,000, and looks in great condition overall, with a few minor dings and blemishes that you'd expect for a car that's over 20 years old. This is the last of the first generation LS400 - which benefited from a number of upgrades and improvements throughout the 90s decade. For this reason, I think these are the most collectable of the 400 series.. See the...

Another Silver Monarch LTD spotted on Gumtree.com.au in December 2021, this one asking $50,000 AUD ONO.. The seller noted it was Restored in 2013 and has refurbished upholstery, carpets, door cards, vinyl roof and a reconditioned engine. The seller noted that it runs well, and is running on duel fuel, and has an updated aircon system. See the original advertisement here.

This NC Ford LTD is the first we've put on the register, and looks in complete and original condition with 300,000 km on the clock. Spotted on gumtree.com.au in December 2021, it was asking $6,800 AUD - see the original ad here. In the original advertisement, the seller noted the following comments: "Car is in very good condition for its age, good straight body never been in an accident, FACTORY 5 LITRE V8. Sun roof and plates to confirm authenticity. interior is very nice and the car drives...

Spotted on Gumtree Australia where the seller noted it was one of just 250 made. and all original running gear is original, no rust, new tyres and drives like new. These are a great looking classic LTD which have shot up in value in recent years. At the time of writing (Dec 2021), there are three other LTDs on gumtree Aus! Must be a good time to sell. Check out that velour cloth trim - the ultimate luxury Aussie sedan of the late 70s!

This Low km example of the LTD was advertised on Grays online auctions in December 2021. I love the AU Fairlane more than any other series because of its Lincoln styling, which significantly differentiated the car from the Standard AU series Falcon. Most other Fairlanes (late models) looked too similar to the Falcon, but the AU differentiated itself with very square up styling, and was actually quite a popular model. I think this is the first LTD we've got on the register. This one apparently...

Piku Performance is a Licensed Motor Vehicle importer located in the Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. We specialise in Subarus, but can cater to all JDM tastes. This Subaru Impreza WRX Version 4 Type R V-Limited, is a recent import from Japan. It's been serviced and freshly complied, comes with 6 month warrant and 12 months rego. This car is in near factory condition, with some tasteful modifications. It's one of only 639 made in 1998 as per https://legacypic.uk/car/specs.php?id=1126 Details: -Version 5...

While we were adding the red ST205 GT-Four to the register, we spotted this yellow one also for sale, asking $17,000 less, but with half the mileage. Again, this is an import from Japan (not one of the rare Australian homologation cars), but nonetheless a true GT-Four - just a smaller spoiler :).. Looks in OK condition, and was advertised as registered, asking $40,000 AUD at the time (December 2021) - see the original gumtree ad here. In the original advertisement, the seller made the following...

Although it was the least successful in the WRC (thanks to getting itself banned), it is my favourite GT-Gour model.. Something about the muscular styling has always done it for me, and I still have the Tamiya Castrol WRC radio control version from when I was a kid. These are a great modern classic which it seems are now on the allowed import list as a 30+ year old car, and are streaming in (but demanding hefty prices). This ST205 was spotted on gumtree Australia, located in WA, asking $57,000...

Manufactured by Mazda in Japan, this 2 door Hardtop GT Rotary was offered for sale on Grays Auctions online, and sold for $23,109 in December 2021. Extremely rare in Australia, we commonly see the turbo 929 coupe (which sold quite strongly here in the 1980s when new), but rarely do these Rotary engined Cosmo versions of the HB turn up. Unsurprisingly, these are becoming increasingly desirable like most of Mazda's old rotary cars. Check out the original listing here.

This Australian C140 (we presume it was Aus delivered but don't know for sure) was advertised on Gumtree.com.au in December 2021, with 171,000km on the clock and asking $26,500 AUD. Prices seem to be on the rise, and rightly so.. This has been a much anticipated modern classic in my opinion, and there are currently several cars in the $20,000 and above price point (that previously would be in the mid teens). Not many of these around though. The seller notes that everything works and there are no...
