Another classic LS400 on the register - this one with 300,000km and a full service history. This example was advertised in Victoria (Australia) on Gumtree.com.au in December 2021, asking $7,250. Between 5 - 10k seems to be about the market price for a clean LS400 with average Ks. See the original advertisement here. The seller made the following comments in the original ad: "The Car is in great condition for its age as the pictures will demonstrate all electrics work and paint is fantastic it’s...

Here's a classic Series 1 LS400 from 1990 - spotted on Gumtree Australia in December 2021, asking $12,000 AUD. Known to go for a million Ks, this one has plenty of life left despite being over 30 years old. They competed against the S Class Mercedes, but the Lexus was a far simpler car - which helped it cement the brands reputation for reliability and quality. These look great in the original burgundy paint. See the original advertisement for this car here. At the time this car was advertised...

This was the last iteration of the LS400 - Lexus' flagship model and the model that really established the brand's reputation for exceptional quality. These were particularly popular in the USA, competing directly with the S-class. These later facelifted iterations of the first series car (which ran from the early 90s) are relatively rare, and it's pleasant to see them in great condition over 20 years on. They certainly have a following and hold a bit of value in people's minds. I love the...

This Starion was advertised on Grays online auctions in December 2021 - just 2 days to run and bids up to $14,000 AUD. Looks in excellent condition for the mileage, including what appears to be leather trim. See the original listing here. The seller noted the following comments in the original advertisement: "A popular and rare JDM classic, the Mitsubishi Starion is also quite a potent performer, with the 2.0lt Turbocharged engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and rear wheel drive format, it is...

We love the XJR X306 and 308s - this example being the later 308, with very low ks on the clock, and presents beautifully. These are a serious performance car and in their time would easily outrun most HSV / Tickford cars in Australia.. The design of the X306/308 is also the most timeless... This example was spotted on carsales.com.au in December 2020, asking $59,990. A year ago you could probably get this car for $30K, but that's covid tax /the insane inflation we're currently going through I...

Lovely example of a well restored and ultra-rare 6-cylinder XD ESP. This example is the falcon GL (before the ESP option was only available on the Fairmont Ghia, in the XE variant). This was spotted on Ebay Australia in December 2021, asking $38,500 AUD (starting bid). See the original ad here. In the original advertisement, the seller made the following comments: Genuine XD ESP (European Sports Pack) OPTION 54 * 1 of ONLY 9 built with this rare colour and specs ... For those that aren't aware...

Another Chairman for the Australian car register :) - this one has seen better days, with the dash top cracked from the Queensland sun, and has had a few 'interesting' modifications. Price is right, asking $4,500, spotted in December 2021 on carsales.com.au. See the original advertisement here. Check out the others on the Ssangyong Chairman register below.. Some say only 100 were brought into Aus, and if so, we've managed to get about 10% of those on the register..

Another Australian Ssangyong Chairman added to the register. This one was advertised on carsales.com.au asking $9,000 AUD in December 2021. It has just under 60,000 km on the clock - we've seen a few examples with unbelievably low ks for the age come up over the last couple of years. I presume this is because they were generally bought by elderly people? See the original advertisement here. The seller in the original advertisement made the following comments: "This luxury limousine could be a...

The XJC is the lowest production number classic Jaguar coupe, and unsurprisingly they are fetching some fairly big $$ nowadays. This example was spotted on Ebay Australia, with an asking price of $48,500 AUD (buy it now). Check out the original listing here. Personally, I find this series of coupes one of the most beautiful, and certainly the most beautiful coupe built after the E-Type. I just wish they had continued to build 2-door XJs in later series. Despite relatively low production numbers...

Adding these to the register as we spot them - Mazda's luxury 80s coupe, a somewhat forgotten car of the 80s that actually offers a pretty cool modern classic package. This example has the 5-speed manual and popular two tone red on silver paint work. It was offered on Ebay Australia in December 2021, with a starting bid of $8,500. See the original listing here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/304263234986?hash=item46d78085aa:g:y-8AAOSwKKNhrRL4
