Not too many of these are sitting down in the southern hemisphere - this example an import from the UK (so a ery rare RHD example). The R5 is obiously a famous Renault brand, but the R5 Turbo is one of the more desirable sporting variants that has a heap more character over the original basic hatch. Like most French cars, the approach to the design is a little different in every way Firstly, by...

These late model AMCs are very well styled. Advertised on ebay USA in August 2022, this one was asking $23,000 USD. Love the turbo style wheels which I understand are factoru fitted. At the time this one was offered, the seller made the following comments: AMC has always offered distinctive cars with lower production figures than The Big Three. That's what makes this 1978 AMC Concord AMX so...

This is the first Lotus Excel on the register - one of the most overlooked Lotus cars.. Such great styling and typical of the era, the excel is a rare beast, with just 2,075 built. This example has just under 100,000km, and at the time we spotted it on trademe.co.nz, with a starting bid of $25,000. Not too bad if you got it for that! The seller made the following comments in the original...

Advertised on Ebay USA in August 2022, this Ambassador Custom doesn't look too bad from a distance, but on closer look under the side of the car, those sills don't look too healthy! When I spotted this one, it has less than 24 hours to run, with bids up to $10,000 USD. That's actually fairly strong performance. Great colour combo, continental kit and the famous Nash "Weather Eye" on the dash - a...

Yet another NZ Warrior GT has survived - of the 200 cars that were delivered to NZ, I'm consistently surprised that we discover new ones up for sale all the time. This one was spotted on Trademe NZ with a starting bid at $40,000 in August 2022. It Looks to be fairly original and complete, but has obviously had an engine tidy up at some point. In the original advertisement, the seller noted the...

It has been a long time since I've seen a good 998 LS for sale, and this has to be one of the best I've seen. Asking $25,000 in August 2022, this Nugget Gold example looks exceptionally original, even retaining its velour cloth intact! All features are correct for this late model Australian special edition. Although its estimated around 400 nugget gold 1275 LS cars were built, I think there would...

This 1973 Mitsubishi GTO was advertised on Trademe NZ, asking $30,000 NZD in August 2022. This example, the seller noted, was fitted with a 12a Rotary engine. I'd be very tempted to return it to original. Very few details were given by the seller, but it looks like a worthwhile project to save.. Love finding these classic hardtops like this - so much potential.. Check out the other GTOs on the...

This example of the TX3 front-wheel-drive was advertised on Facebook marketplace in August 2022. Looks a bit rough, but I haven't seen a Turbo advertised in a while and its a worthwhile restoration project. At the time the car was advertised it was asking $5,000 AUD. Few details were given in the advertisement, but the seller did note that the car doesn't start, and had been sitting for several...

Haven't added a 560 SEC to the register in a little while. This example, in my favourite burgundy colour, looks pretty good and has very low Ks (under 150,000).. It appears to be an Aussie delivered car. I'm not much of a fan of the woodgrain centre boss on the wheel (prefer the original). The only other thing I'd prefer on the car would be a beige trim which I think works nicely with the burgundy...

Great to see this at such a bargain price. This particular car will be the 27th 65 model Daytona Sport Sedan on Classic Register - with hopefully a few more to come. At just $6,900 USD this is an absolute steal, and looks in reasonably solid condition. Possibly an older restoration (looks too good to be fully original), and according to the original advertisement it's driveable. The seller made...

Adding to our great online registry of the Datsun 180B, this SSS hardtop coupe was spotted on Facebook marketplace in August 2022, asking $25,000 AUD. The car has been modified, but nothing that can't be undone if the next owner wants to bring it back to its original state. Shiny and ready to go, the mods are not for everyone, but assuming it's a solid shell and the motor's strong, you'd be hard...

This T5-R Sedan has been advertised for sale on carsales.com.au for about 5-months - a nice manual example finished in white. Although yellow is my favourite colour on the T5-R, white has a certain clean look about it on the 850 - more of a sleeper sedan that contrasts well with the dark alloys. At the time this car was advertised, it was asking $16,500. That's too bad considering many now ask...
