Not long ago today: 190SL Benz, red, nice, club plates; it must be local, seen it before. And a WB ute, white, being used for a signs business.

Today, lime green with black striping Charger R/T, with “4” in vertical stripe of front guards.
Yesterday, Toyota Century with limo tint. That unloved LS400 keeps calling to me, are they a secure car if it is sold without keys? |

Yeah they were the most popular small car when new, but I think the 1.8 had engine issues and the ECUs also didnt last.

Uncommon “spot”, in an uncommon way - recent televised meth/coke rampage on the Gold Coast involved a lifted two-tone Blazer.

Those mid-90s Corollas are not at all rare, still *plenty* of them around. There was still 36,000 of them registered in Australia as of a few years ago (2020/21).

Just saw an XH panel van, white, ex-cop, a bit rough but still on full reg; owner said he's hardly had to spend any $ on it; also a Valiant AP5, full reg, sounded like a V8 and looked like a daily driver; also a Jaguar XJ6 sedan, possibly a fairly early one, full reg also.

Yeah, really. He believed the ute was really a Nissan. The XF was OK because it used the Nissan engine. Some muvers do havem.

Well that is garbage because really all Nissan did was put a different grille with name badge on the front.They did come with a 3 yr warranty as opposed to Fords 1 yr though

3 year warranty was still a while away for any manufacturer. I think Hyundai was the first.

Was it sorry.My old memory lets me down sometimes.You are probably right about Hyundai.Pretty sure they were selling them with Hyundai finance for about $8-9k.Sold lots of them and got Hyundai really started in the Aust market.
