Valiant VG Regal: I was pleased to find and shoot this VG Valiant Regal recently. Just a humble 245 2bbl 6 cylinder… but not often seen on the streets now days. Certainly is in excellent condition. I love it.

1966 Ford Mustang. Still running wild.
1966 Ford Mustang: What the world needs are more cars like this…This is an imported Mustang direct from the USA. It was landed in Adelaide, but the current owner has brought it home to live in Perth. Original left hand drive and just look how sparse the interior is, but that’s how they were. Engine is a 289ci V8 with 2 barrel carb.

Bufori V6i Convertible. Small car manufacturer kicks ass!
Bufori V6i Convertible: It’s my first Bufori I’ve shot in the wild and research tells me this attractive little sports car is a hand built retro styled automobile made in Malaysia by an Australian owned company. It’s got a Buick V6 engine (similar to the one in the Holden Commodore I’m guessing) and host of other off the shelf parts. The company produces around 300 cars per year like this. Who needs big car manufacturers when cars like this are made. Roll on small car manufacturing!

Mercedes 240D. Diesel Benz unstoppable.
Mercedes 240D: The usual high quality and bullet proof W123 class Mercedes that keeps on going and going. Roof rack and tow bar makes it a little more versatile for odd jobs and trips to Bunnings.

Subaru Sherpa. Little wheels keep on rollin’.
Subaru Sherpa: These tiny cars made by Subaru were often seen on the road in the 1980’s. Not as cute at the famous Suzuki Mighty Boy, but people still loved them. With only 2 cylinders of power they were cheap to run, maintain and license…this is the reason they were an unlikely hit with new car buyers… until they fell apart from over use. Good to see this white Sherpa still on the road and going strong.

Ford Mustang Convertible. Giddy up pony.
Ford Mustang Convertible: I just love these early model Mustangs…and even more interesting when it’s a convertible when original left hand drive. Giddy up pony.

Austin Healey Sprite. Tea drinkin’ classic.
Austin Healey Sprite: Another classic British sports car from the 1960’s. It’s small!

Morris Mini Cooper S. Super Duper Cooper.
Morris Mini Cooper S: It’s always great to see an original Mini getting around on the road. Better still when it’s a Cooper S. This green “S’ looks appears recently restored… Outside it looks awesomely neat and tidy though much of interior work has yet to be done. Brilliant!

1980 WB Statesman Caprice. The Deville may care.
1980 WB Statesman Caprice: Everything came to screaching halt when I spotted this Holden WB Statesman. I like the original condition this Statey is in, probably a paint respay job at one stage but otherwise bloody great. Too good to be towing a 6×4 box trailer.

Holden VL Commodore Calais. You old smoothy.
Holden VL Commodore Calais: One on the better Holden Commodores from the 1980’s. Well preserved, still licenced and best of all…still there.
