Saw what I think was two 1950s or 60s Rolls Royce on the way home from work tonight. Didn't get a good look at them as they were heading in the opposite direction on a dual lane separated carriageway. Both looked to be a two tone pattern, so maybe hire company?

Early 1980s Subaru Brumby, driver looked to be about 90. Complete with original "4WD" lettering. "On the Move" number plates starting with O, so looks like it's been with the same owner for around 25 years.

Motorcycle cops. Haven't seen one in years.
They must be getting desperate down in Spring St for cash to start sending up to the North East.

When I was out this morning I saw a Peugeot 404. It was on standard rego and looked to be in fine fettle.

In Canberra the other day I saw a 205 Rallye, pretty sure it would have been a private import as I don't think they sold them here.

It’s approaching “anorak” territory but from memory the Rallye designation was quite different between countries. As in, a sticker pack some places and a proper performance spec in others. The 306 Rallye (incidentally I saw a clean white one in Wahroonga late last week) was definitely a “sticker pack” (including maybe some specific trim fabric) in Australia.

A nissan exa. Looked to be in good shape. Only thing a little off but acceptable in my book was it was on n14 pulsar SSS wheels.

One car you just don't see anywhere anymore is the Holden Calibra. I can't even remember the last time I saw one, and there are none for sale on Carsales either.

Who remembers the Volvo S80, this one fitted with the transverse Yamaha V8............
Sounds excellent too! I really liked Volvo's engine diversity during this era, transverse V8's, transverse inline 6's, growly sounding 5 cylinders............. That V8 also formed the basis for the V8 Supercars engine used in the S60 race car. ![]() ![]()

The NSU Prinz , nice little car , pretty sure it was in Bathurst Races , it had 3 connecting rods driving the overhead camshaft
Probably, one of the most robust cam drives ever Hell of a better setup , than the toyota Tiara , I was in a Tiara when it broke its cam chain

Has anybody seen an Alfa Romeo 164 lately. Or any older Alfa for that matter?
