1992 Toyota MR2 G-Limited T-Top – 5 Speed Manual

A genuine iconic Japanese sports car and an increasingly hard car to find in this sort of original condition.

This 1992 Toyota MR2 G-Limited is the desirable 2.0-litre petrol, 5-speed manual with the removable T-Top roof. Mid-engined, rear-wheel drive and unmistakably 1990s Toyota, these SW20 MR2s have become highly sought-after modern classics.

This example has travelled just 110,902km and has had only two private owners in New Zealand since being imported.

Powered by Toyota’s legendary 2.0-litre Twin Cam 16-valve engine, matched to the 5-speed manual gearbox, it delivers the proper analogue sports-car experience that made the MR2 famous.

Features include:

* 2.0L Twin Cam 16-valve petrol
* 5-speed manual
* Mid-engine / rear-wheel drive
* G-Limited specification
* Removable T-Top glass roof panels
* Factory Toyota alloy wheels
* Factory sports interior
* Air conditioning
* Power steering
* Electric windows
* Pop-up headlights
* Only 110,902km
* Two private NZ owners since import
* Timing belt replacement recorded at 98,130km
* Classic metallic grey finish

The photos really speak for this car. The body presents beautifully, the interior retains its original period look and the engine bay is exceptionally tidy for a vehicle now over 30 years old.

The T-Tops, manual gearbox, low kilometres and largely original presentation make this a particularly appealing example for an enthusiast or collector.

The SW20 MR2 is now firmly established as one of Japan’s iconic 1990s sports cars, and good unmodified manual examples are becoming increasingly difficult to replace.

A very cool piece of Toyota history and an MR2 that’s ready to be enjoyed.

2004 HSV CLUBSPORT R8 – PETER BROCK – 6.0L V8 – 6 SPEED MANUAL – ONLY 24,236KM

An incredibly special piece of Australian motoring history and certainly not your everyday HSV.

This 2004 HSV Clubsport R8 is finished in stunning Impulse Blue and has travelled an exceptionally low 24,236km from new.

Powered by the mighty 6.0-litre LS2 V8 and matched to the highly desirable 6-speed manual transmission, this is already a seriously collectible Australian performance sedan – but the history attached to this particular car takes it to another level.

PETER BROCK CONNECTION

The car comes with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Peter Brock Foundation, dated 15 December 2006, certifying that Holden Clubsport R8 CKR768 was the last Holden vehicle designed by Peter Brock.

The certificate states that the car was built to Peter Brock’s exacting standards and that he gave precise instructions covering the brakes, differential, gearbox, suspension, cold-air tune and energy polariser.

Adding further provenance, the car has also been driven by Peter Brock and comes with supporting memorabilia and documentation, including period newspaper material and a Peter Brock signed HSV owner’s wallet.

l
The condition reflects the incredibly low mileage. The Impulse Blue paintwork presents beautifully, the interior has clearly been exceptionally well cared for, and the engine bay remains remarkably clean and original.

Cars with genuine Peter Brock history are becoming increasingly important pieces of Australian motorsport and performance-car history. Combine that provenance with an early 6.0-litre manual R8, just 24,000km, supporting documentation and outstanding presentation, and you have something very difficult to replicate.

This isn’t simply another low-kilometre HSV – it’s a genuine piece of Peter Brock history.

1973 Mitsubishi GTO Galant 2000 GS – NZ New – 2.0L – 5 Speed Manual

A seriously rare piece of early Japanese motoring history — this 1973 Mitsubishi GTO Galant 2000 GS is New Zealand New and remains in wonderfully original condition.

This car has fantastic provenance. Its first owner purchased it new in 1973 and kept it right through until 1995, an incredible 22 years of ownership.

Powered by the 2.0-litre petrol engine and paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, this is a proper sporting Galant from an era when Japanese performance cars were only just beginning to establish the reputation they enjoy today.

The odometer is showing approximately 45,700 miles.

Finished in striking red with contrasting white side stripes, it retains all the classic 1970s details — fender-mounted mirrors, chrome bumpers, period wheels and that fantastic fastback coupe profile.

The interior is equally special and remarkably original, featuring black upholstery, woodgrain dash and centre console, factory instrumentation, analogue clock, original-style radio and the distinctive Galant script across the passenger side of the dashboard.

Highlights:

* 1973 Mitsubishi GTO Galant 2000 GS
* New Zealand New
* 2.0L petrol
* 5-speed manual
* Approx. 45,700 miles showing
* First owner from 1973 until 1995
* Very original example
* Red with period white side stripes
* Fender-mounted mirrors
* Chrome bumpers and period wheels
* Original black interior
* Woodgrain dashboard and centre console
* Factory auxiliary gauges
* Registration GL2922

Cars like this have become incredibly difficult to find, especially in such original specification. Early Japanese classics are becoming increasingly collectible, and a NZ New 1973 Mitsubishi GTO Galant 2000 GS with this sort of history is something very special.

A genuine survivor, a fantastic conversation piece and a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved part of Mitsubishi and New Zealand motoring history.
