Buys of the week- Which 1950-1970 classic for $20-25,000?
I will leave my personal opinions in the comments! Kilometres have been omitted in this instance, given many of the cars have been restored or they have merely run their 100,000 mile clock over once or twice…
1. 1959 Jaguar Mk1, Auto in BRG. $25,000
2. 1951 Mercedes 170S, Manual in Blue. $24,000
3. 1956 MGA Mark 1, Manual in Blue/White. $24,000
4. 1965 Morris Cooper S, Manual in BRG. $25,000
5. 1956 Triumph TR3A, Manual in BRG. $25,000
6. 1966 Ford Mustang A-Code 289ci, Manual in Red. $25,000
7. 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint, Manual in Red. $22,000
8. 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400ci, Auto in White. $22,000
9. 1968 Volvo P1800S, Manual in White. $20,000
10. 1962 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, Manual in Blue. $25,000
These are a small selection of interesting motors available within the categores selected. As always, feel free to add to the list or make comments on this one. A lot of Mustangs (but interestingly not Camaros- always seem to be worth that bit more) and ’street machined’ cars could have been included but I thought subtle restorations would be more our pace.

I’d be thinking about a Jaguar S-Type or 420 (almost as good looking as a MKII but a much nicer ride with the IRS) or a Series I XJ6. Maybe a Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 (first of the uber-saloons).
I could also be tempted by a nice mid to late 60s American cruiser, something like a 67 Impala coupe, any El Camino, Pontiac Parisienne. Ideally a 67 Mustang fastback 390GT, but probably not in this budget….
The Alfa 2600 Sprint is a beautiful car also, one of those cars that can only be appreciated when seen in the metal.
Good point on the Jags Sheldon, but I much prefer the look of the Mk2 personally.
There was a 6.3 Merc and a couple of Impalas lying about in the price range actually, but with the 170S looking reasonable value I wanted to ensure some variety of makes.
And I love the 2600, silky smooth to look at and drive.
There were a couple of modded old Holden’s that may be also be of interest, though not my cup of tea really.
