Just saw a very ratty e36 wagon 

Anyone know how many they made?

Ratty ones?  That was a pretty rare option, only about 50 or so.  They go for e30 prices based on rarity alone.  

Seriously though, I did find the UK market figures:

Hahaha I had to look at the photo to see what you were talking about, that's an end cap for the water proof light fittings used by meadow mushrooms, made in New Zealand.

Spotted not one, but two Ferrari 430 Spyders out Maraetai way on Sunday, both had the roof down - so it was officially a nice sunny day.

I see your two Fezzas, and raise you 11 - eleven - Aston Martins southbound on SH26 towards Paeroa. :D

Are you up this way too, Andrew, or just visiting?

That's Karepiro Drive, where Mitre 10 is. 

Ill go exploring that away tomorrow. That's quite local to me. ?

 

Or or do you mean Link Crescent, that loops around the mall past McDonald's and the movie theatre, coming out at The Warehouse?

A rare classic parked in Wellingtons CBD. Had a quick chat to the owner and this is one pristine example. Owner didn't say out right but hinted that it has had a full no expense resto. And man did it sound sweeeeet!

Keep seeing an E39 around the north waikato with racing stripes and "scorpion" branding, was wondering if its some sort of tuner but google aint revealing that.

Some person thought it would be a good idea to park this outside work the other day, and then make me drive the bloody thing for two hours.
