@olaf and @allan:
I mean you guys aren't wrong... The Corolla has done 388 000 kms and it has zero rust. I reckon it is one of the cleanest examples of a ke70 you can find in NZ. Completely mint interior, no cracks on dash. 0 rust anywhere on the car. Engine is going strong, gearbox is going strong, no diff whine. Even got the original jack and tool kit and owners manual. That being said, it is more gutless than my Simca and I am looking for something a little faster, while keeping it retro and cool.

Yeah it's 35mm film. Portra 400. Got a bit more pics of my cars if you want to see them.
Also yeah that's nice but it's about $9k too expensive still. Looking to spend around $6k, maybe a bit more. Nearly bought a pre-facelift 325i manual coupe off of one of my dad's colleagues for $5k but his son in law convinced him to keep it (sucks, we'd agreed on the deal and I'd already started clearing my Toyota stocks). I'd be alright buying an auto, just as long as it's 6 cyl, mostly unmolested and North Island.
