This has to be one of the best features on Speedhunters ever.

Finally some different cars which aren't generic Nissan Silvia drift cars!

Love all of them.

After reading throughout this entire series I was disappointed to not see any third generation Camaros (82 - 92)

Funny, that the very last one would be one. Let alone one I've read about multiple times.

Not only interesting to see clean old school cars, but their location as well.

Huge '60s and '70s American cars in Europe, Japan-only models in Australia and New Zealand, classic European cars in southeast Asia. I think these people really have the spirit.

This has been a great month for great features, shame old school month is over. Blue chevette estate on banded steels has always been a favourite as has the crazyoctopus 240z (Zach's). I think next month should be classics month again

OK...can anyone answer, what is a Vauxhall Chevette? I thought it was CHEVY Chevette? Was Vauxhall a subsidiary of Chevy at the time?

I hear that Red '84 Lancer SL is such a track destroyer, and that it can harass a lot of newer and supposedly faster cars like Imprezas , I'd love to see a guest blog or car feature on that thing it is just wicked sick =))

If I was Lee Adams driving that victoria around New Zealand, I think I'd have a pretty tough time giving a fvçk about anything else. But that Toyota Hiace, Saab 99, Skoda and Alfa Sud Ti are pretty nuts. So cool. And I can't imagine racing that 510 around on all those empty Montana roads sucks all that much either.

Langley's are awesome! "Skyline Mini"

My missus has an N13 and I want to convert the lights / grille / bumper to Langley ones down the track, but seems very hard to find the parts for it.

Also love the HR31 from Tasmania, One of the best looking R31's in Australia that I've seen.

That 72 Datsun 510 by Mr. King stole my heart though. What an awesome looking machine.

Vauxhall Chevette was produced for the UK market, it was named Isuzu Gemini in Australia and Buick Opel in US. In Europe it was Opel Kadett, in this case C-series...
