2001 Toyota Hilux 3.0 Diesel 4WD Flat Deck – NZ New

A proper old-school Hilux that has clearly done a day’s work but still drives incredibly well.

2001 Toyota Hilux, NZ New, 3.0L diesel, 5-speed manual, 4WD single cab with a heavy-duty flat deck.

The last owner had it for 19 years, which is a great bit of history for a ute of this age. It has obviously spent its life as a working/farm truck, so don’t expect a showroom vehicle — there are plenty of marks and signs of use — but mechanically it feels remarkably good and drives incredibly well.

We have just had it through the workshop and prepared it for sale, including:

* Brand-new WOF
* Brand-new service
* RUC paid right through to 486,411 km
* Front seat repaired
* 3.0L EFI diesel
* 5-speed manual
* Four-wheel drive
* NZ New
* Single cab
* Heavy-duty flat deck
* Bull bar
* Towbar
* Current odometer approximately 474,566 km

This isn’t one that’s been tarted up to look like something it isn’t. It’s an honest, high-kilometre NZ New Hilux that’s been used for what Toyota built it for. It will probably end up back on a farm, lifestyle block or building site, and that’s exactly where it belongs.

If you’re after a cheap, tough 4WD diesel workhorse with a fresh WOF, fresh service and plenty of RUC up its sleeve, this old Hilux is well worth a look.

The interior is particularly impressive with its black leather sports seating, red stitching, panoramic glass roof and brushed aluminium-style trim. It presents extremely well and has a quality, sporty feel throughout.

The metallic brown exterior looks superb and is complemented by the five-spoke factory alloys, chrome detailing and silver lower body trim.

🌅 An early start this morning at Butler Motor Company!

The FPV GT 40th Anniversary BOSS 290 was picked up bright and early and loaded onto the transporter with Classic Car Towing, heading north to its new owner.

Potentially one of the coolest cars we’ll sell for years to come — and certainly one we won’t forget in a hurry.

With its black and gold colour scheme, BOSS 290 V8 and serious Australian muscle-car pedigree, this one looked absolutely unreal under the yard lights before sunrise.

Sad to see it leave, but great to see another special car heading off to its next chapter.

Safe travels north! 👌🇳🇿

1962 Volkswagen Beetle 1200 – NZ NEW – 2 OWNERS – EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY

In 30 years of buying, selling and collecting old cars, this is quite simply the best Beetle I have ever owned.

This is a genuine 1962 Volkswagen Beetle 1200, New Zealand New, and its history and condition are something we simply don’t come across anymore.

Just TWO owners from brand new. Both owners were from Oxford, Canterbury, and were friends. The first owner purchased the Beetle brand new in 1962 and kept it for around 40 years before passing it on to her friend in the early 2000s. She has owned and cared for it ever since.

Even better, the car comes with an incredible history file, including service records, receipts and documentation dating right back to 1963. The original VW Motors (NZ) Ltd Christchurch wallet and period books are still with the car. This isn’t a Beetle with a story that’s been pieced together — the history is there with it.

The condition underneath and throughout is what really sets this car apart. It is the driest Beetle I have ever seen. There is no rust, and we’re told it has never been left outside in the rain and has been garaged throughout its life. Anyone who knows early Beetles will understand just how exceptional that is.

It remains beautifully honest and wonderfully original in appearance, right down to the period details, steel wheels and hubcaps, chrome work, simple 1200 interior and fantastic pale green colour. It hasn’t been turned into something it was never meant to be —
There are plenty of restored Beetles around. There are plenty that have changed hands countless times, had rust repairs, replacement interiors, colour changes and lost their history along the way.

This is different.

Two owners. New Zealand New. More than six decades of documented history. Remarkably dry and incredibly well preserved.

If you have been waiting for the right early Beetle rather than simply another Beetle, I genuinely believe this is the one.

We will not get another opportunity like this.

It is priced to sell, and for someone wanting one of the best, most honest and best-documented early NZ-new Beetles we have come across, it deserves serious consideration.

Come in and have a look – a neat old Mazda that you don’t see every day.

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.
