British Leyland Mini Clubman, Mitsubishi Minica Toppo Town Bee, BMW R 90/6: The Dopest Cars for Sale Online This Week

Vintage Mercedes diesel fans have had a debate raging on for decades. What is the best old diesel Benz? Is it the stately W114, the bulletproof W123, or the retro W124? If you fall into that latter group, a seller out in Camarillo, California has a treat for you.

The W124 wasn’t just a styling departure from its predecessor — it was a thoroughly modern upgrade with tons of new-at-the-time tech. The rear end had a five-link suspension that was introduced in the earlier W201 190. That’s something found on many cars today, but back then it was rare.

The W124's 1980s design vibes also meant that it had a coefficient of drag of 0.30. This one has 222,785 miles, which is nothing for the 3.0-liter OM603 turbodiesel inline-six. It makes 143 hp and 196 lb-ft of torque. It’s $7,600 on Facebook Marketplace.

The SUV splashed out on your screen isn’t an alternate-reality Range Rover, but an Italian luxury barge. The Tom Tjaarda-designed Rayton-Fissore Magnum, perhaps better known as the Laforza, was a 4x4 that started life as a vehicle for military and police before its creator decided to chase Land Rover’s best.

It rides on an Iveco 40.10 chassis and is powered by a 5.0-liter Ford Windsor V8 making 225 hp driving all four wheels through an automatic transmission.

The real selling point is inside, where you get leather, burled walnut, and power everything. It’s also a rare beast, with just 1,200 known to have been imported to our shores. This one will need new keys to drive, but when that’s done you’ll have a rare off-roader for $10,000 on Facebook Marketplace in Tampa, Florida. Mileage is a low 53,000.

One of the coolest cars to wear the Chrysler badge in the aughts was actually a Mercedes-Benz underneath. But it certainly had a far more distinctive look than any of its siblings from Germany. That car was the Chrysler Crossfire and the SRT-6 before you is the best version of that machine.

There’s a Mercedes R170 SLK platform hiding underneath the metal. At the time, the platform was already a touch outdated: Mercedes itself had already moved on to the newer R171. But that doesn’t mean that the Crossfire isn’t worth consideration.

Under the hood is a supercharged 3.2-liter V6 making 330 hp and 310 lb ft of torque. A car bearing the three-pointed star with this engine at the time would also have an AMG badge on the back.

This one is $12,400 on CarGurus by Cars Plus in Lenoir, North Carolina with 121,710 miles.

This vintage ride caught my eye with its two-tone paint, then drew me in with that classic coupe body. The Royal is a full-size car offered by Chrysler that first appeared in the 1930s. It was available in a variety of body styles, including the coupe that you see here. These are notable for their streamlined styling.

Royals built in the later part of the 1930s like this one featured six-cylinder engines. The seller doesn’t note what is under the hood of this one, but it should be a 3.7-liter straight six making 93 hp.

It’s noted as running and driving, but it could use a refreshed interior and some carb work. It’s $25,000 on Facebook Marketplace in Mechanicsville, Virginia.

Few motorcycles have as much of a striking design as an old BMW with its prominent and thick boxer twin poking out of both sides.

The R 90 is no exception, and it pairs the vintage style that riders love with a modest 60 hp and 53 lb-ft power output.

These “slash six” bikes are updated on the previous “slash five” models with a higher 600cc minimum displacement, the introduction of a front disc brake, different instrumentation design and other changes.

The seller for this one says it’s in good condition for $6,500 on Facebook Marketplace in Middletown, Rhode Island with 12,474 miles.

Here’s a tiny Japanese market kei car with a big interior and looks that betray its 1997 model year. The Minica Toppo is a tall MPV based on the Minica. You could fit a lot in that trunk, especially with the rear seat removed. This Minica Toppo is the weird Town Bee trim, which makes it look

This one comes with a Mitsubishi 4A30 four making 54 hp and mated to an automatic. As a summer bonus, it has working air-conditioning! It’s $8,795 in Athens, Tennessee. Ad courtesy of Obscure Cars for Sale.

The classic Mini was the people’s car of Britain. It was cheap, it was practical, and it had loads of style. The original Mini was so influential that in 1999, the New York Times called it the second most most significant car of the automotive age, right behind the Ford Model T.

The Mini got a number of updates throughout its production, including one in 1969 when then owner British Leyland gave it a facelift. You probably notice the biggest change already with its new, mature snout.

Power comes from an 1,098cc four making 45 hp. This one comes from New Zealand and has been dolled up as a rally car. It features some mods like a stage one kit and an exhaust. It’s $11,000 on Facebook Marketplace in Orlando, Florida with 85,000 miles.

The J40 series of Land Cruiser is legendary for its off-road capability and rugged simplicity. Original production ran from 1960 to 1984 with Brazil keeping it going until 2001. This is a 4x4 that conquers territory all over world to this very day.

This 1980 example comes from South America and it has remained mostly stock. Power comes from a 3.0-liter Toyota B diesel four making 80 hp and 141 lb-ft torque. That is sent to all four wheels through a manual transmission. The 4x4 also features locking hubs.

The paint isn’t perfect and there’s some rust, but this import is said to run and drive well. It’s $24,000 on Facebook Marketplace in Bend, Oregon.

You know what’s a wild classic car to own? A fire engine. You should buy a classic fire engine...at least before I do.

The seller doesn’t say a whole lot about this beauty, but the pictures give some clues. It’s built on a medium duty GMC chassis and there is a GMC V6 under the hood. For this year the truck had the option of a 5.0-liter V6 that made 155 gross hp, a 5.0-liter V6 that made 165 hp, and a 5.7-liter V6 making 190 hp. According to a brochure from the era, the cabs of these trucks were designed with hooded instrumentation to reduce glare and seats to increase comfort.

It’s $9,000 on Facebook Marketplace in Pewamo, Michigan with 9,500 miles.
