Be aware these things are very rare, there's probably only a couple of dozen in the whole country... so if you ever need parts you might have a hard time finding them (depending what it is).
Oh, and IMO they're ugly as sin.

Allan just likes ugly - how else do you explain the fact that he refuses to go out with me?

It actually looks somewhat like those 4 door hatch corona's, Not sure the year or model but they have a 5 speed badge on the back...

Given that there are only 3 people in the country who want these, not much.
That said, all 3 would probably kill for a rust free variant.
From the door back is RA40 so you'd be right for bits there. The front is all exclusively MA45/6/7 - good luck finding those bits. Interior bits are exclusively MA45/6/7 - don't break 'em!

I would pay $50 for one of them. That's just me though. IMO that is one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. Second the Renault Megane

actualy the hatch and rear panel are different the only thing an ra40 is good for is rear bar and doors
anyone that owns an MA45/46 basicly regrets ever laying eyes on one thay are like a cocane habbit without the feeling of europhia, unless you REALLY REALLY want it let it go, no one respects them to the point of some people damaging them without care
parts require buying a whole car or importing stuff from the states $$$$
and basicly theres very little left in australia worth looking at!

No praise for the MK1 Supra?
I think they're great.
Just on GT's comment about rust free variants; I've owned at least half a dozen of these cars and never found rust to be an issue. In my experience they've proven to be quite a solid old car.
