Strange, I posted this link a couple of days ago but it seems to have disappeared. Apologies for those who don't have facebook access:

A 1953? PV444 with a B16 engine. Not sure if that is correct for 53, I thought it was a 1400cc engine back then. Nice condition in an original plum color. At $12500 CDN price seems ok. Room for improvement.

This reminds me very much of my '83 245 with similar rust. I bet there are holes in the floor. Mine has auto and 250K miles.

Found on Autotrader in Ohio: 2002 V70 T5 manual, ODO inoperable, reporting ~120k miles, ~$2750. Not an R, might be close enough, but without the cracked engine blocks.
