I wish them a lot of luck, they're gonna need it.

An old girlfriend of mine (many many years ago) had an 808 wagon her dad was gonna fix up for her. It was gonna be a bog and paint job type car as her first car. She wasn't sure about the car, at the time I said it's kind of cool looking, put a rotary in it haha. (I was a teenager at the time). I don't know what happened to that car, probably ended up on the scrap heap by now (this was late 90s). Who would have thought the humble 808 wagon's would be worth anything all these years later?

Super clean early 240z just sold (before it made it to BAT). https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=634486290447245 https://www.facebook.com/The-240z-Guild-463701714192371/

Dirty rotor...done right.

And we know why that is the case don't we @AndBir

Update: I've used stacked.co.jp to help ship a bonnet in from Japan. I would recommend them in terms of packaging and arrival here in Sydney. The only caveat is they don't immediately respond to emails and so you are best to approach them several days in advance of auction end to help facilitate larger items such as panels, motors, gearboxes etc.. I would use them again for shipping large items from Japan and YAJ!

https://gosfordclassiccars.com.au/closed/ Really the museum is more of a classic car dealership than anything else. A museum has exhibits with information about each car. It doesn't flog off those exhibits later. I have little sympathy for them to be honest.

Can I ask what it costs to build such a shed? I'm looking at potentially building similar in future and just wondering what costs are like? Feel free to PM me if preferred?

Looks like an early car too!

I imagine it will go a lot higher.. I am guessing $50-$60k AUD maybe more? Edit spoke too soon: 4,500,000 yen already - which is about $57,000 AUD. Don't be surprised if it hits $70-$80k. The same year "260z" in Australia would struggle to get $40k-$45k funnily enough..

Interestingly the car was removed from sale yesterday, right after this information was posted to a few Facebook groups. Probably because fair trading is keeping a keen eye on Mr Lee's. As an FYI, I don't think Grade R cars are necessarily bad cars. A car can be considered Grade R and only have had cosmetic (non structural damage) on Japanese Auction Sheets. However this car was likely to have sold at a significant discount at auction as a result of it's Grade R status. It has clearly been through the compliance process here (and via Mr Lee's on shop) which I doubt would have gone over it with a fine tooth comb for problems and is now being passed on as a "mint" example. If the car was a mint grade 4.5 car (as it's been presented) it likely would get $50k AUD at auction in Japan. Interestingly if you drive along Parramatta Rd, you could see various car dealerships. Which appear to all be owned by the same operator. Edward Lee's has been rebranded, and looks like a new business, but it's literally the same company and the yards next door the same also. You would think you're going to a competitor, but in actual fact they have the same operator behind them. Every time they slip up I'll keep posting it here.

Leopards can't change their spots. But some try...

I revived my 71 auto after a long slumber. It's a good feeling seeing the motor spin over freely and happily after sitting silently for so long.

Your car now?

Any idea what the original engine no. was? I'm guessing it was also originally a manual car. #868 had L24-039187 #879 had L24-039427 So I'm guessing engine no. for #875 will be around that.
