davidtran Posted 20February, 2018 Report Share Posted 20February, 2018 I remember it being for sale when I was looking. A fellow member had checked it out, but couldn't agree on a price with the owner. Car presents well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 20February, 2018 Report Share Posted 20February, 2018 The number plate boom is alive and well. $268k for 124, that has got to be a record for a 3 digit..... Just googled, it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just googled, it is. Yeah - very old number plates are a favourite for Self-Managed SuperFunds money. A mate has a 2 digit Vic plate on his daily drive SUV. You put modern copies of the original on your car & look at them appreciating every day. With artwork / collectable cars / holiday houses, in SMSF you are not supposed to get any day-to-day pleasure from them; apart from measuring their increase in value & selling them.

If I'm correct the car was advertised elsewhere prior. I remember the sticker kit unless it was a very similar car. I rremember reading it on here.

Dalai Posted 20February, 2018 Report Share Posted 20February, 2018 Low km's - but only NA and Targa. Outrageous money! Recently bought a JDM Turbo hardtop specifically to set up for and use at hill climbs / club sprints. Better now not crash it if prices go stupid for these cars!

I've had my AW11 Super Edition for around 10 years. Cannot find it in my heart to part with it. Great little cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 20February, 2018 Report Share Posted 20February, 2018 It will be interesting to see what the 930 in the March auctions sells for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vl gra Posted 20February, 2018 Report Share Posted 20February, 2018 @James P bloody bargain. Looked very nice. Don't know why people would buy a hotrod or g series for the same money as your turbo. Different horses for courses i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Race Posted 20February, 2018 Report Share Posted 20February, 2018 Re Obrut's question. Left to right conversions will almost always pull the value of a car down. In some cases by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
