Equipment
RHD. 2,568/276hp, twin turbo inline six, 5-speed.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
1600 km from new. The lower lip of the front bumper has noticeable scuffs and scrapes on the left side, the front grille has 3 chips in the painted mesh, the headlight have some mild fogging, a 1 inch paint crack is under the third brake light, the engine compartment is aged and exposed aluminum is noticeably oxidized as well as exposed steel bits, the subframe appears greasy from a small oil leak, the interior shows little meaningful wear. A low kilometer car that shows like one with more kilometers. A good car but doesn't meet expectations given the odometer.
Market commentary
One of six Skylines in the Monterey auctions, this one is more worn than the reported 1,600km would promise but still is unrestored and presentable. With the opening of the 25 year legal import window Skylines are everywhere and their sale results largely depend upon whether buyers are aware of how many of them there are or oblivious to availability and rely on legendary performance and restricted availability. This result suggests it was "oblivious."
