Zenki two door Trueno from Japan
It has been nine and a half years since, but I'm back into the list of AE86 owners!
What started out as an over lunch discussion, ended up in winning this auction during the weekend: The conversation was basically around getting a car myself from Japan, fixing it up and then reselling it. I did some math and found it was doable. So I got in touch with an importer (actually exporting cars from Japan) and after two months reading up on auction sheets and doing a couple of bids I won this one. Blue zenki interior, where the front appears in good condition: Set of black eight spoke Zenki lip: Rear seats seem to have rips: But overall, a very good looking car! Bad things known from the auction sheet: 1. Seat ripped (see photo) 2. Various scratches 3. Floor has corrosion and rust 3 could be bad, but that's something we'll probably see in a walkaround video soon. But with the current prices for hachis it wasn't a bad deal after all. And it reminds me a bit of a certain hachi: So it may be difficult to part from... 1982 - TA60 Carina 4dr sedan - fun cruiser 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: |

As I already have a very practical daily driver, it will become an occasional drive car. Probably going to meetups and such. BTW: while being busy with bidding I did come across a genuine Black Limited, but lacked the necessary decals. Sold in the end for 1.4M yen and was no where near my budget. 1982 - TA60 Carina 4dr sedan - fun cruiser 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: |

Congrts, looks like a very tidy car. Can't wait to see more when it lands in the netherlands.
I was looking for skylines on auctions but the nice prices in japan weren't so nice anymore once i added belgian taxes. ハチロク |

R32s are out of reach already, the R34 is already a rare car and keeps being expensive and the R30 has become extinct and costs the same as a good AE86. R33 and R31 are probably the only "affordable" Skylines at the moment. 1982 - TA60 Carina 4dr sedan - fun cruiser 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: |
