Iconic Japanese sports car worth £50k when new now has a value THREE times higher
AN iconic Japanese sports car worth £50,000 when new now has a value three times higher.
Supercar dealer Tom Hartley has listed a Nissan Skyline GT-R for £179, 950.
The kudos surrounding the rare motor helps explain why it has trebled in value since it rolled off the production line.
The motor, associated with the ‘import racing scene’ of the 90s and 00s, was made famous by the Fast & Furious film series.
This particular model features original factor specification, original condition, unmodified condition and an original service book and handbook.
The advert reads: “Unleash the legend with this iconic 2000 Nissan Skyline 2.6 GT-R!
“Featuring a powerful 2.6L twin-turbocharged engine, this performance beast delivers an exhilarating driving experience.
The Nissan Skyline
The GT-R lineage first began in 1969 with the PGC10
The brand took off with the R32 when it won serial Japanese Grand Touring Championships.
Built between 1999 and 2002 the R34 became an instant pop culture icon with its role in 2 Fast 2 Furious as the late Paul Walker’s big introduction car.
R34s became the street kings of the underground Daikoku car scene.
The 5.8in display features real-time engine data and vehicle telemetry, including temperatures and readings
“With its sleek, aerodynamic design and advanced all-wheel-drive system, the GT-R stands out in both style and capability.
“Meticulously maintained and in pristine condition, this rare gem offers unparalleled handling and speed. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of automotive history.”
Famous dealership Tom Hartley cleared £20million in profit last year thanks to “unique” business model.
The wealthy motor dealer made an eight-figure sum after shifting off 77 cars in just 11 months.
Speaking to cardealermagazine, car dealer Tom, said: “It was a very good year and I’m very proud of my small but extremely capable team.
“Our turnover was in fact well over £200,000,000, as sales were also concluded on cars that we didn’t have in stock but received commission from.”
Tom went on to say that the reason he’s able to maximise profits is because of “unique business model” that he claims is not the same as his competitors.
