I bought a Nissan Skyline GTR in 2016 - when they were still cheap.
Its 26 years old now - riding the bubble, and see what happens.
Rapidly approaching old car status..
Is it stock or modified finding an unmodified one is hard as there days what generation r32 or r33

Hard to imagine someone, proud as punch, drove that home, brand new, from the dealer huh.

It has tags, so would be perfect to rebirth a stolen Monaro by the scumbags of the earth.

About all its got too.

Does my head in, when they let them rot to this point, then choose to sell.

Let someone get it while its a doable thing.

It could still be restored from what it is, but geez, why would you put ya self through that much hurt.

For me, as much as I like the engineering of the Torana .. Its the HD ute for the win .. Ticks all the boxes, done as best as a non professional  can do, with minimal budget and help ..
The Essence of what street machine was all about featuring when it started, Grass roots home builds done by ordinary blokes on limited $$$ budgets ..

174 Car Barn Find

The London Barn Finds Instagram page is running the auction and has shared details of the cars currently stored in the warehouse. Some include a 1973 Porsche 911 and a 1975 BMW 2002, along with a bunch of classic Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including a 1987 G-Class (or 'G-Wagen), an R107-generation 280SL, and countless old 350 and 500SL classics.
