Well spotted. It's being bigged up with the racing history - I didn't know it raced in europe in period? Is that true?

Re: 1995 Tokyo Motor Show 'F for sale.
Interesting! Or may be it didn't sell the last time? Or is there something fundamentally wrong with it, leading to a hasty re-sale?
On a tangent:
This is very similar to where I am planning to remount Project Shed's battery - so very interesting to see!

Re: 1995 Tokyo Motor Show 'F for sale.
It definitely would - and the condition shown in the pictures would make it an excellent show car.
I'd be nervous to race that again!

I've been quite tempted, but would have to change the suspension to enable it to be used on the road

Re: 1995 Tokyo Motor Show 'F for sale.
It sold in September at Bonhams for £4,500, so it may drop a little more if people do their research.

Re: 1995 Tokyo Motor Show 'F for sale.
Interesting. Has the car actually been changing hands at all, or simply being re-listed to get the seller's desired price?
Or is it being repeatedly being "flipped" because there is something wrong with it?

Re: 1995 Tokyo Motor Show 'F for sale.
Word has it that it has lost many 'interesting' parts, and most recent picture and description I saw didn't mention the hardtop. I would have thought though, given it's history as the Tokyo show car it would find a long term owner, provided it is realistically priced of course.

Re: 1995 Tokyo Motor Show 'F for sale.
It keeps getting flipped? Speculators or a problem with the car?
