Not 48,000 k's, 48 ks.

Very cool indeed,

 

There is a house in the valley, which has a KE10, and KE20 brand new from the dealership as he use to run the dealership in the 60's locked away,

 

They are out there

That's awesome.

Mind. Is. Blown.

Very cool indeed,

Can you confirm this? Have you seen them??

 

Edit: If this is true he should build a shrine for all us Rolla nuts to come see them (through thick glass of corse). It would be like our Mecca :lol:

You can see from one of the pictures he's got one of those Radical SR8's (with the clinically insane Hyabusa V8) in the background.

 

The guy's rich, and from the looks of it, a wee bit mental.

Unfortunately I cannot confirm this, I have been advised by several enthusiasts and even a mature gentleman whom knew this person spoke with me at petrol station about a year ago,

 

These things are under lock and key, I did get a name and for the life of me can't remember

I never did run into the guy again who had the AE86 I found in the supermarket carpark in Cairns.

 

He bought it new and has owned it ever since, but seeing he and his wife have 4WDs it never gets used nowdays, and he was my age (60+)

 

He was driving it that day as his 4WD was in getting serviced.

 

So, they are still out there!!

A friend of mine has a TA23 I think, with delivery kilometres on it. I haven't seen it personally as it is stored away, but it occasionally gets displayed in dealerships with whom he is connected.

Meh some Fck head P plater will just jdm the shit out them one day and slap a dirty ass rb30 in it something..

My thoughts exactly Jono, some idiot will be saying that the 86 will be going to waste cause it isn't being drifted.

You have to question someones logic when they lock away what is/was, realisitically, not ever going to be a big dollar car.

 

I mean, its cool, but seriously? he couldnt think of something more investment worthy to lock away?

Why does it need to be an investment? It's a time capsule, you could test the air quality of Japan in the early 80's by the air in the spare tyre. While it may not have any real world value in terms of a high return investment, as a piece of automotive history its priceless.

If you really like something you will look after it no matter what it is.
