There was a huge buzz when this genuine s20 engined C10 was first offered for sale by a dealer here in UK. Price was POA which later was revealed to be offers in excess of £220k.
It remains unsold and the asking price keeps dropping by tens of thousands and recently it was offered at auction but reserve not met I guess.. Now the latest price is an affordable £120k ( which I suspect is open to £10-15k negotiation for serious buyer)

I am curious as to why it not been snapped up thus far?
This is against a backdrop where prices are sky rocketing in Japan and I guess one would struggle to buy an equivalent model in Japan for less than £120k. So price point now is not bad at all.
A few months ago, a very well presented C10 with RB26 was listed for £120k and sold for six figure sum.
Is it because the white GT-R isn't visually as appealing due to stock steel wheels and ride height etc and this is putting buyers off as it does not draw in the crowds?
I would have thought a serious collector would have jumped at the opportunity to buy a non molested and stock looking s20 engined car given how few are left back in Japan that have not been " modified" ?
Maybe the bubble has burst with Hako's now and the cool kids have moved to later model JDM cars like R34's and Honda NsX's ? And those who want one are prepared to settle for the non GT-R siblings which can be modified and not loose value from an investment perspective.?
