    SUMMARY

    With just 18,400 miles from new, a best of breed example of this formidable Japanese GT.

    DESCRIPTION

    Background:

    Successor to the legendary Skyline R32, the 1995 R33 GTR was released to worldwide praise. Creating a benchmark of performance, being the first production car to set a sub-eight minute lap time around the Nürburgring Nordschleife, not to be broken until the R34 GTR.

    The Car:

    In 1997 this best of breed example of the R33 GTR landed on our shores having been imported from Japan. The car was first purchased in 1999 by the first owner with just 300km (180 miles) on the clock, where the speedo was promptly converted to miles. The car was subsequently looked after by Middlehurst Motorsports, legendary GTR specialists.

    Over the next few years the car covered just 18,000 miles until 2017, when the car was SORN'ed until 2023 when the car changed hands to its current owner. The car subsequently received a condition report where any imperfections were addressed and is now presented in immaculate condition. The car upholds this condition underneath, with experts stating the car possibly has never seen rain due to the nuts and straps being in 'as-new' condition.

    The car retains all the original handbooks, the two original keys as well as the gold GTR key. All import papers, invoices or work done and even the Bill of Sale is included.

    The registration R33 WOW is also included in the sale.
