About this collection

The right spec, with condition evidence

With enthusiast cars, the badge is only the start. The exact model, engine, gearbox and trim decide whether a car is the one you want — and condition evidence decides whether it is worth bidding on.

The collection covers sports cars and drivers’ cars: the Nissan Skyline and Fairlady Z, Mazda Roadster (the Japanese MX-5), Honda Civic Type R and S660, Toyota 86 and Supra, Subaru WRX, and the tiny Daihatsu Copen.

We look for evidence before recommending a bid: the auction grade, the inspector’s notes on accident repair and modifications, and clear photographs of the underside and interior. If a car does not have that evidence, we say so.

What we look for

  • The exact specification: engine, gearbox, trim and factory options
  • Modifications declared on the auction sheet
  • Accident repair and panel notes on the sheet diagram
  • Underside photographs and rust notes
