The Legend - AE86

[Feast Japan]

No, its not a Silvia. And no, it will never be as fast as a well sorted Silvia. But one thing is for sure, this Legend will never phase out.

Pleased to share this immaculate 1984 model, Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex. It came from a quiet little town in Aichi prefecture, quite close to Toyota City. Had two previous owners and a very meticulous life up to now.

All stock save for updated Hayashi 14" wheels, KYB dampers, TRD springs, Toms steering wheel and an authentic TRD shift handle. Worth mentioning that three years back, it seen a high quality re-spray. Nothing was overlooked at that time. All trim removed, new badges put in place etc. They did a proper job on it!

I doubt the new owner is on this club. He is a member of Skyline Owners USA. And just sold off his BNR32 to get into this classic.

Some fruity photos of this classic machine... enjoy!

Just one more photo. Taken on Tuesday just after collecting this gem. Wish the image turned out better. Back drop was a classic.

That loos amazing! The interior is the most retro thing I have ever seen! Out of interest, how much do cars like this cost in Japan?

That white car had 150K KM on it, newer paint, solid nderbody with really no rust at all. Being in great shape like this, the FOB cost was nearly 600,000 JPY + shipping. This is more or less the budget area needed to gain one in similar condition. And of course, one would be cheaper with higher mileage, older paint etc.

In Japan some specialty dealers will charge close to double that for the car alone. They are all hung up. Fair game, its their wait.

Fair play dude that is one sexy looking hachi-roku!! :thumbs:


I did consider these but I haven't got the money nor time at the moment for all the TLC these cars need and I'll end up drifting her in a vain attempt to be like Takumi Fujiwara hmmmm... maybe not!! haha

£4500 give or take??? that is a bargain for one of those! spose to own one over here then shipping etc would have to be taken into account, but still....
