I remember seeing one in a showroom beside a new 'Vette. Both were well under $10k. They were still the most expensive cars in the place, though.

Japanese plate but left hand drive?
I'm confused as usual.

When I bought my R1200 GS, I bought it from a service member who'd recently come back from Germany. He was having difficulty selling it since it was a military sales overseas purchase and then shipped to the US-- the paperwork was a *nightmare*. But, since I knew how to get it licensed/registered (I'm retired Military), I made him a fair offer and he accepted.
I flew out to Tucson and he picked me up at the airport. We went over to his place to pick up the bike. While we were driving to his house, I was chatting with him about why he was selling an almost brand-new bike with only 700 miles on it. His answer was that his wife was pregnant, and she put down the law that he was only able to have one "toy". He opened up the garage, and there was a classic right-hand drive Skyline GTR sitting next to the bike. It was a "WTF, over?" moment. I was boggled that he had one, since they're just about impossible to import to the US. He said that it was just barely 25 years old, so he was able to bring it into the country. He'd found it in Germany (and don't ask me how a Japan-spec GTR made it there), bought it, drove it there, and then delayed his return to the US until the car went over 25 years, so he could have the Government ship it back for him. Sometimes it helps to know the rules well enough to take advantage of them. And I got a great bike out of the deal! R.

I had an '85 RX-7 and an '04 RX-8. Loved them both. Smooth as glass, right up to 9000 RPM.

Here is a link with info about that car (our car looked exactly like this): https://www.supercars.net/blog/1979%...avanna-series/ It was so cool! I loved how the side view mirrors were mounted above the front wheel fenders, instead of on the doors. Anyways, my Dad ended up bringing this car to the U.S. where he gave it to my sister, who drove it during her college years at SCAD in Savannah. Ultimately, it was sold to my cousin who lived in Canada and after a few years (we're now well into the early 90s) he sold it. After that, I lost track of it. But it was so cool!

1961 Pontiac Tempest: Front engine and transaxle like a 924/928 but they were not the first, as the design can be traced back to 1908 by Csonka automobile from Hungary.
