Will probably make 60K with few problems.

If it was an XKR with 20,000 miles and 60+K of tuning, would you have also called it overpriced?

Whether it's overpriced is subjective, but the car itself is of a seriously high spec and is regarded as being one of the very best GTR's out there - at least for the road anyway.

Would I pay the £60k+ for it? No, probably not. However, that's not to say it's not worth it. I doubt you could buy a standard R34 (never mind a NUR!) and build it to this spec for £68k.

That is georgeous. Love it to bits, bugger the price, you're not making an investment your buying out of passion if you buy something like that.

IMO of course.

First though was that it's overpriced. Then I read the spec list. Pretty reasonable price imo. 500ftlb!!! Awesome.

Great car...

I dont think it will sell for 60k tbh... but then i always do think heavily modified cars are overpriced by their owners, and more times than not, someones prepared to pay it!

probably worth about 50% of the purchase price + mods value, possibly less.

My rx might be worth 8.5k but I've spent close to 20k on it in total...

It would be a bit different if it was one of the very last Spirit R's which is more comparable to this car though, with this probably even being a lot rarer.

Regardless of price, you just know that that car will monster just about anything on the road, and that many people will not have a clue what it is. A real "WTF is that?" car. A rare and brutal alternative to M cars, RS audis and mental Porsches etc.

kinda agree, at £60k its competing with Euro badge snob level too, so it may not get much interest from the general market. A collector/racer type, like wossisname with the Jun Lemon would prob be happy to stump up that kinda cash for it.

I'm not sure I'd pay that price... I think it's probably worth about £40-50k. That said, the guy who's selling it is a well-known enthusiast on the GTR board, IIRC, which speaks volumes for the condition of the car.
