Motor Australia – September 2019

d motorofficial f motor_mag^83

ORIGINAL Hakosuka GT-Rs are so rare

that finding one in Australia is almost

impossible. We're told by clubs that only

one genuine car resides in this country. The

car pictured on these pages is a replica,

fitted with a different Nissan straight-six

engine. Real versions sometimes go up for

auction in the US, two recent ones fetching

USD$88,000 and USD$242,000 at RM

Sotheby's. The former was for a four-door

model (left), while the latter was for a

highly prized two-door.
