probably a repost but came across this on speedhunters

http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010...ord-rs200.aspx

 

interesting :/

 

Good find that !

 

nice, looks like its sat there for a few years

 

Why cant i ever find anything like that?

 

Rep?

 

Unlikely, I bet it is a genuine car

 

It would be great to find out the real story.

 

the bmw at the side of it looks like its been there just as long real shame

 

I'd very much doubt it, has splitties on it too and a more 'genuine' look about it.

 

As painful as it is, theres something so cool about abandoned car pics

 

 

have seen it before, its a old car sales firm that went bust there are quite a few mote cars then those two just sat there all gathering dust, its quite errie

 

looks like the evo model too

 

How intimidating does the front on picture look, imagine that behind you with all pod lights blazing

 

So do I....that ain't going to be a copy.

 

If you look very close on this shot, it has the blue motorsport stripes on the side and white square on door for racing number.

so why didnt the administrators sieze them as disposable assets to offset the debt?? and if there is no debt why did the owners not keep them/sell them??

 

maybe there wasnt any debtors but the owner decided not to carry on, do you know the bankruptcy laws in japan?,

ive seen the other pics a few years back, will try tofind them

 

the bmw next to it is also looking like it could be a rare valuble model, if i´m right then its a 7 series but its on alpina wheels so poss. a full alpina 7 series. not as special as the rs200 i agree but this was obviously no basic car dealership.

do you think the japan goverment will abide by the age old tradition of "finders keepers, loosers weepers" i could just shout it as a wizz through customs at 150

 

It's an early E34 M5 next to it by the looks of it as someones posted on the thread.

 

Depends on whatever Japanese law is mate, or if they even knew about them at the time !

 

God that needs saving!

I believe some were like that, maybe the Evo models or it was a dealer option

 

Suprised you say that as it looks like the same exact car in your avatar to me!

 

i know its stupid to post now as i have no other info but this has been in the pipeline for just over a week now


watch this space

mk1 lotus twin cam escort and 1600e cortina driven into garage and not touched in years



im so fucking hoping in a weeks or so time i can post some info and some pics of use removing them, we are basicly waiting for the logbooks from the deceased blokes grandson, if we are very lucky and it comes up we are getting them for free !!!!!!



but as i say pie int he sky at mo but it does look extremely promising

 

Poor car.I hope it will get saved.

 

on http://rs200.com/ there is a jap rs200 listed

 

but is it an evo?

 

early e34 m5 on the wheels before the throwing stars came out

 

Judging By The Way The Wipers Are, Its A Left Hooker.

There Is A Few On The Rs200 Website That Are Registered In Japan including This One

E270AHJ LHD Unknown EVO




Sold to a Hajimu Tanaka from Japan through G P Enterprises from Berks, UK May around May 1988

Possibilty ?

 

i want it

I cant understand people who abandon these cars and just leave them there to rot away,

 

obv got far to much money if its left there and forgotten about!

 

It's an interesting story. TBH though, it might not have been there all that long. Tokio is a very poluted, dusty city and it's exposed behind that shutter. My Escorts easily as dirty as that and it's only been up the barn 10 months.

 

WOW, i would be knocking doors see if anyone knew who it was and wanted to sell it lol.

 

At least the body work won't rust

 

good find

 

Get the bloke who owns the bonkers collection onto the job go along side the latest addition he got from that garage find!

 

awesome find.....imagine finding that!!

 

At least it is still alive. Cant be that many rs200's left now?
