Re: Recap of the Japanese F1 fleet - Take 2

Some small chance this car has simply been purchased by ArtSports to be held onto and not necessarily for sale. I believe they did the same with #029 for several years. Certainly with the direction prices are moving this isn't a bad idea but the point is that it may not go anywhere quick.

The reason I mention this is I have translated the headline announcing this car on the main page of their site and the result is "ArtSport Collection" and it does not yet appear in their stock list.

Re: Recap of the Japanese F1 fleet - Take 2

Itīs cool to see current pics because for many years we had no pics at all.
Maybe Henry can say us if the car was cared after by the factory.

I wonder if 029 and 060 could be connected.

Re: Recap of the Japanese F1 fleet - Take 2

ArtSports have updated their site with more photos of what should almost certainly be #060. No shot of the interior, but it is quite clear that all the plastic still remains giving the next owner the chance to unwrap their very own 'new' F1.

http://www.wintel.co.jp/wintel/owa/p...1&in_carno=208

One odd thing I just noticed - they appear to have photoshopped out Gordon Murray's signature from the rear bumper in the photo on their website...

#013, and now [potentially] this one losing GM's signature

Yes Patrick - they are only considering potential owners from the Netherlands just to make it easy for you.

Re: Recap of the Japanese F1 fleet - Take 2

Do you think the car was serviced regularly by the factory ?

Dud adverts - check out the Kawahra Website and they have Andys GTR for sale, #27R, #19R, 2 F1 road cars etc etc

It just drives traffic to their website and aren't selling them

Slight Hatchett Job on Yahoo...

This write-up recently appeared on Yahoo! Autos in regards to 060's availability. The last paragraph seems to be the only one approaching 90% accuracy...

http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoram...185433395.html

I thought briefly about posting the correct link to Wintel, but decided against it.

Re: Recap of the Japanese F1 fleet - Take 2

Yes - a blog called Daily Auto Fix dreamed up the story of zero miles, and wrote an article about that which has since gone viral. It's literally been repeated in a dozen places so far, with the big exceptions being AutoBlog and Jalopnik so far as I can tell. It was my efforts on another forum that got Yahoo's version of the article updated - those are my comments they used, not necessarily how I would have composed them, but at least it makes the article more accurate than it was.

OK, just read through the Vortex thread; many thanks. Very interesting to read about the regular care 060 has received over the years, though I'm amazed no pictures of it being flatbedded for servicing have ever surfaced.

Re: Recap of the Japanese F1 fleet - Take 2

The car was 'refreshed' and the colour change was part of that
