I think the two Silver ones at BingoSport are the only road cars still for sale in Japan now. According to a source who had inquired about purchasing one from them, they are not interested in selling the F1s outside of Japan. That's a strange way to do the business of selling million dollar plus supercars in my opinion. Given the limited market for those cars as it is, I would imagine finding any buyer might be difficult at times, but it's their business.

The silver F1 that was for sale at LMP Cars (#070 we believe) is now marked sold in their inventory list. The silver one spotted in the Miyaoka showroom was almost certainly the same F1. Here's the last shots from LMP's website:



Before they sold it they added a satellite navigation unit, fitted HIDs to the car, and changed the battery.


Photo #1 comes 'oh so close' to making it into the chassis plaque thread.
