Insist on seeing the original Japanese auction appraisal sheet. If you cant see it: do not buy the car, theres no good reason for not making it available. Youll be looking for either a Grade4 or a Grade3.5 car.

That is extremely rare, you struggle to find a 3.5 94/94 car; let alone a Grade4. I bid on an Evolution (CD9A) that was graded 4.5 a few months ago, it was the first one that Id seen in three years of looking (at hundreds of cars a day, perhaps thousands!).

Agreed. This one came across as a 98 facelift model. I'll post the report with the pics and spec when she comes back from the garage (having a few bits done).
