View auction inspection details and pictures for this 1993 R32 GTR
I’ve always loved the R32 Nissan Skyline GTR…. since the Bathurst days. I finally decided that i wanted one as a collectible as good ones are hard to come by. After exhausting
I called a few importers and Geoff @ Prestige Motorsport seemed to me someone who genuinely was interested in helping me find the GTR I was after. After signing up, Geoff kept me informed with cars I may be interested in and which auctions to look out for.
I eventually found the right car and Geoff kept me updated about the details of the car and sent lots of photos before the auction so I knew what I was paying for.
I’m very happy with the car and the service I received from Geoff at Prestige Motorsport to source my 1993 R32 GTR. I would happily recommend him to whoever is interested to source a car from Japan.
