Well, today, the dream came true, & the day has finally come.
The "Competizione R" as Smokey Nagata names this 34, is now on its way from my friend Gio (owner and person who built this car with Smokeys input over 8 years)
Before I go onto talk about the collection & shipping. A number of people have asked me what the difference is on the limited edition 30 unit HKS Vcam model I have. So Gio explained to me that the difference is:
(Gio and another friend of ours Dave, purchased 2 units via Top Secret, with HKS keeping 2 back themselves) As far as we know, no other units exist outside the RH9 demo cars.
1. These units were not offered to customers to purchase
2. Sold to the RH9 shops only, such as Top Secret
3. GT-R’s had to be “pre-approved” by HKS Japan
4. Were pre-production models, to show what the VCAM to do
5. Fitted to the RH9 demo cars
6. All ltd edition VCAMS were hand built, with superior parts than is widely found in the VCAMs now available.
7. mental price tag lol
I hope this helps people’s questions.
I thought this would be interesting for others to see, and certainly makes the wait for me more exciting!
At 10am local Japanese time, we arranged for a bespoke car trailer to arrive at Gio’s & collect the HipoGTR.
No expense is being spared in bringing this car to the UK in tip top condition, as I want it to arrive in perfect condition.
Gio was kind enough to take some pictures of it, as it left….
Waiting for its low loader….
Snug and lovely interior
