Wrong hand drive. Hasn’t seen daylight in 5 years. Dubious description. No registration, no history, no keys, and apparently? no VIN.

If it was nearby I’d actually be tempted to take a look just for the hell of it.

Where would you even start with that car? Probably buy it cheap and yank the engine/trans for a swap.

Even then, old 750Lis are much easier to come by, and cheaper, if you were after an M73.

I wouldn’t go near it. If it’s deceased estate then at least one set of keys should be around somewhere.

Yeah I’m not buying it. Seems like an easy way to shrug off sensitive questions. He knows what state it was imported into and has had it for 5 years, you would think he’d have found its keys by now.

I always thought of ‘no keys’ as repossessed or stolen/stolen recovered.

No VIN sounds really suspicious but if it’s a JDM* vehicle the VIN will be really low on the passenger side under the windscreen wiper. Though also on a sticker under the cover for the ECU.

* For those not familiar. Not all JDMs are RHD, it’s common for those in Japan to buy LHD cars if the vehicle is a LHD vehicle, supposed to be more pure. Rather than a car originally LHD but made RHD.

I don’t see that specimen as having much value, especially if there’s no way to show that it isn’t stolen. At least it has its steering wheel on the correct side.

Plenty more fun things I could do to get myself arrested or piss away all my money than with this thing.

It’ll have a VIN. But it won’t have any Australian compliance plates that would display it prominently. So I suspect that’s what old mate means...

No keys is probably more of a killer. That said it’d make a mad drift car....
