Ultra rare Toyota 2000GT headlines seven-figure Japanese classic car auction
Words: Andrew Sluys
Collectors and car enthusiasts worldwide have a cracking opportunity to bid on some of Japan’s most sought-after machinery when BH Auction rolls into Tokyo’s City Circuit on June 21st.
Run by Bingo Sports, BH Auction brings over 20 years of global sales experience to the table, with a reputation built on fairness, transparency, and what they call ‘authentic value.’
The headline act is a mysterious Toyota 2000GT, estimated at ¥140–160 million ($1,500,000 – $1,720,000 NZD), combining early- and late-model design elements in a way no other known example does.
JDM fans are equally well catered for. Two ultra-low-mileage Honda S2000s go under the hammer — a 2009 car with just 9,058km and a 2000 model year example with a staggering 1,092km on the clock.
Joining them are a single-owner 1965 Honda SM600, one of just 14 Nissan GT-R Club Track Editions ever built, and a Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign estimated up to ¥155 million ($1,600,000 NZD). Budget buyers aren’t forgotten either — a Nissan Bluebird SSS Turbo S could be yours from as little as ¥1.1 million ($11,875 NZD).
European metal is equally impressive, with a 331km Ferrari 599 GTO, a Ferrari 328 GTS, a Classiche-certified F355 Berlinetta, a mint Porsche 928 GTS, an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, and the sole Japanese example of the McLaren 750S MCL38 Celebration Edition — signed by both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
An Alpina B3 GT3, one of just 99 built, rounds out a remarkable lineup.
Charity lots from the legendary Miura collection — including Ferrari 288 GTO and F50 steering wheels — benefit The Yomiuri Light and Humanity Association.
Previews run from 11am on June 20th–21st, with bidding kicking off at 3pm JST on Sunday June 21st.
