Overview

Few cars carry the legendary status of the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. Built during the peak of Japan’s performance car era, the R34 became a global icon thanks to its advanced technology, dominant motorsport presence and its role in shaping enthusiast culture worldwide. The V-Spec variant represents one of the most desirable specifications of the R34 generation, engineered with upgraded chassis components and performance enhancements designed to maximise handling and stability.

This example is a Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec, finished in the incredibly desirable Midnight Purple. Among collectors and enthusiasts, Midnight Purple is considered one of the most iconic colours ever offered on the R34, changing tone depending on lighting conditions and highlighting the car’s distinctive body lines.

Showing just 21,300 km, this is an exceptionally low mileage example. The vehicle carries an auction grade of 4 with B interior, indicating a well preserved car with only minor cosmetic imperfections noted during inspection.

As R34 GT-R values continue to rise globally, particularly for special colours and well preserved examples, cars such as this rarely appear at auction without attracting intense bidding interest.
