Sadly, whenever a famous person perishes, we tend to see a spike in memorabilia items -be that in terms of quantity or prices. To be fair, however, the current seller of the original Nissan Skyline GT-R driven by the late Paul Walker in the 2009 ‘Fast and Furious 4’ movie, has pledged to donate half the proceeds of the sale to the actor’s charity Reach Out World Wide (ROWW).
And since it may have crossed your mind, ROWW did confirm this on its website, where it stated: “This type of outreach and support from companies like this and fans globally is sincerely appreciated”.
The seller is Munich, Germany-based GT-A International, which has appraised the R34 Skyline GT-R for €1 million, or about US$1.35 million at the current exchange rates.
While it may be a sea away, the good news for American buyers is that the car purportedly retains a “U.S. Florida Title”, but to be frank, if I was interested, I would want to make sure that there aren’t any legal issues with importing the right-hand drive GT-R to the States.
