In the next Classic Car Auctions sale on December 10 th there are a selection of these JDM cars available for those interested in collection or perhaps want an early Christmas present for themselves or a loved one.Ģ001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition UK-Spec Fabulous, sixth-generation, Tommi Makinen Edition launched to celebrate their favourite son’s four World Rally Championships. GUIDE PRICE- £30,000 – £40,000 Graphs based on Glenmarch’s Auction sale data shows the upward trend in prices of two key JDM marques. Based on our own experience, plus recent sales by our sister company Silverstone Auctions, the trend in value for these Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles is continuing upwards and we don’t believe they have plateaued yet! So, whilst we can’t offer investment advice, now does seem to be the time to buy before prices peak.” Gary adds: “The growing demand for collectable Japanese vehicles is pushing up prices. The upward trend in popularity and desirability of these JDM cars continues to grow with the cars becoming rarer, which has led to increasing sales results. So the good surviving/restored examples nowadays rightfully command a premium. The Japanese collectable story is very similar to what happened with ‘Fast Fords’ – when car values dropped many cars were ragged about, crashed, scrapped, rusted away, or broken for parts. Gary Dunne of CCA, says: “We’re often asked: ‘How is the car market doing at the moment?’ A simple answer is that changing trends and economic fluctuations mean some things naturally plateau or come down in value, whereas others will rise. No one could have predicted the rise in the Japanese Domestic Market but for a generation who grew up watching Fast and Furious, playing Gran Turismo and Need for Speed these JDM halo cars have fond memories and becoming increasingly desirable.” Subaru and Mitsubishi are just two Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) marques creating growing interest and changing buying decisions at classic car auctions. Seeing the words Japanese and Classic Car in one sentence is no longer either surprising or ridiculous. ![]() SUBARUS IMPREZA & MITSUBISHI LANCER EVO LEAD THE CHARGE FOR ASIAN CARS JAPANESE CARS ARE NOW HIGHLY COLLECTABLE SAY CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS CCA UK Specialist Vehicle Association partners Classic Car Auctions have some exciting news for classic car collectors and aficionado’s of Rally sports in particular!
