The auction sheet

How grading works →

The inspector’s own report on this car, as issued by the auction house. It is written in Japanese; ask us and we’ll translate it for you, line by line, before you bid.

RA

Repaired or modified

Panels have been repaired or replaced, or the car has been modified: a body kit, aero parts or a carbon wing can earn an R or RA on their own. Not necessarily an accident car; the inspector’s notes and the photos say which.
