Tommy Kaira in our auction history. We monitor about 180,000 cars a week across Japanese auction networks. Tommy Kaira is a rarity here: one car so far, the ZZ. We looked at that car before the bid: the auction sheet with its condition grade, the body damage codes, detail photos and repair history.
Where it came from. Our only Tommy Kaira came from Tokyo. The networks close on different days, USS Tokyo on Thursdays, HAA Kobe on Tuesdays, TAA Yokohama on Fridays, and that sets the bidding calendar.
Year and price. Our auction history holds one Tommy Kaira: model year 1997, start price 2.9M JPY. Those are opening prices, not sale prices.
Why Japan, not Germany. A Tommy Kaira reaches Japan as a new car, and a shaken inspection every two years records the odometer at each visit, so winding it back leaves a trace. Our database holds 1 such car.
