Taken not too long after they discontinued the speed 3. There were a couple more out front that aren’t pictured.

The prices of original R32s backs up this claim. Bring a trailer has had a coupon go over $40s I think.

Oh wow. That's a lot of money, and even then they might have age-related things to take care of with parts availability getting worse and worse. Thinking of OE fuel lines, for example.

There are quite a few parts that just aren’t available for the r32 specifically like bumper covers and window trim. It makes cars in good condition go for stupid money, and junk cars still desirable. The Humble Mechanic on YouTube has a fair few videos on the R32.

Yeah, Charles is awesome. I haven't seen his latest video yet, but the fact that somebody had his R32 in a body shop for two years for a full rust repair probably tells us that the surviving good specimens are sought after.
