This Midnight Purple II Skyline is one of the rarest R34 GT-Rs ever made 💜
Ask anyone of a certain age who discovered cars during the late 1990s and early 2000s what their dream machine is and there’s a good chance a most of them will say “.” “Nice”, you say, “but which version?” After all, there are an endless amount of special edition GT-Rs making a bog standard R34 almost as rare as the litany of sub-variants the company churned out.
We’re all familiar with the Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Nur, seen as the ultimate variant to come from the factory, but there was also the more luxurious M-Spec model, which could also be had with the more potent Nur upgrades. On the opposite end of the spectrum is the N1, a lightweight model with uprated turbochargers and built in incredibly small numbers.
Resembling one of TVR’s reflex colours, Midnight Purple II is a shifting tint that mixes shades of dark purple and blue. Only three official shades of Midnight Purple were released across the R33 and R34 platforms. The original MNP was exclusive to the R33, while the R34 was available in MNPII and the very purple indeed MNPIII. With only 0.5 per cent of all R34 GT-Rs ever sold being finished in MNPII, it’s one of the most exclusive shades available on the fifth generation Skyline.
As is the case with anything interesting to come out of Japan, finding a clean example can be extremely difficult - but this example ticks a lot of boxes. Not only is a completely stock R34 , it’s only had one owner since new and has a full history – with the first service taking place at just 870km. It’s covered 137,429 of Japan’s finest KMs, which works out at to be just over 85,000 miles - so a good excuse to actually use the thing.
True, it’s not the rarest R34. That goes to the N1s, which were mostly bought up by tuners and sold in minuscule numbers. But when you consider that the vastly more common V-Spec II Nur are selling closer to the half a million mark, it makes the £155,000 asking price of this particular model seem like a relative steal. Yes, it’s a fair whack more than the original £54,000 list price for UK versions, but JDM machines are in high demand and none more so than the R34 Skyline.
