A Real Mera in Paradise (Page 624/713)

As an update, the yellow Mera in Finland had a final sale price around $16, 500. Considering the work that it needed after 8 years of storage I think that the broker did very well for himself. If I ever sell a Mera maybe I should advertise it overseas also.

nice sale......that's good money. not bad at all
you think there is an added "not from around here" premium for cars #1 Modified and #2 an import?
I see it like the real Skyline GTR's that are starting to come over because of a 25 year statute of limitations??

Thanks for posting this very interesting update Nelson. It got me thinking, and I'm sure that even if Rex could fetch that kind of money, it would be worth less to me than this:



But if I had Four Meras .....

Just remember that all of mine were/are restoration projects. They were not nearly as nice as your car when I got them. After a lot of cash and labor the final results generally make it worthwhile but I sometimes wonder why I started on this crazy venture. At least it keeps me occupied in my spare time.

You started on the crazy adventure because it kept you sane! I think it's why we all do it. If we drink, we end up with nothing to show for it. (LOL) You ended up with four cool MERAs!!!

There is an 88 T-Top Mera with a N* conversion on eBay (looks like auto transmission) that has been converted to a F308 recently. The price is $17000 with all of the F car stuff, a basic 308 type interior, and manual (not correct) mirrors.

BTW, the build sticker has been removed and no longer exists. The same is also true for the MERA rear deck letters as well as the front nose badge. This update is based on questions I asked through the eBay system.

BTW, the current owner is taking offers if anyone is interested.

The Mera from Finland (Uk-registred) was sold to Denmark. That means there are now 2 Mera´s in Scandinavia, mine (in Stockholm, Sweden),
and one in Denmark. I'm not alone anymore :-)
