A friend of mine linked me to this;
While it may look good at first glimpse, note the chassis plate of ‘JZA’ so the car is not even a MA70 (let alone the turboA).
Then compare to the actual piece and you’ll notice more differences;
Beware and dont say I didnt warn you!
Thanks to Darren for pointing out this Japanese Yahoo auction.

has surprised on access than expected, we have a supplementary explanation so many questions. This vehicle is a vehicle of 24 years ago, I think dividing this vehicle lovers and’ve owned vehicle for enthusiasts still really only from its state of preservation. In addition, currently, less pain, such as a leather interior, there is no institution in particular trouble, and electrical system. I’m also well developed, so the timing belt has been replaced. The current owners before you buy, I wanted to take over as it is because it was a two-digit number 33 at the time, had to replace the license plate because it was purchased from outside the prefecture. I was told that the exterior is painted a clear history of accidents, not once had assessed once to buy car shop before it exhibits. This exhibition is advised but had acclaimed ones Bali in spite of the model year interior, better to try out the online auction and It is a good vehicle for enthusiasts such in store purchase is less likely with the absolutely made. I think you’ll come to those who know the purchase value of the vehicle. Thanks in advance.”

This is the first turboA I’ve seen up for auction in Japan for a long time. It looks pretty well worn and with only 17,000kms on it you’d have to assume it died and has sat unused for a while. There does appear to be a heap of rust in the windscreen wipers and engine bay – which all appears genuine turboA (not Group A as the auction suggests).
The Australian price, based on the conversion rate right now works out to $5,790.25 Aus. Include shipping, taxes and all the other crap that goes with getting a ship transported over and you might get this for $8,000-$9,000 which is way cheaper than any turboA on Australian soil (well, of those that run).
