you know the engines lasted roughly 30k miles right? being it was their flagship for release, it also wasn't extremely popular which is why it didn't sell and had very limited numbers. they also came in like 1 color... white only, too bad if you like not being bland.
of course enthusiasts will think otherwise, but it really wasn't a grand release way back then. now people collect unique things just because they are unique, not because they were useful but those people are also extremely rare and wouldn't also spend $45k today for some gimmick car that hasn't proven itself and never even did.
i think the 110s is a cool as hell car, but not because of the junk motor they put in it... yeah i know engines didn't last 200, 300 or even 500k miles back then but they were still failing far too early even back in those days. we also like things we don't have access to, here in the states there's probably less than 10 that have ever been imported so it immediately gets ultra rare status, though there was a picture of a lot in japan floating around that had about 30 of them rotting away.
