Does anyone know how to understand the info on a Japanese car auction report?
 
I have a 1 page document which I was told was the auction report. I was just wondering about the number etc on it. There's also a drawing of the car with some things written on it - A2, B3, XX, 5 and 6 (wheels) Do you know what these refer to? or where I can find out? Mainly just curiosity!!
 
A2, B3, etc: scratches and dents on the body (1: very small - 2: medium, etc..)

XX: replaced (probably after crash).

5-6 on wheels: thread depth in mm

Extras.....
 
that's great -thanks a mill - I'll try and figure it all out............ looks like the car may have been crashed as there's an xx on the bonnet
 
If the car has been crashed it will br graded as a "0"

XX could also mean an aftermarket bonnet has been fitted - for example a Carbon Fibre bonnet??
 
No sign of a 0 -

Where is the grading? what I think might be grading has A3 and BA

There is a circle on the drawing with T inside - any idea what this is?

Thanks for all
