As ridiculous as it sounds, high-end car auctions can get a bit samey. Year after year, it"s a similar bunch of crazy rare Ferraris, Porsches and old Bugattis that come out of the woodwork and swap owners for a few bazillion quid.Over the years we"ve seen enough 250 GTOs and 2.7 RS Porsches go under the hammer and for crazy money that we"re a bit bored of them. But that"s why Japan was invented, because when they do car auctions you get a proper spread of weird, wacky and deeply cool stuff. So we dispatched our man Mark Riccioni to sniff around the recent BH Auction in Tokyo. The results were incredible. From adorable sixties spiders to oddball race cars and what-were-they-smoking tuner specials, it"s a welcome palate cleanser to the norm. So click through and tell us your favourites below. Enjoy.Pictures: Mark RIccioni
