The R4s are more rare.

There’s slso a 1980 LS80 GT on YJ right now.

I'm seeing this since I check the various platforms on a regular basis (or just see what Sigmania digs up on YJ) - some models often seem to surface in bunches for some (probably weird) reason, sometimes even on YJ. For example, when I started looking for a spaghetti TE70 Custom there were zero offers for quite a while, then 3 of them popped up within 2 weeks or so last year, then a 4th one locally. After that - nada, maybe there were one or two in Japan but nothing on Reverb etc. It's not a particularly rare model either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
