1994 Honda Prelude 2.0I For Sale

The Appeal

While the 3rd iteration of the Prelude had lost a bit of its aggressive, angular bite, it was still every bit the free-revving, refined eye for the sports car that the motoring public had come to expect. It was hitting a difficult market - this was a bit of a golden age for the sporty coupe - but it held its own ably. Thirty years later, it's not quite got the reputation it deserves - but folks are rediscovering it in droves.

This particular example has been with the same family from new, and has been little used in recent years. Now, it's seeking a new owner - and is accompanied by an MOT until March 2025. We think this is a superb prospect for a bit of cosmetic restoration work.
