Independent Vehicle History Report available on request
This car was Initially owned by Honda Japan before import into the the UK, I am only the third keeper since it arrived in the UK. Documentation includes the original import certificate, Japanese owners manual, a UK translation of that manual, both parts of the IVA report where the car passed Euro-4. (The Element "master vehicle" sacrificed for IVA was the one featured on Top Gear S6 Ep1, driven by James May, viewable on iPlayer).
The car drives perfectly, and is in outstanding condition.
A good video summary of the Element is on YouTube by owner, tv presenter and journalist Jonny Smith, in his Late Brake Show channel.
Is there any issues? One minor one - the driver's seat has a very slight rock to it, due to a worn bushing on the seat fasteners. I have the spares but haven't got round to fixing it. There is also a spare rear o/ s brake calliper - I bought two when the n/ s one was replaced a while back.
Why am I selling? I just don't drive it, due to lots going on in my life with work, family and other pastimes. It's the most leisurely of leisure cars. It's was SORN'd for a spell, waiting on a replacement exhaust system delayed by COVID supply chain disruption. It's in stunning condition ready for someone to do it justice. What will I miss the most? The drop down tailgate. Every car should have one.
Please, please no speculators. If you're genuinely serious in owning an Element, an SUV like no other, then happy to answer questions. In the USA they hold value exceptionally well. Big modding scene too. Honda should make another one. Independent Vehicle History Report available on request.
