Description
A legendary front-wheel-drive coupe celebrated for its handling and V-tec engineering. Weighing just 1125kg with an 8000rpm redline, this Type R holds a special place in a private JDM collection.
Dry-stored for the past two years, it has undergone an extensive engine bay overhaul drives exceptionally well, and has genuine low mileage.
Being the UK model, it has the additional luxury of a rear windscreen wiper and air conditioning. Plus an airbag-equipped Momo® steering wheel and has the quad round headlights rather than the JDM single rectangular ones.
Lots of documentation, including the original handbooks, old MOTs and two sets of keys. HPI clear.
Note: there is some corrosion on the rear arches and sills but could be rectified easily and at low cost.
A great investment opportunity with strong potential to appreciate further in the coming years.
