With 90s cars, especially performance models and hot hatches, soaring in value, this Integra Type R is not just a thrilling car to drive but also an excellent investment opportunity.
Condition Overview
Mechanics: Drives beautifully, with smooth gear shifts and the sharp handling the Integra Type R is famous for. The timing belt was replaced recently as part of regular maintenance, ensuring the Integra is ready for it's new owner. You do, however, hear a knock when coming off the accelerator pedal abruptly - this is believed to be caused, simply by a bush. Will endeavor to rectify this issue prior to new owner collection.
Exterior: Minor surface rust spots on the body, typical for its age. Underside is solid and has been professionally treated for protection. Toyo Proxes on all 4 wheels. The arial motor is somewhat noisy when extending.
Interior: Original, minus the radio, and in amazing condition for its age. Features the iconic Recaro seats and titanium gear stick knob. The interior is really in exceptional condition - there is no damage to the seats apart from some bolster collapse on the driver’s side (pictured). The small storage compartment drivers side has a broken clip.
MOT: Freshly passed with advisories for front tyres and surface corrosion on suspension components. The suspension corrosion is purely cosmetic and does not affect performance or safety - but will of course need addressing at some point.
