Hello and welcome to the sale of this stunning Honda Civic Type-R EP3. This is a very special example of this appreciating modern classic! This car has had just 2 owners from new, has covered 49k genuine miles and has been very well looked after with full service history. The striking red exterior is in excellent, rust free condition, as is the underside. Arguably the best colour for one of these cars, Misano red looks fantastic but is prone to fading. This car was not as bad as some I have seen, but the car warranted being 100%, so I have just had the car professionally re-sprayed at significant cost. There was no rust or damage, simply colour restoration and I have full before and after photos of this. The alcantara sports interior is also in excellent order with minimal wear, and I have gone to the additional lengths of fitting a brand new genuine gear knob and genuine Type-R carpet mats. The 2.0 Vtec petrol engine pulls very strongly and smoothly through the 6 speed gearbox. I have just had all 4 wheels professionally refurbished to the original finish, and it sits on 4 recent tyres. The car starts, runs and drives very well with no apparent faults. It feels taught and direct on the road. To sum up this is a very genuine, well looked after example of this iconic hot hatch, they do not come up very often in this kind of condition or with this kind of provenance and I am sure the new owner will be very pleased.
