He had bought it off another known member on the old Prelude forum. It was nicely looked after 8-) 8-)

My baby :o :(

How long have you owned it dude? Nice to see the prices of the Type-S going in the right direction, such an under rated car. I miss that car like mad, should never have sold it but needed the money to fund mine and the gf's new place. Sadly we can't have it all.

If there's any questions about it you want answering drop me a message. Great to see it looking so well.

Where did you find it for sale or did you know the guy I sold it too? I forget his name.

Hi Gareth, you did a great job with the car. Hats off to ya. I bought it off a friend who bought it off you funnily enough. You can relax, the car is as you sold it and I have to admit you were very meticulous after opening up your service history file. It's in the Midlands, if you're local and wanna see it just pm me mate.

In all honesty thats a very rare machine, and 80kms is very low miles. Did u get it off Abrahim....he didn't appreciate it fully and I don't think he actually knew what he had... It's one of the last Hondas that actually had a hand port and polish job.. That's bragging rights for you ;-) I can't actually remebr the last time one of these came up for sale outside of the club.

If they come up for sale commercially they tend to have shady pasts. A clean one will always be worth money.

Yes redlude I got it off him. I don't think even he knew why he bought it lol
It's a cool car I use it 3 -4 times a week and enjoy driving it as its a manual. The Nissan GT-R can't be driven and revved hard as it builds up speed too quick and there's hardly any roads where u can fully appreciate it. The Honda can be red lined anywhere which is why it's such a buzz driving it!

Oh and gtr tyres cost a fortune and so do the brakes, the servicing, the upgrades etc etc
