Hello 1st Gen from Glasgow
Posted: Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:04 am
Hello, I have owned this 1st Gen Prelude for 4 years, it is an 1982 Executive which featured Canyon Gold paint with Connolly leather interior and power steering over the standard model. It has a 3 speed Hondamatic gearbox and the EL14 1602cc engine. It has done 78,500 miles about 20,000 of which have been done in my ownership.
It had been sitting in a barn for 8 years then on a trailer for 2 years when I bought it, once the deal was agreed it was MOT'd and driven back to Glasgow from Bournemouth, never missed a beat! From then on it's been a great car to own, only major issue was finding a replacement carburettor, it now has a weber instead of the original keihin. It had a sport exhaust fitted last year and the stereo was updated.
Very recently decided it was time for a few updates, got King Springs sent over from Australia to lower the car by 35mm, added Rota Beat 15x8" wheels and had the car fully resprayed in the original Canyon Gold.
