Bad Points

Clutch slips at high temps such as summer traffic jams. (Easily can be lived with for me an has not got worse in 3 years)
Rear arch rust as most preludes of this age. (one arch was saved last summer by a spare door skin and a welder)
Currently has no TAX an requires a front OS head light to pass MOT.

This car was my daily driver for around 5 years until it finally met its match by a lovely lady very determined not to be late for a doctors appointment. The result was a no fault CAT C write off and at that point I decided to take the plunge and buy a 2008 350z on super low mileage and although I still love this amazing car, I think this change is going to stick.

Ideally I would like to sell this car with MOT and TAX but so far I've had trouble finding the parts to fix her up, the headlight mentioned above, OS wing and possibly the front bumper, I would really like to move this car by the end of this summer one way or another so if my parts hunt fails then I may have to sell as an MOT failure. Anybody have the parts I need?

Price wise I'm not really sure what its worth these days, a stock JDM BB4 used to get £1500 around the time I bought this but people seem to have forgotten about them even more. Any suggestions on price assuming valid MOT/TAX?

I'll update this post as soon as I have any extra info or acquire the parts I need.

===========================================================================================

Pre-accident/old photos, I will take new photos when I am next with the car.

Car looks great.
Really like the colour coded oem lips/skirts.
Very similar number plate to Ste's old BB4

Thanks, I'll be very sad to see her go. I also forgot to mention is has the M2B4 LSD gearbox, no sunroof, no 4 wheel steering and no air bags or ABS so is the lightest BB4 option wise that I think you could get.

That's a purdy looking lude with some nice mods

Good luck with the sale bud

seriously hot lookin lude, and very well equipped GLWS.

@Nick_Riptide with the required headlights for the MOT

Nice lude.. If this ain't gone by the end of summer I'll be very surprised and then I'll buy it
Please don't break!!

Looks very nice.
Very tempting. What happened in the accident?

@prahunt She over took me on the inner lane of a very small round-about believing that the left lane (my lane) was a filter for the first exit. The second exit (our exit) was a single lane. We both actually stopped as there was traffic but when the traffic cleared she mowed me down like her vehicle was stolen, pretty much deliberately.

@JEBB4 @Drax @NafemanNathan

Thanks for the compliments guys it's nice to know she's appreciated

As for breaking, I will avoid at all costs

Clean looking Prelude,what a shame the lady picked you that day
Paintwork looked mint bar the little touch up needed on that black spot on the front bumper.
I don't see too many going without the mudflaps either,it works on yours,i tried it on mine but nah,maybe it's all in the wheels and height pairing that pulls it off
