Mk3 1989 Honda Prelude 4ws (auto)

Well
The time has come to sell

Original plans was to keep, hence I spent quite a bit of money on my Prelude - including a full respray.

I am moving next month -
So there will be no more garage, no driver nor classic car insurance

Have thoroughly enjoyed driving the Prelude throughout my ownership. Only one persistant problem and that was rev counter kept going up and down in gears NEUTRAL and PARK. After paying 2 separate garages to fix, it kept coming back - hopefully its finally fixed now.

Other problems only came about after the full body respray. The bodyshop had removed rear light gaskets, so theg started to leak. I have now put in new gaskets. Old aerial was working fine, but aerial was snapped and I suspect the cause of water leak into the boot wing - so have removed the aerial permanently.

U can find full details of the car under my ownership in the link below:

The details:
- Mk3 1989 Honda Prelude 4ws (automatic transmission)
- 97,000 miles (will go up slightly as I continue to enjoy driving it on dry days)
- MOT until 4th September, 2015
- 3 previous owners
- part history
- Full respray in Nov 2014
- Spare wheel + Jack
- Leather seats
- I had the car serviced thoroughly in Nov and Dec 2014, this includes:
. Timing Belt
. Auxiluary Belt
. Reset valve clearance
. Power Steering Fluid
. Automatic Transmission Fluid
. Spark Plugs
. New Remote Locking also added
. And more ...

Bad bits:
1. Slight oil leak under engine bay
2. Paint patch in rear carpet (see pic)
3. No Electric Aerial
4. Air con is not cold
5. 2 small rust holes in rear boot wing (have de-rust as much as I can and bone dry)
6. Rust on rear arches (again I have de-rust as much as I can)
7. Driver seat bolster wear and tear

Forum price: £1500 (no offers)

I should be able to supply a replacement carpet for this, if anyone wants it (they'll have to be quick though)

He's right..... don't sell it...! You will regret it later on.....! "Luke" would have been in my driveway already if I didn't have mine! Love the headlights and sidelights, what bulbs are they?.... they aren't xenons are they? They look like 5000k xenons?
