1997 JDM Honda Prelude 2.2 Type-S in Black – Only 2 former keepers!

Here for sale is my Honda Prelude Type S. It was imported in 2002, and I took possession of it in 2006 with only 2 owners in between.

113,000 Miles (The odometer is showing 134,442, but the first 54,295 was in km as can be verified by the first Honda service stamp when the vehicle came into the country)
Full Honda Service History since coming into the UK
The car is completely standard – a rarity for this model
Cat 1 Alarm/Immobiliser

It has the usual Type S spec which I am sure you are all aware of:
Half Leather Seats
A/C & Climate Control
ATTS
2.2 litre 220bhp Engine …etc …etc

The Service History Record:
29 / 05 / 2002 - 54295 Km (Honda)
23 / 08 / 2006 - 62297 Miles (Honda)
03 / 07 / 2007 - 71413 Miles (Honda)
23 / 04 / 2008 - 81718 Miles (Honda)
21 / 01 / 2009 - 91527 Miles (Honda)
18 / 09 / 2009 - 100653 Miles (Honda)
28 / 04 / 2010 - 108461 Miles (Honda)
01 / 04 / 2011 - 120809 Miles (Honda)

Now for the bad bits:
The car needs a new knock sensor - this causes the Engine Management Light to come on above 40mph – I have an invoice from an Auto Electrician who diagnosed the fault, I would have got this fixed myself, but it happened the same week I bought my new car (a 350z) so it seemed senseless spending any money on the Prelude.
Passenger Side Electric Window Motor is broken
A scuff on the front bumper (pictured)
A small ding on the drivers side rear quarter (pictured)
Needs a new spigot bush (the bush the flywheel sits on) – I have spoken to Honda about this and was advised not to bother changing it until a new clutch is needed – it in no way affects the driveability of the car but does let off a ‘squeal’ if you pull away too aggressively
Wheels could do with a refurb
The car is currently on a SORN as it has not been driven since July
It will also require a new MOT

Comes With Plenty Of History, Old MOT's, Receipts etc

PRICE REDUCED £1500

A black Type-S Cleaned up a bit it will be a stunner no doubt. GLWS

had a text from Gordon that got me quite excited. But i feel a bit disheartened, tempting i will say. But in my opinion the price is too high for the amount of mechanical and cosmetic work required. Is this your best price? Fellow luders what is your opinion?

Good luck with the sale!

Nice! Good luck with the sale.

surely spending a bit of money to help the sale isn't senseless
and @honda-hardy i agree for a car with no mot and the cosmetic and mechanical faults price is a bit too high

Osshh...

I appreciate the feedback guys. I am flexible on price as i realise that a bit of work needs doing, what would you say a fair price would be?

Also, i could get an MOT done as its never had any faults in the past so i am confident it will fly the MOT.

With an MOT personally id still only pay around £1700

when you say the spigot bush needs replacing, do you mean the thrust bearing that would come in the clutch kit? also can anyone post up a link to a clutch kit?

£1700 is a better price, but im trying to size up its worth.

looking at the bodywork, how much would it cost for the repairs ie dent/stone chips/bumper scuff?
