Selling my trusty reliable Prelude after owning it for 5 years as I have bought a new car, will be sad to see it go.

Red top engine Preludes were produced in the later years of production, they are much faster than the black top engines, plus the manual gearbox is better than the automatic again faster as a short ratio sports gearbox.

Bodywork is generally tidy with clean arches and sills etc has a few scratches and stone chips, plus had a blend in spray job, can do with a compound polish to look even better.

Mechanically this car is perfect I cannot fault anything on it, all it needs is an electronic door fob but it doesn’t bother me, I use the key.

I have changed the price to £1150 i need the money urgent that is the only reason i'm selling the car, i need to sell my M3 Evo too :-( The passenger door had a small dent near the wing mirror because a cyclist went into it! Anyway i got it sorted and had the car blended in at the same time, the guy said bring the car back for a compound polish on a small part of the door to brighten it up. To be honest it looks good anyway but i think a polish on that area will help it look better. Just being honest about everything, the car is in very good condition overall. I tried to upload pics but it don't seem to work. The car is advertised on pistonheads and on autotrader too. The link is below if you want to see pics, its black:

Thanks Rob it is a nice car, i used to have a 1997 auto vti and i thought that was fast, but the manual gearbox and red top engines are way more faster! The car is amazing compared to the older models, i will be sad to see it go but maybe get another one some day.
