Can anyone help identify this car

Post by buymycarlondon » Tue Jan 06, 2015 8:32 pm

Hi,
Just a quick post to see if anyone can identify this car. It's obviously a prelude but a few features do puzzle me.
I picked it up a few weeks ago on trade.
The logbook states it's a 2.5 litre, it is an import with red interior, built in sat navigation and TV (touchscreen), 4ws, auto, some small green lights on the spoiler, remote with picture of car but also has a type r badge (which I wasn't aware any preludes were type r's)
Because of the engine size (didnt know honda produced 2.5 litres) andd it being imported makes it very difficult to value..
It may be just an error on the logbook but thought I would ask someone that knows more than me about preludes.

I must say though it is great fun to drive.. and I've driven a lot of cars. Has to be up there with the ones I have enjoyed the most.

Can anyone help clarify the specifications of this car? Its on a p reg. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards
James

(Sorry for any typos, am posting this on a phone)

Yeah, the 2.5 on the logbook will be a mistake, it'll be a 2.2 SiR

Pics of the car would be good to see :D

Did you mean you'll be putting the whole car on ebay, or just the spoiler, btw?
