If this has done just 42,000 km, was it owned by a gorilla?

Look at the steering wheel

Lo

Whole dash looks very tired

Engine bay looks a bit rough too.
What's the metal plate in the passenger footwell ?
Looks very neglected

Worth saving though

Cheers

Or just a very nervous driver

who couldn't stop gripping the wheel tight.

I really don't understand the car though... Says it's a Type-S (and it is an a8 by the looks) but I thought the Type-S only came with the digital climate controls? (Or did I imagine that)
Also, it's an OEM head unit, but I think one out of a later Honda rather than a prelude???

All jdm came with climate. Not got that it's 100% not jdm.

That's a types. 42k looks about right, engine bay is just dirty and steering wheel has been exposed to the sun to much.

Always best to buy that’s done 142K from someone you know or a with service history rather then buy a 42K from a gorilla

Maybe that is second turn for this clock

I thought you could tell if these had been clocked because the odo digits dont line up perfectly, or is that just a 'lude trait?
