Shocking photo quality!! They look like they were taken in the 1970s.

Nice looking car though.

Really nice car Clive. Most of the factory options on the car I see.

Just to add, while on the postman rounds, I see a nice White Type-S. I will get him to join here but he is never home so have to leave one of those 'sorry you were out cards'

No I have called. He said he would call around on a day agreed but did not arrive. I have since left messages but he does not reply. The phone is always answerphone. I have left another message today as he has just returned from his holiday 28th. Have joined here due to your recommendation. Hope you are enjoying your new round with no hills

In reference to some of the posts. Firstly thanks for your nice comments guys. The car was purchased in 1999 brand new from the main dealer Derek Warwick Southampton. It is a Prelude Motegi named after a Japanese race track I was told. It has every extra that was a available at the time of purchase including wood trim and prelude kick plates on the driver and passenger door frames. Lockable alloy wheels.A top of the range alarm and immobilizer security system with on board cameras. The number plate was purchased in 1985 for 2k which for those old enough to remember was a lot in those days. I was originally purchasing CKM 757 For £500.00 but this came along and it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The plate is now worth a five figure sum so was a good investment.It started its life on a Toyota Supra red. The side skirts front and rear spoilers and the bonnet and boot spoilers were all factory fitted. The car is kept in good condition by cleaning first with Auto Glym resin polish, then a coat of gloss finish and finally a sealing polish. It is hand washed as car washes can have grit which would destroy the paintwork. The headlights do tend to mist up but by using my special blend of mild cement dust and water this removes the grime far better than anything else I have tried. If you try this please do try on a small area of the fitting first as I am not recommending you to do this, just advising what works for me. Tyres do not have tyre paint applied but are treated along with all other black rubber work with a non drying special rubber solution that was recommended by a professional car care supplier to car showrooms in my area. I had the original rear shelf speakers changed but still have the original manufactures factory fitted speakers as I am a horder lol if any one is interested. Goodyear F1's all round as this gives the car extra grip. There is one other car in sparkle yellow in Southampton and once we parked next to each other which really drew some attention. The only other version in this colour was seen in 2005 in a Chichester car park.
