JohnK Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 1992 (J) Honda Prelude 2.0iS AutoMOT: May 201992k miles I bought this a couple of months ago to use as a daily and I've covered around 3000 miles in it since.Runs and drives extremely well, I bought it off an old giffer who used it as a second car. 4 good tyres all roundInterior is immaculate, electric sunroof, electric windows, central locking, 3 keys I've just changed the O/S/F CV Joint last week. I would love to keep it as I had bought it to get me over the winter, however with 2 cars already joining the fleet imminently and a deal on a 3rd car today it is a case of something has to give and unfortunately this is the one. Bodywork is okay, there is the usual rust on the rear arches, however it is surface at this stage; nothing recorded in the MOT history. Registration is J857 CWF Delivery is possible, especially to somewhere in or on the way from Middlesbrough to London or Kent areas when I'm on my next collection. £400 - would raffle if enough interest.

Ghosty Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 These are GR9, I had an identical K plater briefly. £400 is a fucking steal, half what it's worth really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgetgricey Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 #28 , #44, and #47 if it does roffle. (assuming ticket prices about 3 for £20)I've always loved those, and that colour is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I hope this stays in the fold so I can get another crack at it when I'm allowed to drive again! It looks lush and would be an excellent tool for restoring my mojo. Meanwhile, GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 He did, an auto. EX phil_lip looked great but IIRC the auto box created column inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Yup. Had one. Liked it. Bit firm for the likes of me though. Rover is much more my cup of tea. The Prelude on a twisty road was sheer joy though! phil_lihp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 It was a marvellous car, probably the best-looking car I've ever owned and with the better tyres on it it did handle brilliantly (not so much on the perished Tigars it was wearing originally). Shame the autobox was poorly, I believe JohnDeere (sp?) still has it though. Side note: the back seats in these are not ideal if you have legs. barefoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohdearme Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Had a 2.2 import years ago and recaptured my youth with a UK Vtec example with the digi dash. Shame this is an auto as the manual box in these was one of the snickiest pieces of engineering I’ve ever experienced. 4WS was weird in car parks, as the point of rotation in the car was level with your knees, not the front axle but I don’t think the 2.0 had this? Speaking of knees, older giffers should note getting in and out of a Prelude is inelegant at best, the seat is so low that you’d swear you missed the car completely and sat on the floor.

J-T Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 It was a marvellous car, probably the best-looking car I've ever owned and with the better tyres on it it did handle brilliantly (not so much on the perished Tigars it was wearing originally). Shame the autobox was poorly, I believe JohnDeere (sp?) still has it though. Side note: the back seats in these are not ideal if you have legs. I came across my pics of this the other day, I'm pretty sure it was a similar reg. Edit: it was similar-ish. I ended up putting 2 new rear calipers on that for the MOT as the handbrake was shite. After I'd done it, that was the only rear disk braked car I've ever had where the handbrake would lock the rear wheels when applied on the move. Maybe that was more to do with the rock hard tyres tho! GLWTS, one of the best looking jap cars ever methinks phil_lihp and oldcars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabergé Greggs Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 That’s well nice- I’m tempted. Does anyone know what the gearing is like for the motorway? I know it’s a £400 car and all but any Cambelt worries? binhoker668 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 I will set the Roffle numbers up tomorrow for those who have expressed interest, it does of course remain on general sale as well but seeing as there is some appetite for the roffle we may as well give it a go. Jack - just responded to your PM. In terms of motorway driving it is fairly refined; not quite sure what revs it sits at when doing 70mph off the top of my head, but I will probably be using it for my 380 mile round trip to Coventry tomorrow so will check.
