1992 (J) Honda Prelude 2.0iS Auto

MOT: May 2019

92k 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 round

Interior 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.

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.

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.

 

Random ticket please!

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!

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.
