1993 Honda Prelude 2.0i

Highlights

• MOT until 3rd April 2026
• Exceedingly rare
• Highly original throughout
• Only two previous UK keepers
• Impeccably presented

The Appeal

At a time when the sporty coupé market seemed oversaturated, the 4th generation of the Prelude still managed to eke out its own. Nimble, fast, it's little wonder these ever-exciting cars continue to garner a new audience thirty years later. They're ripe for modification, too, and we'd wager a bet that this car has a bright future.
First arriving on British soil in 2002, this car has had only two previous keepers and comes complete with an MOT until April 2026. It's highly original throughout and boasts its original fabric interior, which looks in fine order. We've no doubt it'll be a very rewarding modern classic.
There are fewer than 350 examples on Britain's roads today, so don't miss this excellent opportunity.
