2021 HONDA CIVIC TYPE R LIMITED EDITION

KEY FACTS

• Vehicle number five of 20 Limited Edition Civic Type Rs in the country; an exceptionally rare hot hatch with one owner from new.
• It is powered by the turbocharged 316bhp 2.0-litre ‘K20C1’ engine, coupled to the six-speed rev-matching manual gearbox.
• Described as a “track-ready tribute to Honda heritage”, being just one of only 20 cars made for the UK market.
• It has the benefit of a first service at Gatwick Honda. This was not a scheduled service, but the owner wanted to perform a ‘running in’ service nonetheless.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The Limited Edition is 47kg lighter than the Type R GT, due to the removal of various sound deadening measures, air conditioning, and the infotainment system.
• Along with everything that goes into the regular Type R, the Limited Edition features BBS forged-aluminium wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, specially tuned adaptive dampers, and recalibrated steering.
• It is finished in the model-specific Sunlight Yellow paintwork with a two-tone black and red interior. The heavily bolstered front seats are renowned for their comfort.
• The original owner’s manuals and service book will be included.

CONDITION

• There is no bodywork damage whatsoever.
• Its Sunlight Yellow paintwork is in excellent condition, with the vendor noting a minor stone chip to the front bumper, and another on the windscreen.
• Inside, its two-tone upholstery is in superb order in line with the low mileage, showing only minimal creases to the driver’s bolsters.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The first MOT test will not fall due until March 2024.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its first service was carried out in April 2021 at 1,932 miles, where technicians at Gatwick Honda changed the engine oil and filter.
