Description
Mileage & Condition
Having covered just 13,172 kilometres (8,184 miles) from new, this Civic Type R is arguably one of the lowest mileage examples we've had the pleasure of importing. At just 572kms per year, this is essentially a time capsule. For a performance vehicle of over 20 years, its preservation is nothing short of remarkable.
JDM-Exclusive Performance Features
This is a genuine unicorn car and features numerous JDM-exclusive performance enhancements that set it apart from its European counterparts. Most notably, it comes equipped with a factory-fitted helical Limited Slip Differential (LSD) - the same diff found in the EK9. The chassis benefits from stiffer anti-roll bars for enhanced rigidity too.
Under the hood lies the coveted K20A engine, featuring a different intake system, exhaust manifold, lightweight flywheel, high-lift cams, and a re-tuned ECU. This results in an impressive 20bhp power increase over the European version.
The interior has red Recaro seats as standard, complemented by matching JDM red floor mats - details that enthusiasts will immediately recognise and appreciate. Perhaps most fascinating is that despite their considerable differences, both European and JDM variants were assembled in the same Swindon factory in the UK - a remarkable testament to Honda's dedication to market-specific engineering.
Investment Opportunity
With classic Japanese performance vehicles gaining increasing recognition among collectors, this remarkably low-mileage example represents not just one of the best Type R's ever made, but potentially a significant appreciating asset. As a genuine unicorn in the EP3 world, this pre-facelift, Championship White example is perfect for any serious collector looking to acquire perhaps the finest example currently available.
