⚠️ THIS VEHICLE HAS NOW SOLD ⚠️

Please check out our coming soon and in stock vehicles.

As our exceptional ex-BTCC Honda Integra DC5 has now been sold, it represented an opportunity to acquire a hugely significant piece of modern British Touring Car Championship history. As the sole remaining UK example of the DC5s campaigned by Team Dynamics Motorsport in their record-breaking 2005 season, it would have made a superb entry for the Dunlop Saloon Car Cup or Super Touring Car Register series.
