Nice & very low miles.

For the best price, it'll either have to go through a Honda Type R specialist, specialist auction (e.g. at a Type-R annual meet), or via the Type R club / forums (civictype-r.co.uk or type-r-owners.co.uk)

I almost bought a white Integra Type R when I was younger (bought the Corrado VR6 instead as I wanted something more comfortable for longer drives).

I'm not a Honda aficionado, but are you sure that's a Mk1 - as that looks like a Mk2 (Mk1 of the EP3 or Swindon cars?).

I'm not sure enthusiasts (and potential buyers) will be impressed with the lack of knowledge of a supposed fellow enthusiast.

This is what I'd call a Mk1 Type R (EK9)...

Im sure even that one isnt a MK1 Civic, my mate had a civic when we were in uni and it was an older shape than that

Edit: According to Wikipedia the one pictured above is the 6th generation civic so the one for sale must be 7th gen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic

No, the EK9 was indeed the FIRST (mk1) Civic Type R

The EP3 was the second (mk2)

And the FN2/FD2 was the third (mk3)

The fourth (mk4) is the FK2 and isn't out yet
