  • Presented in the incredibly rare colour of ‘Deep Bronze Pearl’
  • 47,873 miles from new with 1 former keeper
  • Full Honda main dealer service history with stamps every year until its last service in August 2021

Described as ‘the most involving and rewarding performance hatchback on the market thanks to it’s light weight, razor-sharp steering and a perfectly balanced chassis’, the Honda Civic is fast becoming a collector vehicle. The FN2 Civic Type R arrived in the UK in 2007. Hot on the heels of the impressive ‘breadvan’ EP3 Civic Type R, the FN2 packed similar mechanicals but in a much more striking body shell – and one very different from the more conservative, saloon-shaped Civic sold in Japan (the FD2). Gone was the previous car’s floating dashboard with high-mounted gearshift; now a wide, expansive dash took its place, with a raised centre console, clusters of switches grouped close to the steering wheel, and a split-level instrument cluster placing the speedometer just below the bottom of the windscreen.

The powertrain was very similar to that of the EP3 though, with the same 1998cc 2-litre K20 four-cylinder VTEC engine under the stubby bonnet. It produced just 1bhp more, now 198bhp, but Honda had retuned it slightly for driveability, dropping the VTEC cam change point from 6000rpm to 5400rpm. The result was a less frantic experience, but exhaust tuning also gave the FN2 a deeper, richer sound. It also felt more refined thanks to the new car’s improvements in this area. The last Naturally Aspirated Type R produced, the FN2 is surely one for the history books.

Manufactured in 2008 and presented in the incredibly rare ‘Deep Bronze Pearl’ with contrasting Type R interior, ‘YE58 ZKD’ is offered for sale having covered just 47,873 miles from new in the hands of 1 former keeper. Specified with the desirable GT pack consisting of cruise control, dual zone climate control, electric folding mirrors, cooled airbox, fog lights and automatic wipers, this particular example boasts its original bookpack containing handbooks and service book. In which, you can see 12 Honda main dealer stamps every year until its last service with Marshall Motor Group in August 2021. During this service, ‘YE58 ZKD’ benefited from replacement condenser, clutch, exhaust silencer and more at a cost of £2,314.64. In addition, this car comes with an impressive collection of paperwork including a large collection of invoices and receipts dating from 2014 through to 2021. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and interior trim all as ‘Very Good’.
