I'm very interested to see how this auction goes, as i have a very similar car, but in nighthawk black. I still believe the ep3 Civic is vastly underrated and offers huge value for money in the current market. Good luck to both the seller and buyer. 👍

This would make a cracking track toy. Great to see it on Michelin PS4s all round too, clearly not run on a shoestring budget.

It's too nice for that you philistine!

Red, pre-facelift that's not rotten or modified to hell? It needs a loving home and plenty of spit and polish.

It has been annually serviced . Also in last 13 year of ownership run on premium unleaded only.
Tyres replaced last year as can be seen by paperwork.

I can think of a great home for it, where we'll all be regularly kept updated on the spit and polish applied...

It’s not been modified all original as can be seen from photos.
Someone will have a good car to enjoy. Photos taken by Piston heads photographer. So nothing to hide.

Sorry mate, that was my point - looks a great example (which is why I bid) and far too nice for some ape like Ben to turn it into a track car

Good luck with the sale!

I suspect with an example this clean that the bidding will go up quite a lot before the auction finishes, and although from looking at the mot history I don’t think this car will have any issues passing its next mot, I do wish it had a fresh 12month before the auction started just for peace of mind. If the bidding stays this low I’ll likely bid anyway as seems too good to miss but on but yeah I’ll be very surprised if it doesn’t go above 5-6k due to low mileage and condition. Looks like a great car
