Description

Selling my 2008 FN2 Type R. Nighthawk Black, 139k miles. Brand new MOT valid until April 1st 2026. This car has been my daily for the last three years and I have kept it on good oil and good tyres. It's completely stock. It has a large amount of service history showing work carried out for me and previous owners, including lots of specialist maintenance. In the last 10k miles, it's had new HDK driveshafts and the crank pulley replaced, as both were starting to wear out - these are both jobs that usually need doing with FN2s at this sort of age, but will now be good for a long time. The common fault with the digital display flickering has been sorted too. The seals at the top of the tailgate have just been refreshed to prevent water ingress - the common water trap in the boot floor is all clean and dry with no corrosion (see photo), and will stay that way now the seals have been done. The rear beam, another potential trouble spot for FN2s, also has plenty of life left in it according to the Honda specialist who inspected it. The body is in good shape, with a couple of small marks in the paintwork here and there - but crucially no rust anywhere, and no accident damage. Regularly washed through the winter as a precaution, to get rid of road salt etc. The engine is fantastic - if you're looking at this you know how good the K20 is, and this one runs smooth as silk, pulls strongly and engages VTEC perfectly. Clutch and gearbox are in good order too and the gearshift feels great, as any Type R should. The interior is in very good shape and is regularly cleaned and vacuumed. It's also just had a new A/C condenser fitted and blows nice and cold. It's not concours and it's not low mileage, but it's a great car - very solid, well looked after, and ready to enjoy straight away. I've loved this car - I'm only selling as I fancied a change, and wanted to scratch my itch for an Accord wagon...
