2005 Milano Red Honda Civic EP3 Type R, registration SO05 TKV, is a well-maintained example of Honda's iconic hot hatch, now showing just over 122,000 miles and recently benefiting from a full service. The car starts and drives perfectly, with the VTEC system engaging as it should and the gearbox remaining smooth and free from any knocks or crunches. It comes with MOT until January 2026, is HPI clear, and includes both original keys with fobs. The car has part service history and features several recent upgrades, including a brand new clutch, driveshaft, brake pads, grooved and drilled discs, and new middle and back exhaust boxes. The original catalytic converter is still fitted, and the front wears Nankang semi-slick tyres. Additional enhancements include a Typhoon induction kit and Tein inserts on the subframe, while the underside has been treated for longevity. Inside, the cabin remains very clean, offering the practicality and comfort that made the EP3 popular as both a daily driver and a track-day favourite. Externally, there are some stone chips on the bonnet, lacquer peel on the roof spoiler and rear bumper, and a few bubbles on the rear arches, all typical for a car of this age. The EP3 Type R is renowned for its high-revving 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine producing 197bhp, close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox, and motorsport pedigree, including success in the British Touring Car Championship. With its robust mechanicals and engaging drive, this Civic Type R is fast becoming a modern classic and offers an excellent balance of performance, reliability, and practicality.
