Description

This is a 2007 Civic Type R from the era when Honda still built high-revving, naturally aspirated engines that actually reward you for driving properly. Under the bonnet sits the 2.0-litre i-VTEC K20 - around 200bhp, 8,000rpm capability, and that unmistakable VTEC kick when it comes alive. No turbo, no nonsense - just one of the last of the proper NA VTEC engines. The important bit first - how it drives: Mechanically, this car is strong. It pulls cleanly, revs freely, and still delivers that classic Type R character. Acceleration is sharp, and it remains properly engaging. Amongst the work done: Clutch , brake discs , All shocks and Front suspension mounts , AC compressor, RR back box , yearly services. A bit of backstory (and honesty): I bought this car as a bit of a "rescue dog". It needed bringing back to where it should have been - sorting the things that previous ownership hadn't quite kept on top of. Since then, the focus has been on getting it back to solid, reliable condition and addressing the important mechanical areas. There will always be more that could be done - it's nearly 20 years old - but it's now a dependable, well-running car that I use daily without hesitation. Condition - the real picture: It wears its age as you'd expect: Front bumper has stone chips General age-related marks The sort of minor things MOT testers sometimes pick up on when they're feeling thorough Rather than chasing cosmetic perfection, the priority has been simple: make it mechanically right. What you're getting: A mechanically sound, well-sorted Type R A car that's been brought back from neglect and driven properly. Honest condition for its age - no surprises. A usable modern classic that still delivers the full VTEC experience. In short: Not a garage queen. Not a show car. But a solid, honest example of a Civic Type R that has been cared for where it matters, drives exactly as it should, and still puts a smile on your face every time you take it out.
