EXTERIOR
‘You meet the nicest people on a Honda Express’. This was the marketing slogan for many small economy Honda scooters and mopeds of the era which became very popular in the years following the 1973 oil crisis where thrifty means of motoring was increasingly sought. This 1981 UK example is finished in Orange, one of three available ‘spring colours’ with the other two being Blue or Yellow. The finish to this example is outstanding with a bright vibrant finish to the frame and decals in excellent condition. The fuel tank is in very good order with only light markings and all trim sections, rubbers and stainless steel is well preserved. The plastic mudguards are slightly dull. Original Stanley light clusters remain fitted as does the supplying dealer number plate. The perfect two-tone seat has been professionally retrimmed. The lights, Nippon Seiki gauge, high beam indicator and push button horn all work perfectly. Guaranteed to raise a smile!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 2-stroke 49cc engine develops 2.6hp and still features the correct foot wind starting procedure and automatic clutch with single-speed transmission. All mechanicals are spotlessly clean as is the white engine casing. Factory exhaust stampings are clear to see. A few depressions of the starting peddle and a squeeze of the rear brake lever and this delightful Honda pops into life ready for simplistic and frugal motoring enjoyment!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The bright chrome wire wheel rims are in fantastic condition whilst all spokes are fully intact. Recently replaced matching Vee Rubber 2.25-14 24B tyres have masses of tread remaining. The cable operated drum brakes work affectively but require a firm squeeze.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on the 7th October 1981, this fantastic UK example was registered new by Honda Motorcycles Main Dealer, Tinklers of Norwich. The bike was purchased in 2020 by the previous owner, Mr Moore, whose hobby of working with classic motorcycles has taken over his garden with various outbuildings designed for everything from storage, refurbishment, maintenance and even a small parts department! Sympathetic restoration has involved meticulous refurbishment of original parts to achieve the fantastic presentation without loss of the standard look. The bike runs and performs as good as it looks and despite qualifying for tax and MOT exception, the next owner will enjoy the peace of mind gained from the MOT carried out in July 2022 where it passed with flying, mainly orange, colours. Great fun and a sense of humour required!

EXTERIOR
This remarkable Honda Shadow VT600C has covered just 2,027 miles from new and is in factory original condition. The preserved paint finish in super rare Kashmir Beige, (Code YR-169), is in fantastic condition. The fuel tank is pristine and all plastic body panels are in superb order aside from a tiny hairline crack to the under-seat faring. The terracotta Shadow tank and Custom side faring decals are perfect. The bike is unrestored and as such a few very minor chips and markings can be seen to the front mudguard and lower frame which are barely worthy of mention, in fact, it is rare to find one that has escaped the Bobber Chopper conversion! The extensive chrome has a beautiful mirror finish with no pitting and only light scratches to the offside mirror housing. The rider and pillion passenger seats are immaculate in line with the very low mileage and the original supplying dealer number plate is still fitted. Even the original tool pouch is present in the under-seat storage cubby. A beautiful classic cruiser in wonderful preserved condition.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Angled at 52°, the V-twin water cooled 4-stroke engine features a single overhead cam and twin VD type 32mm carburettors. Power output is quoted at 38hp and 48Nm of torque. A matching numbers machine which is totally standard, the beautifully clean engine still displays the engine number and frame stampings clearly visible and all factory labels and stickers are intact. The original exhaust pipes are still fitted and look superb still with the factory part number pressings. The four-speed one down three up transmission with neutral indicator light operates perfectly and the bike runs, rides and handles exactly as it should.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The factory fitted wire spoke wheels, 19in to front and 15in to rear, are shod in premium brand Bridgestone tyres of correct size 100/90-19 front and 170/80-15 rear. The tyres were replaced in 2018 and are virtually as new having covered less than 30 miles! The chrome rims gleam in excellent order and the wire spokes are fully intact with some age-related tarnishing. The standard 296mm front discs and 160mm rear drum brakes operate perfectly with safe and steady stopping.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new on the 5th August 1992 by Honda Motorcycles Main Dealer, John Pease Motorcycles of Braintree, the first owner is confirmed on the original V5 registration document as a Mr Day. Just two further owners have enjoyed the bike before the previous keeper, Mr Mabbott, purchased it to sit alongside his collection of Rock ‘n’ Roll era classics which include a 1950’s Studebaker pick up truck. The history file contains previous MOT certificates to verify the incredibly low 2,027 miles covered and there are two sets of keys which fit all locks. A 1992 Honda Shadow VT600C sales brochure completes the history file. The perfect blend of classic motorcycle design and Honda innovation and reliability, this preserved example must not be missed.

EXTERIOR
Finished in the official launch colour of Silverstone Metallic, (Code NH 630M), this drop dead gorgeous two seat sports car looks beautiful from every angle. The original paintwork gleams with a uniform finish, commensurate with its 8,318 mile and one owner from new credentials. All lightweight panels are beautifully straight and in preserved condition with close scrutiny revealing a few tiny stone chips. The expensive GT specification hard top with stand has been in storage since new and the immaculate black factory fitted hood is quick and effortless in operation. The Perspex rear screen to the folding hood is crystal clear. The HID headlights are clear with no discoloration, as are the original factory fitted rear lenses and correct orange side repeaters. All trim sections and S2000 badges are factory fresh. The underside is remarkable in that the coloured factory PDI dabs and even chalk marks to the rear subframe have not been worn away! This spectacular example represents an original, unmolested and truly cherished car that has firmly cemented Honda’s repute for innovation and precision engineering.

INTERIOR
A perfectly proportioned, functional and exquisitely finished interior is designed solely to optimise driver enjoyment. The pristine high-grade luxury Red leather, (Code Type Z), remain in immaculate condition with the figure-hugging seats firm and all bolsters fully intact and in shape. The matching door cards are perfect and the bright red carpeting is fresh, unfaded and unworn having been protected from new by genuine Honda fitted carpet mats. The dashboard and fascia are as new and the red start button portrays Honda’s racing heritage. The digital head up display with race style tachometer and speedometer operates perfectly with all pixels intact and functional. Originality seekers will be pleased to see factory stickers remaining in the door shuts and the original Honda 2SFO stereo remaining neatly behind the discreet flip up cover. A meticulously designed sports car interior.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Underneath the bonnet is a 2.0i VTEC race bred engine. This sophisticated VTEC system changes the timing and lift of the valves to combine good torque characteristics at low revs with high power at high revs. A power output of 240bhp at an almost unheard of 8300rpm and 208Nm of torque at 7500rpm allows a blistering 0-62 time of 6.2 seconds and top speed 150mph. Factory stickers to the bonnet underside and immaculate engine bay as well identification plates, bulkhead chassis stamp and coloured PDI dabs confirm the absolute originality of this amazing example which even still has the bright red cam cover with none of the common flaky paint issues! The short shift 6-speed gearbox is perfectly precise.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Perfect standard 16in sports alloys display the unrestored factory silver matt finish with no scuffs or kerb damage whatsoever and immaculate centre badges. Quality branded Bridgestone S-O2 tyres of size 205/55 R16 and 225/50 R16 front and rear respectively were replaced in 2019 and have covered less than 200 miles. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) features 300mm ventilated front discs and 282mm solid rear discs to offer sharp and assured stopping power to cope with the epic performance.

HISTORY FILE
This UK example was supplied and registered new on the 15th April 2003 by Tachbrook Honda in Solihull. A new vehicle sales invoice is made out to the first and only owner, Mr Williams, who paid £25,445 for this factory GT specification car. All documentation and point of sale literature including the handover checklist are included in the history file. Used only as a dry day weekend car and covering a total of 8,318 miles, the car was still annually serviced at Honda Main Dealers until 2019 upon which time the car was put into dry storage. The original Honda wallet holds the vehicle handbooks and a file of invoices and previous MOT certificates further verify the exceptionally low mileage.

After nearly 19 years of ownership and preservation, Mr Williams contacted KGF Classic Cars and a deal was struck to purchase this car directly from its original owner who has kindly produced a letter confirming his ownership of the car and that the difficult decision to sell is born from ordering a brand-new Ford Mustang MACH 1, to go alongside his existing Mustang! Remaining exactly at Honda intended and preserved with exceptionally low mileage, this example must not be missed.

EXTERIOR
This cherished and factory standard Type R is the highly sought-after GT model having covered just 38,352 miles and is Father and Son owned from new. Finished in one of just four colours available at the time, (Alabaster Silver – Code NH700M), the factory original paintwork is simply stunning. A bright uniform shine to the pin straight bodywork will please even the most zealous scrutineer and the only imperfections worthy of mention are a few minor touched in stone chips and a small scratch just behind the driver door rear edge. The first owner specified a huge list of factory options to include, amongst others, the extensive and seldom specified Gloss Black front and rear bumper skirts and body colour side protectors. All bumpers, spoilers, trim and badges are intact and in excellent condition, as are the light clusters which remain clear with none of the common plastic fatigue. Supplying Honda main dealer number plates and rear screen sticker remain fitted to this awesome unspoilt and low mileage example.

INTERIOR
The brilliant body-hugging Type-R racing Alcantara seats, (Code SMT 8), are in pristine order with firm wear free bolsters and none of the common bobbling to the Alcantara fabric. Huge wings to the front seats, red seat panel inserts and Type R embossment are a less than subtle reminder that this really is no ordinary Civic! The carpets have been protected from new by genuine Tyre R embossed floor mats and the matching door cards are in excellent order. The futuristic fascia and trim are immaculate and all functions, controls and head-up displays are perfect in operation, as is the ice-cold dual climate control. The small plaque on the centre console informs you that the car is build number R-10412. The boot area is pristine and has even been protected by a cargo tray from new! Amazing.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Little introduction is needed for the engineering wonderment that is Honda’s legendary naturally aspirated engines and their phenomenal capabilities, and the chain driven K20Z4 i-VTEC in this FN2 Civic remains in factory standard form. From just a 2.0 litre powerplant, Honda engineers have developed an incredible 198bhp with the VTEC system engaging at 5400rpm and maximum power output at an awesome 8200rpm! A top speed of 146mph along with 0-62mph in just 6.6 seconds is enough to embarrass many a performance car with much larger six-cylinder engines. The engine bay is clean and exactly as Honda intended with all factory stickers and plates intact as well as the bright red cam cover suffering none of the common flaking affecting many examples. The slick 6-speed manual short-throw gearbox allow rapid slingshot gear changes.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Expensive factory optional 19in Rage Design alloy wheels feature diamond cut faces against graphite inner spokes. The wheels are in perfect condition with no markings whatsoever. Matching premium brand Pirelli PZero and recently replaced 225/35 ZR19 tyres are fitted all round. The sophisticated braking system features ABS with Electronic Brake-Force Distribution and emergency brake assist and the Type R callipers are clearly visible through the huge spoke apertures, all very clean.

HISTORY FILE
Manufactured in Swindon, England and build number R-10412, the car was first registered on 4th December 2007. Supplied as a UK car by Main Dealer, Holdcroft Honda of Stoke-on-Trent, this example has covered just 38,352 miles from new in the hands of enthusiast Father and Son owners from new. Mr Thompson Senior purchased the car new immediately after his first Type R was taken from him by thieves in a car park robbery. Unperturbed by his short-lived experience with his first car and despite protesting from his family, Mr Thompson defiantly ordered another example and this time ticked virtually every factory option, a true enthusiast! Upon acquiring a company car and wishing not to part with it, the car was retired to weekend usage and in 2016 the car was passed to his son who has owned it since.

All handbooks, manuals and dealership point of sale literature is included in the leather document wallet and there are two original Honda remote keys with code tags and dealer fob. A further history folder contains invoices and MOT certificates and the most recent service was carried out in February 2022 using genuine Honda parts. Completing the history file is an original Honda Type R range brochure. This, low mileage, low owner and unspoilt example will not disappoint.

EXTERIOR
Finished in probably the most desirable colour, Spa Yellow Pearl, (Code Y52P), the vibrant paintwork boasts an amazing finish and looks simply incredible. Thanks to mainly fair-weather use and polished care, a brilliant shine will please show exhibitionists and all lightweight panels are beautifully straight with only a few miniscule marks and touched in scratches, one to the bonnet. The GT hard top protects the original Black hood in amazing condition with one tiny mark and has a heated glass screen. The HID headlights are clear with no discoloration. Honda main dealer number plates and UK S2000 Owners Club screen sticker remain fitted. All wheel-arch apertures are clean and the underside has a light coating of waxyol to preserve factory originality.

INTERIOR
Twist the ignition key, then press the start button and the race car ritual begins! The Black sculptured leather sports seats, (Code A), are spotlessly clean with only hairline veins to the driver’s seat outer bolsters. The low seating position is so that the driver has a closer proximity to the chassis which results in an accurate connection with the car, especially when driving hard. This car is an ergonomic benchmark governed by function rather than gimmicky looks with almost all of the switchgear within fingertip distance of the steering wheel so the driver does not have to take their hands off the wheel. The digital instrument pack is circular so that it follows the shape of the wheel’s rim. All controls, switches and buttons function and the aluminium-leather combination gear lever, aluminium foot pedals, beautiful leather wheel and aluminium kick plates all add to the occasion. Optional Honda S2000 carpet mats remain fitted from new protecting the carpets and the pristine boot area houses all tools.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The compact and lightweight 2.0i VTEC race bred F20C engine, mounted entirely behind the front axle to allow the S2000 to achieve a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution, is a technical marvel.

A power output of 240bhp at an almost unheard of 8300rpm and 208Nm of torque at 7500rpm allows a blistering 0-62 time of 6.2 seconds and top speed 150mph. Factory stickers to the bonnet underside and immaculate engine bay as well identification plates, bulkhead chassis stamp and coloured PDI dabs confirm the absolute originality of this amazing example. The short shift 6-speed gearbox is utterly brilliant and enhances the 9000rpm redline S2000 magic!

The Honda S2000 AP1 was manufactured up to 2003 at Honda’s Takanezawa plant, alongside the NSX and this prime example was registered new on the 6th January 2003 to Dixon Honda, the main dealer. Sold to Mr Pickersgill, the first of just two private owners, the subsequent Dixon Honda invoice reveals a price paid of £24,295 when the car had covered just 625 miles. Mr Pickersgill was fanatical even filing items such as the tag reminding the dealer that hard rubber spacers are fitted to the suspension to increase ground clearance! He also had the car serviced continually at Honda, as was the case up to 30,179 miles when the second private owner, Mr Little took ownership in 2015. A photo of Mr Little with the previous owner on purchase continues the obsessive upkeep with invoices neatly filed, every MOT certificate, old tax discs chronically mounted and even the stickers that came off the tyres retained!

This extraordinary Honda Civic has been owned from new until April 2021 by one lady owner and has covered 7,771 miles.

Finished in factory original Frost White, (Code NH-538), the paint finish is simply stunning with a near flawless uniform finish thanks to its pampered garaged lifestyle. The bodywork is pin straight and nothing other than small scratches to the door mirrors and a very light scuff to the front bumper rubbing strip can be seen.

A factory original UK Honda C90-G Cub with an incredible 193 miles from new!

MODEL HISTORY
Introduced in 1958, the Honda Cub/Super Cub has been in continuous manufacture ever since and production surpassed 100 million in 2017 making it the most produced motor vehicle in history. The idea for a new 50cc motorcycle was conceived in 1956 when Honda Motor’s Soichiro Honda and Takeo Fujisawa toured Germany and witnessed the popularity of mopeds. The requirement however for the motorcycle to succeed in the developing world was, primarily simplicity, and larger wheels than those of a moped in order to cope with badly surfaced roads, or indeed non-existent roads in rural regions. Another requirement of Takeo Fujisawa was that the bike could be ridden one handed whilst carrying a tray of soba noodles, siting that the vast numbers of soba noodle shops in Japan would no doubt want one as a delivery bike. The iconic and phenomenally successful Honda Cub series is widely credited for mobilising and in large part, revolutionising the developing world.

EQUIPMENT
Pressed steel underbone frame, 12-volt electrics, capacitor discharge ignition (CDI), polyethylene leg guard/cowling, black long seat, 3-speed clutchless transmission, fully enclosed drivetrain, horn, primary coupled kick-starter, black finish indicator housing, two adjustable mirrors, speedometer, odometer, turn signal switch, headlight switch, neutral indicator, rear footrests, helmet lock, side storage with toolkit. Dealer options; Rickman Type 23 Fairing kit, middle mount luggage rack, Oxford Essential top box.

EXTERIOR
This wonderful 1991 C90-G is finished in iconic Shuttle Blue Metallic, (Code PB121), with Cortina White leg protector faring. Having covered just 193 miles from new, this collector’s example has never been restored and still boasts first paint credentials, virtually unheard of. Markings to the front mudguard and a scratch to the lower faring are entirely forgivable and do not spoil the appearance. All metal is in remarkable shape having never been welded or repaired with the original exhaust only having microscopic pitting and the engine casing slight tarnishing. Stanley indicator lenses remain fitted and the polyethylene leg guard/cowling has no cracks. Factory decals below the seat and original stickers and warning labels will further delight originality seekers, as will the factory badges. The comfortable dual seat black seat covering is also factory fitment with no rips or tears and the toolkit is present in the side locker. All switchgear, lights and instruments are fully functional. This unspoilt C90 is deliciously retro and a fitting tribute to this Honda icon.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The air cooled 4-stroke 90cc engine develops 7.5bhp at 7500rpm enough to keep up with modern city traffic and perfect for the daily commute. The 3-speed rotary system transmission with automatic clutch is easy to use and in perfect working order. Surprisingly nippy and a lot of fun!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Steel rim/wire spoke wheels are pristine and display correct outer rim stampings and are shod in Yokohama 2.50-17 tyres. The tyres have excellent tread and should be retained but being original fitment, if regular use is intended should be changed. Leading/trailing drum brakes stop the bike quickly and safely.

HISTORY FILE
Despite many minor revisions since its launch in 1958, the Honda Cub style and ethos as a bike for the masses has remained constant, and it is no surprise that true iconic status is firmly cemented. This UK supplied C90-G Cub example was registered new on 25th June 1991 by Q.B Motorcycles to Mr J Burford. Being used to the comfort of motor vehicles his experience on his first and only motorcycle was not enjoyed and after a few short commutes the car was soon favoured once more. The bike remained tucked away in his garage for the next 19 years unused before being purchased by bike collector Mr Robin Victor who part exchanged it with Roy Jervis Motor Cycles, renowned for low mileage classic bikes. The previous third owner, Mr Cartledge, purchased it from Roy Jervis in December 2011 and only parted with it to buy a one owner 2001 Harley Davidson 1200C Sportster with 300 miles from KGF Classic Cars!

All handbooks, spare keys and manuals are included along with previous MOT certificates. The original Honda Owners Card and brochure are also present. Everything about these bikes is legendary from their go anywhere ability, phenomenal reliability and even the famously successful marketing slogan, “You meet the nicest people on a Honda”, which ran from 1963 for 12 years and is still used today as a marketing case study. An excellent example of one of the most significant motor vehicles ever created.

An astonishing UK Honda Accord Type R with 11,897 miles and full Honda history.

EQUIPMENT
Front spoiler, rear skirt, side fairings, mesh grille, auto levelling High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with washers, helical limited slip differential, uprated springs and dampers, Momo leather steering wheel, digital clock, headlight ‘on’ reminder chime, remote fuel filler release, illuminated ignition switch, dashboard illumination control, dual SRS airbags, power front windows and door mirrors, titanium gear shift knob. Factory Options; Boot spoiler, air conditioning, rear parking sensors, Level 2 ICE Programme with Pioneer DEH-P6000R. Dealer accessories; Tailored Type R embossed floor mats.

EXTERIOR
The high-gloss paint finish looks alluring finished in Vesuvio Red, (Code R502) and thanks to strict garage storage and an ultra-low 11,897 miles, is stunning. There are no dings or scuffs and the vehicle has never had a machine polish still boasting the preferred factory full protection. The sculpted front spoiler has a few diminutive stone chips, barley visible to the naked eye. The body coloured door mirrors still have factory check stickers to the underside and dealer branded number plates, boot lid and rear window sticker are affixed. The HID light clusters are crystal clear and all glass is original Honda branded with tiny delamination to one corner of the front screen. A single-minded sports machine and no doubt, the very best example to be offered.

INTERIOR
A driver focused interior has minimal luxuries for superior power to weight ratio witnessed firstly by the lightweight Black Alcantara Recaro seats in pristine condition with absolutely no wear or fade. Due to garage storage and no UV light the seat trim does not have the normal green tinge. Less sound insulation and even the removal of the inside trim for the bootlid and felt from the glovebox found on other Accords was absent in the Type R. The rear seats are unused and a strengthened rear bulkhead means the usual 60/40 split is absent. The Metallic effect dashboard and door trim unique to the Type R is immaculate as is the titanium gear shift knob with no markings. All equipment functions including the optional air conditioning. The carpets have been protected by tailored Type R embossed floor mats supplied by Honda from new which in turn have been protected by rubber floor mats carefully trimmed to fit perfectly. Incredible in all areas.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 2.2 litre DOHC VTEC engine includes detailed engineering refinements to increase airflow at high engine speeds, reduce friction and speed up exhaust gas flow, resulting in an exhilarating 209bhp. When the engine speed reaches a certain point, the VETEC cuts in, the cam profile changes and the results are breathtaking. A top speed of 142mph and 0-62mph in 7.5 secs is quoted. All this in the safe knowledge the car has been maintained exclusively and regularly by the supplying Honda main dealer. The Type-R’s close-ratio gearbox, performance clutch and helical limited slip differential permit rapid acceleration and improve traction out of corners. This car has trigger-like responsiveness.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The 17” alloy wheels have never been refurbished and have no scuffs just the minutest of markings from travelling 11,897 miles. The tyres are recommended Bridgestone Potenza 215/45 R17 replaced in 2016 with ample tread and an unused space saver is present. Huge 16” diameter ventilated front discs, 14” rear discs, high friction, anti-fade brake pads, ABS and Electronic Brake distribution gives you the assurance to explore the Type R’s electrifying performance.

HISTORY FILE
Remarkable. Supplied by Honda Marshall of Peterborough on the 1st September 1999 to Mr Charles Ellis the new car brochure reveals his hand written notes and ticks specifying the Accord Type R with manual air conditioning and a Category 1 Alarm along with some other options. His son, Gary Ellis, was instrumental in the purchase and treated his father to the number plate V22TEC when new and still included with the car. Gary was to become the only other and second owner in August 2019 after his father’s passing. The car has been serviced without fail by the supplying Honda dealer a total of 13 times during the 11,897 miles travelled. The last service was carried out in September 2019. All invoices, MOT certificates and documentation has been carefully filed leaving no doubt to the care bestowed on this iconic car. A full book pack and spare keys with Honda key fobs to both are included. The supplying dealer tax disc holder is included complete with expired discs. KGF Classic Cars were honoured to be contacted when Gary made the painful decision to sell the car his only stipulation being to find a good home for this prime example. We made that promise and a lucky new custodian will be absolutely delighted.
