In the 1980s and ‘90s, Japanese car makers cemented their reputation for quality. Honda also brought sportiness and a reputation for introducing new technology to its everyday cars. So, as well as growing in size, the fourth-generation Honda Accord was far more sophisticated than its predecessor, with advanced features such as all-round double wishbone suspension and four-wheel steering.
 
This 1990 dark metallic grey model is an extremely well-presented, low-mileage example that the seller says has had a recent respray, a new alternator and a gearbox service. The car is powered by the all-aluminium 2.2-litre 16-valve engine, matched to a smooth-shifting automatic transmission that suits the car’s relaxed character perfectly. It is also fitted with Honda’s four-wheel steering system, which makes the car more manoeuvrable at low speeds and more stable at higher speeds.

Outside, the metallic grey paintwork is free of obvious blemishes, and the car wears its original 15-inch alloy wheels and rear spoiler. The seller states that the headlights have been fitted with HID (Xenon) bulbs.
 
Inside, the leather interior presents very well, with light patina in keeping with its age. The car is fitted with air conditioning and an electric sunroof.
 
This is a fine example of a model from what many consider to be the peak of Honda’s engineering prowess, and it is becoming increasingly hard to find.

 

BEFORE YOU BUY 

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights under EU consumer protection law do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for guidance only, and it is standard practice to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind. 

✓ VAT is included in the buyer’s fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, so we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes listed on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to confirm they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft and have no finance owing, so you can bid with confidence. 

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off following an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, so it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 

or delivery. Importing vehicles may attract additional customs duties and import taxes, so it is worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder’s responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
