2001 Honda Integra Type-R C-Pack (JDM DC5)

Highlights

  • Desirable JDM model
  • MOT to October 2023
  • Optional C-Pack
  • Unmodified, factory spec

The Appeal

Few engines have had the impact on the car scene that the VTEC series has. For decades now, it has been the go-to for reliable power that’s delivered in a visceral manner.
One of the finest cars to feature a VTEC drivetrain was the Integra DC5. It never made it to the UK or Europe, so the only right-hand drive examples you’ll see are JDM or Australian imports.
This is a JDM spec model which, as it has the more powerful 217bhp engine, is the one you want. Presented here in unmodified and factory specification, with a long MOT, this is an opportunity to acquire a rare and highly-regarded driver's car.

The History and Paperwork

  • First registered in 2001 in Japan
  • Imported to the UK in February 2014, all documentation completed
  • 2 owners in the UK
  • MOT to October 2023
  • Comprehensive Japanese history file and original handbooks
  • 2 sets of keys
  • 120,500 Km (74,875 miles), according to the recent MOT

The Interior

  • Red suede and fabric Recaro bucket seats
  • There is some wear to both front seats, and the outer bolsters of the driver’s seats have considerable wear and some tearing
  • Black fabric rear bench looks in excellent condition, with no notable damage
  • Red cabin carpets and matched overmats
  • Headliner looks clean, secure and undamaged
  • Optional factory ‘C-Pack’, which gives air-conditioning, a rear wiper, remote locking and folding door mirrors
  • Electric windows and door mirrors
  • We’re told that the passenger door and not do not lock
  • Double din Panasonic stereo system with radio/CD/MiniDisc
  • Generally the control, gauges and trim are in good condition for the age, with some minor blemishes and marks
  • The boot is trimmed in grey carpet and contains a spacesaver spare
  • Under the boot carpet, the floor and wheel well look to be in good order, with no corrosion evident
  • Overall the interior condition is good, and appear to be unmodified

The Exterior

  • Championship White paintwork with some minor scratches, scuffs and marks, but no major damage
  • Generally, the bodywork and trim look to be in good condition, with no notable damage or corrosion that we could see
  • The badging to the bonnet, boot and rear quarters has perished and would benefit from replacement
  • There appears to be some damage to the off-side upper corner of the windscreen seal
  • Original 17” ten-spoke alloys present and correct, but in need of refurbishment
  • Underneath, the car looks solid and straight, but there is a light covering of surface corrosion on most surfaces

The Mechanics

  • 1,998cc iVTEC DOHC engine, delivering 217bhp
  • 6-speed manual transmission with helical LSD
  • Brembo brakes, with four-pot front callipers
  • Engine bay appears to be clean and tidy, with no sign of leaks or damage we could see, although some of the rubber hoses look like they may need replacing
  • We’re told by the vendor that the car drives well, accelerating nicely, braking straight and handling as it should
  • It’s reported that the car has no leaks, does not smoke and has no mechanical issues the vendor is aware of



Summary

Few cars are as evocative, or as recognisable purely from the sound of their engines, as a Type-R. When that high-revving VTEC is wrapped up in the body of a JDM spec DC5, it’s even more desirable.
This is a solid, clean example that appears to be unmodified which can be enjoyed on your favourite B-road and, with some light fettling, will be ready to attend car shows.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
