The Appeal
The Accord Type R is the classic Honda Type R formula: lighter, more powerful and with significantly improved handling. This tried and tested Honda recipe truly excelled with the Accord.
Described by Evo as “very special indeed” the Accord Type R not only outpaced its competitors of the time, but did it with style. This particular Accord is in exceptional condition throughout – one of those rare cars where we can’t overstate just how good it is.
Inside, outside and mechanically this car delivers. The owner described it as “almost too good to drive”, we can see why!

The History and Paperwork
- V5 Present
- Long MOT
- Regular servicing as indicated by stamps in the service book including a new cambelt in 2021
- Original owner manual and two keys
- A selection of historic MOTs verifying the ultra low mileage
The Interior
- Exceptional condition throughout
- Entirely original and unmodified
- Seats show no signs of wear and no UV fading or damage at all
- Dashboard, door cards, headlining, carpet and trim is all perfect
- Original titanium gear knob
Honda might have stripped back everything they could to achieve the super light weight of the Type R, but make no mistake, the inside of this Accord makes for a fantastic driving experience.
Oozing early 2000’s style, with the deep black Recaro bucket seats (in perfect condition) and the original titanium gear knob, the inside of this Accord looks fantastic.
Everything works exactly as it should and is in perfect un-modified condition.

The Exterior
- Exceptional condition
- One tiny blemish on the wing mirror
- All four wheels are perfect
As with the interior the exterior of this Accord doesn’t disappoint; in exceptional condition there is only one tiny imperfection on one of the wing mirrors, otherwise it looks like it has just rolled out of the Honda factory. Even all of the original decals are present and correct, while the windows, badges, light lenses and trim are in fantastic condition.
With its distinctive Type R styling it looks as good as it goes, and being in such exceptional condition it’s sure to attract attention. This isn’t just ready to show, it’s ready to win shows.
The Mechanics
- Starts, runs and drives perfectly
- Little work carried out due to the very low mileage
- Regularly serviced regardless of mileage
- Cambelt changed in 2021
As you would expect of a car in this condition and with such low mileage it works perfectly. The owner reports that it drives exactly as it should and there are no unusual noises.
Worth noting is that this is an exceptionally original car, even mechanically - it still has the original exhausts as well as the original red paint on the cam cover and when the owner changed the battery he replaced it with an original Honda one.
Kept garaged and meticulously maintained, this car is in exceptional condition, with both the engine bay and underside presenting perfectly.

Summary
Entirely original and presented in exceptional condition with ultra low mileage and only two owners from new, this may just be the best Accord Type R in the country.

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.
