The Appeal
Known for its excellent performance, endless tuning potential, and signature Honda durability, the EP3 Type R has quickly obtained a legendary reputation amongst enthusiasts. These hot hatches pack arguably one of the most sought-after engines on the planet, along with a well-balanced chassis. As a result, you’ll find the EP3 more than capable out on a twisty B road or race track, yet the vehicle will also quite happily handle daily driving.
This particular example is rather low mileage by EP3 standards and shows just 4 former keepers on the V5C. This Honda has also seemingly been well cared for by knowledgeable enthusiasts over the years, and now presents itself in excellent mechanical condition, ready to be enjoyed.
If you’re looking to add one of the finest hot hatches money can buy to your collection, look no further than this very EP3 Type R.

- Slight blemishes with brushed silver trim pieces, as pictured on the driver’s door card
- 3-spoke leather steering wheel in excellent condition
- Double-din head unit
- Aftermarket black and red shift knob
- Excellent overall interior condition, with only minor signs of use in keeping with the age and mileage of the vehicle. The driver’s seat does show noticeable wear, but arguably less than similar examples
The Exterior
- B92P Nighthawk Black paintwork, in excellent condition with only minor blemishes, mainly towards the front end
- It would appear a knowledgeable previous owner has removed the rear wheel arch liners, which are rather notorious for holding moisture. As a result, the arches seemingly show only minor signs of age, with dirt and very light surface corrosion.
- Refurbished 17” alloy wheels, in excellent condition, fitted with Falken tyres all around.
- Believed to be standard, non-modified bodywork and styling
- Overall, the vehicle presents itself in excellent exterior condition for its age and mileage. There are minor blemishes noticeable upon close inspection, but with a good machine polish, this will likely show off a mirror-like finish once again.
The Mechanics
- K20A2 4-cylinder
- Manual 6-speed
- Valid MOT until January 2023
- Drives and performs exactly as intended, with no known issues
- Good service history

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 £10,000 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £50,000 | £250.00 |

| £100,000+ | £1000.00 |
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.
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.
