Description
FOR SALE: 1979 HONDA C90ZZ - RESTORED, AWARD-WINNING — RARE SURVIVOR Reg: FPL 661V | First Registered: 14th December 1979 - Real head turner - people want to stop and chat - well you meet the nicest people on a Honda! Historic vehicle - no Tax or MOT required!
First registered in the Southampton area in December 1979, this C90 was in everyday use for almost 10 years before being taken off the road in May 1989. It then sat in dry garage storage for the next 33 years — a remarkable period of preservation that has helped keep this example so complete.
In May 2022, the bike was purchased by a gentleman in Oldham with the intention of restoring it, though time didn't allow him to complete the project. In June 2023, it passed to another gentleman in Blackburn, who began a full restoration on 28th June 2023. After months of careful work, the restoration was completed on Friday 19th January 2024.
Since completion, the bike has already proven its quality on the show circuit, being awarded Class Winner at the Cumbria Steam Gathering, Flookburgh 2024, run by the Cumbria Steam & Vintage Vehicle Society.
The result is a beautifully presented, prize-winning Honda C90 with genuine history from new, backed by a documented ownership trail spanning over 40 years — a rare opportunity for collectors and classic Honda enthusiasts alike. I removed the windscreen but this will be included in the sale. The bike runs as good as it looks - like a Swiss Watch! Whether you’re looking for a standout bike for shows, a centrepiece for your garage or man cave, or just something to admire and enjoy, this C90 ticks every box. Any inspection welcome.
