The car has been built as an enthusiast’s car and has a huge amount of parts and work invested into it.
It is a seriously fun car to drive and never fails to put a smile on my face and I would love to see someone else enjoy it as much as I have building it / driving it.
I’m being completely upfront about the car, including the 3rd gear issue. The spare gearbox is included, along with a folder full of receipts and spare parts, so the next owner has a solid starting point for whatever they want to do with it.
If you’re looking for a standard Civic, this isn’t it.
But if you want a modified EG and understand modified cars then this may be for you.
