The Appeal

The sixth generation of Honda’s Civic was notable for delivering the Rover 45 and MG ZS, two very different models that tell you a lot about the Civic’s capabilities. This is a car that is both well-built and quality-orientated whilst being agile and engaging hatchback.

Many of the remaining survivors are the well-regarded high performance models, but more everyday models are surprisingly rare finds. Particularly when they are as original, unmodified and sparingly used as this one. Finished in red, it has covered just 30,000 miles in the hands of two keepers. It is in really good order for a 29 year old modern classic.

The car comes to market with a recent service in September 2025 and lengthy, advisory-free MOT until September next year. We’re all for the growing appeal of everyday classics. Could this be your wheels for the next Festival of the Unexceptional?
