2008 Honda Civic Type-R GT (FN2)

Description

Three owner example from 13 year ownership; desirable GT spec model with legendary high-revving K20 198bhp vTec engine

Supplied new by Fish Brothers Honda of Swindon in November 2008, this pokey Honda Civic Type-R hails from the 8^th Generation of Civic, with this variant of Type-R known as the FN2.  Finished in popular Milano Red the car looks to be in uncommonly stock spec and sits on its original 18” seven-spoke alloy wheels.

Under the bonnet, we find the 2.0 litre K20Z4 high-revving i-V-Tec four-cylinder engine which develops 198bhp at a heady 7,800rpm and 193NM of torque at 5,600rpm driving the front wheels via six-speed manual transmission which gives the driver a real buzz when in the V-tec zone.

Inside this (higher) GT spec example we find black and red Alcantara bucket seats with the Type-R logo embossed, red carpets and door trim, black dash, electric windows, cruise control, on-board computer, digital climate control with AC, independent passenger heat/cool control, rain sensing wipers, refrigerated glove box, front fog lights, automatic head lights, front and rear curtain airbags, original sound system with MP3, radio/CD/Aux etc, starter button and power folding electric wing mirrors.

The car shows 108,000 miles and looks good with some marks as pictured commensurate with its age/mileage (see images) with a smart interior and was driven to the sale.

The history file includes the V5C showing just two former keepers to the current of 13 years, the owner’s pack and service book recording 13 stamps inc. PDI in one service book plus a 14^th stamp in a continuation booklet, the last in August 2021 at 95,060 miles by a local independent who has looked after the car since 2014, prior to which is was looked after by Honda Hereford and Gloucester. 

An additional stamp is also noted in the service book for valve clearance adjustment in August 2022 at 102,986 miles.  The file also includes two keys, a couple of recent bills for an ABS sensor and stabiliser link, one old Mot plus the current, valid until September 2024 with no advisories;

Ready to be enjoyed, these high-revving V-Tec Civics have a loyal fan base and offer hatch-back practicality with some real zest and fun factor, winning Top Gear magazines Hot Hatch of the year 2007.
