Default £62K Civic type r ??

I know its a mugen prototype but £62k?
It also says 240ps which makes it no better than an s2000 engine. Im sure you could build a better one for under £20k.

That car is but a few miles from me ...

Looks absolutely fantastic!!

Much better than the current range of KIA lookalike Scoobys - I'm sure you will agree?

The Civic is a cracking looking car, marry that to a 2.2 Diesel engine delivering an eye watering, neck snapping, 340Nm of torque, yet returning 55mpg - and you have an absolute winner!

And why I bought one ......

Every racing engine I constructed was built by hand. Just wondering how else it could be done effectively!

Practically speaking however, unless you want to race the car, what is the point these days of continuous traffic in wasting all that cash to use it on the road?

My petrol Saab has more than that and my neck is rarely snapped and my eyes never water (except when putting petrol in it).

The official mugen civic was £39k new, and very highly rated (unlike the base civic type r)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpA0E...feature=relmfu

looks like the car in the ad is genuine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XQmcc8v6H4

but its never worth £61k lol

Some of these rare factory specials go for a lot of money like a Skyline Z tune for example.

I wanted to buy a Mugen in white ... last year when I bought my fantastic diesel version. But, sadly, Honda state that it is not to tow anything and no Towbar is available.

Or a Mugen 200 would be sitting on my drive this moment!

Eye Candy ...... pure automotive delight ....
