Description Just three owners; low mileage; super rare Rather cool 1986 Honda AX Prelude, showing just 71,888 miles, MOTd until December 2023.

This Prelude was previously owned by the vendor's aunt, who had bought the vehicle wanting a car to call her own.

The vendor acquired the Prelude after her death in 2006 for his wife, but unfortunately due to ill-health, the car never got as much use as she would have liked and now after 17 years of ownership, she has reluctantly put her beloved car up for auction.

Powered by a 1.8-litre twin-carburettor 12-valve engine, this Honda seems to have held up well mechanically with just serviceable items needing to be replaced since the vendors ownership.

Unfortunately, the bodywork of the vehicle has seen better days (see photos) but is far from disrepair.

Inside the car looks very good indeed, with wear comensurate to the mileage of the vehicle, a deep clean should see it back to near pristine condition.

It comes with 13 MOT certificates along...
