The vendor acquired the Prelude on 3 April 2005 at approximately 79,500 miles and has therefore owned it for more than two decades.
The accompanying history records that the camshaft timing belt was changed at 58,500 miles, while previous MOT certificates cover the period from 2004 to 2011.
The car has also been converted to run on...
