2007 Honda Civic Type R

KEY FACTS A rare and exclusive JDM performance sedan, this Honda Civic Type R FD2 is a highly engaging modern classic, presented in a very rare factory colour. It is powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated K20A inline-four i-VTEC engine, driving the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a 2007 Japan-delivered model, which was later imported to Australia, where it passed compliance in March 2021. The odometer indicates 44,513 km, which the seller believes to be the genuine total. This example is finished in the rare hue of Vivid Blue Pearl, a factory colour reportedly applied to only around 450 of the 14,000 FD2s produced, making it a highly coveted variant for collectors. Build year: 2007 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This Civic Type R FD2 is finished in the rare shade of Vivid Blue Pearl over a black synthetic suede and cloth-trimmed interior, featuring red stitching and embroidered Type R logos on the front seat backs. It rides on a set of 18-inch seven-spoke lightweight alloy wheels finished in gunmetal, framing red Brembo brake callipers, and fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres and JJR 20mm bolt-on wheel spacers. Equipment includes a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission with a factory helical limited-slip differential, Brembo four-piston front brake callipers, automatic air conditioning, a central media system with telephone module, an aggressive Type R front bumper, rear diffuser, and high-rise rear wing. The car has been customised with Tein Spec coilovers, lowering the front by 10mm and the rear by 25mm. The seller notes that the OEM coilovers accompany the car. Also accompanying the car are the owner's manuals and service books (all in Japanese), a Japanese Export Authority Certificate, and two protective car covers. One key is also provided, and the OEM coilovers will be sold with the car. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller i
