1982 Honda Prelude XXR JDM RHD

Bid to Win!

VIN: SN-3002508

This 1982 Honda Prelude XXR is a right-hand-drive Japanese-market example that was reportedly imported as part of a private Los Angeles-based collection. Features include a rear window wiper, cruise control, and an electric sunroof. Power comes from a 1.8 Liter inline-four paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. This Prelude is offered in California with Japanese records/manuals and a clean Oregon title in my name.

The first-generation Prelude weighedjust 2006 pounds. Japanese-market styling cues include fender-mounted mirrors and yellow Cibie foglights. Body panels are finished in two-tone silver/blue with a red stripe 13×5″ cast wheels with unique stamping are mounted with Falken Pro Touring all-season tires manufactured in 2018. Braking is provided by front discs and rear drums.

Seats are upholstered in patterned cloth and are in excellent condition (1 very small rip in vinyl on top of back seat - see pic), carpets are excellent and covered by Japanese floor mats. The passenger-rear backrest cushion can be folded down for increased cargo capability, a Japanese-band Pioneer cassette deck is fitted and does receiveFM broadcasts in the lower ranges. The factory air conditioning system remains but does not blow cold according to the seller. The XXR also has a unique gauge layout with the Tachometer set in an inner ring inside the speedometer The 5-digit odometer shows approximately 2,000 kilometers and is believed to have rolled over once(actual mileage conversion is 63,380 miles).The front-hinged hood opens to reveal a naturally-aspirated1,751ccEK CVCC12-valve inline-four, which developed 94 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque when new. Plenty of power considering the 2006 pound curb weight. Power is sent through a three-speed automatic transmission.

I have been using this car as one of my daily drivers and it is a real blast to drive. I get the THUMBS UP all the time and people often stop and talk about how cool the car is.

An engine oil/filter change was completed April 2019.

Note: This is a Japanese Domestic Model Legally imported under the 25 year ruling. Car is sold on clean / clear Oregon Title in MY NAME and is currently registered for street use.(copy available upon request). Overall condition of car is very good, tires are like new, runs and drives very well as expected for a 1982 Vehicle. Engine runs great, transmission operates correctly, variable Power Steering, suspension and brakes are in good operating condition.

Exceptions:

  • Air conditioning does not blow cold (needs charge I believe)
  • Fuel Gauge is not working
  • Radio is JDM - only picks up the lower range FM stations
  • Car does not meet CARB qualifications and would need modifications to be registered for street use in CALIFORNIA
  • Please check your local state rules for licensing this JDM Honda. I believe it is ok anywhere but California. It is currently registered & titled in my name in the state of Oregon.
  • Small paint chip by fuel door and on top edge of right rear fender at trunk line (see photos)
  • Small tear on top center of back seat can be repaired by Vinyl Repair Person (see photo)

    Hidden Treasure

    1982 Honda Prelude XXR

    MAR 24, 2019BY JAY TRAUGOTTCAR CULTURE/9 COMMENTS

    Originally sold in Japan only. Now it can be yours.

    TheHonda Prelude was built from 1978 until its discontinuation in 2001. Although it was mechanically similar to the early Accord, thePrelude was smaller, lighter, and sportier. It also borrowed the original Accord's four-wheel independent struts, brakes, and engine. However, it featured its own unique chassis. A few of its competitors include the Toyota Celica and Nissan Silvia. The Prelude was also the first Honda to feature a power moonroof.

    In Japan, that moonroof was a sliding metal unit while in the US it was glass, enabling greater headroom. Sunroofs became a signature Prelude trait from that point onward. Under the hood was a 1.6-liter inline-four rated at just 79 hp and 93 lb-ft of torque or an optional 1.8-liter inline-four. However, the latter engine produced 72 hp and 94 lb-ft in the US market.

    Initially, just two transmissions were offered: a five-speed manual or a two-speed semi-automatic, but a three-speed slushbox arrived not long after the Prelude's initial launch. Total weight: a darn reasonable 1,980 pounds, which is less than a first-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata. It's easy to see the Prelude's appeal. Honda wanted a more premium coupe with a sportier edge to compete against those aforementioned Japanese competitors as well as a few from the US.

    Remember, this was right around the time when Honda opened its Marysville, Ohio production facility which to this day still builds Accords. The Prelude received rave reviews from the automotive press at the time of its launch and it sold well enough in the US to earn a redesign that came in 1982.

    A total of five generations appeared before the Prelude's departure from the Honda lineup 23 years after its arrival. But there was one Prelude trim in particular that has become the so-called ultimate MK1 Prelude. And, of course, it was sold in Japan only. The Prelude XXR came standard with a lot of features not available in other markets, such as the Kanji-labeled "Electronic Navigator" that's mounted behind the shifter and above the factory graphic equalizer.

    There's also a digital clock, which may seem pretty basic today, but the US-market MK1 Prelude had a mechanical flip quartz-powered clock. The standard two-tone exterior paint job was also unavailable on US market cars. Even the four-spoke wheels are quite unique due to their factory stampings stating wheel size and the model name.

    The interior also features a cloth upholstery with an interesting design as well as a ski pass-through in the rear. Rear disc brakes were also standard fare. But perhaps the most important XXR feature was its more powerful 1.8-liter engine, rated at 94 horsepower / 103 ft-lb torque.

    Considering this Prelude's rarity and solid shape, chances are you'll have a hard time finding another one like it already in the US.
