  • 1980 Honda Accord

    Due to an impending change in circumstances I'm regrettably looking to move my old Honda on. It's a 1st Generation 1980 3 door, 1600 Auto (3sp Autobox) with 55k miles on the clock.

    This isn't the fastest bus in the world, far from it infact, but it does make for a very reliable and comfy cruiser.

    Bodywork
    Bodywork is superb for a Honda of this era with it being Zeibarted at some stage in it's life although it is starting to show it's age. There's a small amount of bubbling coming through under the rear windows, the roof gutters, one corner by the boot and the scoop on the scuttle. Floor pans, boot floor, sills, bulkhead and strut tops are all bang on. Rolls on very rare Compomotive alloys (had quite a few comments about these at a car show) and budget tyres, one of which needs topping up after a few days.

    Mechanics
    Mechanically the engine is sound, it doesn't burn any oil and is totally leak free. Starts on the button every time and has been 100% reliable while being used as my daily drive, didn't even skip a beat on a 500 mile round trip to a car show earlier this month.
    Bits that need looking at sometime down the line are the exhaust which is blowing (not too bad) and there's a bush on it's way out on the near side front which occasionally knocks on particularly bumpy roads.

    Interior
    Black cloth seats up front and back which are starting to show signs of wear with some of stitching/seams starting to split (no tears). It'd be an easy fix for an upholsterer I'd imagine. Roof-lining doesn't sag and the carpets are nice and dry. The only thing that's not currently working inside the car is the clock, which seems to have grown a mind of it's own over the past few months.


    The car drives lovely and is ideal for any Honda enthusiast as there's not many of these left on the road. Taxed until August next year (£12 to renew) and insurance is a sniff over £100.

    Price wise I'm looking in region of £1100 ovno.

    One of these was my Father's first car in 1979. Lovely cars and extremely rare!

    Best of luck with the sale, I hope you find a real enthusiast......
    I'm aiming to be a legend, and I will be!

    Fingers crossed, it'll be out at the next car meet if anyone reading this wants to take a look around it.
