Hi guys, thanks for the warm welome and the kind comments. It really was a great find, had been holding out for a 4wd but as this was only the third Shuttle I had seen for sale in the last 18 months I had to have it.
Wow that thing is awesome! I still cant believe most UK cars are under 50,000 miles. Mines got 204,000 and Moons wagon is at 301,000 miles. I love the interior on the Uk Wagons!
Have you guys seen how big the US is compared to the UK? The whole of the UK is basically smaller than one US state , everything in the States is further apart.
Anyway, just because a couple of wagons from the UK have low ks doesnt mean they all do
That said, super clean car, almost looks new. Hopefully the underneath hasnt been eaten by salt

I dont know, I'm literally on the other side of the world
I have friends who have lived/do live there and its not uncommon to see cars with 120+miles though, they salt their roads were it snows which can severely shorten the lifespan of cars.
But enough thread jacking, on with the project thread.
Hi, here's a quote I found on an insurance website "On average, UK motorists travel 9,628 miles a year, with close to a quarter (23 per cent) travelling up to 15,000 miles."
I know I personally travel about 12000 miles a year, but what you say is right, it is tiny, I got my Prelude in Bournemouth right on the South Coast of England and drove it back to Glasgow in 5 hours, it was about 400miles.
The salt on the roads is a nightmare, my Prelude was originally imported with no rust treatment at all, but it became such an issue for Honda in the UK that they ended up offering it as an option on all cars in the early 80's
A company called Bygging rustproofed the cars and the guarantee was for 6 years, the booklet was among the paperwork I got with the car.
Hi, been doing a bit of work to freshen the Shuttle up for the Summer.
Painted the bumpers
Clear Indicators front and side
Original Honda 14" alloy wheels from a 1986 Prelude 2.0 16v with 195/60s
New Alpine speakers and Head Unit, ran out of cassettes to listen to!!
Cheers.

My uncle has a cottage in Glasgow.
Not sure where.
I know mum goes there a lot.
The prelude wheels make that wagon especially with the color.
