Mysuru, Karnataka – A unique and rare fourth-generation Honda Prelude, known for its distinctive body kit and status as a collectible retro classic sports car, has been listed for sale at an attractive price of INR 6.25 lakh. This imported vehicle, with Maharashtra (MH) passing, is currently located in Mysuru, Karnataka, making it a standout piece for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The Honda Prelude in question comes equipped with a 1.5L AE100 engine, offering a blend of performance and classic charm. As the fourth owner of this well-maintained vehicle, the current seller highlights that the car is in good running condition, with no pending work required. Despite the Fitness Certificate (FC) lapsing in 2018, the car’s condition and rarity more than compensate for this detail.
This sports coupe is a testament to a bygone era when body kits and modifications were celebrated within car cultures, reminiscent of the early scenes from the “Fast and Furious” franchise. As noted by car enthusiast ‘hoonigoan’, such modifications are a nod to the vibrant and expressive car customization scene of the late ’90s and early ’00s. Despite differing opinions on the aesthetic value of these modifications, the Prelude represents a period where creativity and personal expression in car design were paramount.
The Honda Prelude itself is a storied model produced by Honda over five generations from 1978 to 2001. The model for sale belongs to the fourth generation, known for its more angular and less aggressive design compared to its predecessor, aiming to revive the sales by returning to the styling cues of the third generation (1987–1991). The car’s design, featuring a two-door notchback style with an FF layout and an independent front suspension, reflects Honda’s innovative approach to sports coupe design, including being the first in the lineup to feature a moonroof.
This listing represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history, particularly for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles and those with an appreciation for the unique cultural era of car modifications it represents.
