Hi guys,Just a quick hello from Lincolnshire UK..I have just picked up my first ever Honda,indeed my first ever Japanese car, after years of Vee Dubbin'..
It's an '86 Aerodeck in silver, totally standard 2,0l carburetted EX model..First registered 10/03/1986 it has covered only 35,500 miles..the first owner being a lady who lived for many years in Australia but kept the car over here to use whilst visiting home...She put a little over 35,000 miles on the car from new until 6 months ago when she traded it in for a new car at our local Toyota dealership. The car was then bought by a semi retired guy I know who works as a valet for the dealership,who has subsequently driven a little under 500 miles during his 6 months of ownership.He has now bought a new car and offered me "The Delorean"... I had to snap his hand off!!
The car is still wearing it's original tyres (!) and everything works just fine..the only signs of age being a couple of mild rust scabs at the end of each sill,which I intend to have taken care of straight away. Otherwise the whole vehicle is immaculate.Will try to get some pics up over the weekend.
Having checked out the UK website howmanyleft.com it would appear that only one 86 EX aerodeck is registered as being on the road in this country so I guess this is it..oldest in the UK?
Well that's me done waffling,Look forward to chatting with y'all in the future..
