    JDM import? Odd to put a 2000 car on an uninteresting M-plate! 3.0. I presume it's older. Looks good value on the face of it.

    looking at the centre console I would say that car is pre 95, 2000 was probably the import date.

    I did not know the centre console was different on pre 1995 & thought it was 02+?

    I think the big giveaway that it's a import is the rear number plate.

    Early models had a single lid arm rest / centre console.

    Lack of slugs on the nose cone is a big clue too.

    My car is 94 JDM and has the split centre console

    The red M reg car, is around 1991/92 from what I can see.

    In that case, DVLA c*cked up when registering it. Unlikely to have been imported as a previously-unregistered JDM car, no?

    Anybody noticed the weird Honda logo placement on the red 2005?

    That was my assessment too, from what I could see, despite the NA2 gearstick. Still, an early JDM car might have the desirable combination of non-PAS steering but with the shorter 1st and 2nd gears fitted to '94+ NA1s in the UK.

    Aftermarket wheels are either wider than standard or have the wrong offset, too!

    Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
    Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
    Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
    Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
    Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
    Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
    Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof

    The gear knob is not NA2, it looks like a genuine NSX-R one.

    Certainly no pas and short ratios is much nicer to drive in my opinion.
