1981 Honda Civic
***NO RESERVE*** A charmingly original, low-mileage example, showing just 69,000 miles from new
Registration – ESG 125W
Chassis No. – JHMASS5520S116415
M.O.T. – July 2026
Odometer – 69,000
Offered at no reserve, this charming 1981 Honda Civic represents one of the finest surviving examples of Honda’s second-generation hatchback — the model that truly established the brand’s reputation for reliability, economy and engineering precision.
Finished in its original metallic blue, the Civic presents very well for its age, retaining much of its original paintwork and factory trim. The interior is particularly well preserved, featuring the period blue upholstery, unmarked dashboard, and even its original Pioneer radio/cassette player — a rare sight in cars of this era.
Showing just 69,000 miles on the odometer, this example appears to have led a gentle life and has benefitted from careful ownership. It’s accompanied by a valid MOT through to July 2026, making it ready for light use or display.
Unrestored and delightfully honest, this Civic is a wonderful reminder of Honda’s rise to global prominence — a practical, characterful classic that’s now increasingly collectable in original form.
