1987 Honda Prelude

1987 Honda Prelude – A True 80s Icon

Super clean Honda Prelude, one owner from new. A proper survivor that captures what made Honda coupes special in the 80s.

The Prelude first arrived in 1978 as Honda’s sporty compact coupe — built to showcase the brand’s engineering and driving feel rather than outright power. By the mid-80s it had evolved into one of the most advanced Japanese coupes of its time, known for its balanced handling, rev-happy engines and futuristic design.

This example represents that era perfectly with its classic pop-up headlights, a signature feature of many Japanese sports coupes of the time. The Prelude was also one of the cars that helped cement Honda’s reputation for precision engineering and reliability, long before the Type R and VTEC legends arrived.

This particular car has been with one owner from new, a rare find for a vehicle of this age. It’s a low mileage example and remains honest and original. It hasn’t lived its life as a garage queen, so there are some signs of age — exactly what you would expect from a 39-year-old car — but it has clearly been looked after and maintained with care.

Features include:
• Sunroof
• Power steering
• Electric windows
• Iconic pop-up headlights

Cars like this are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially unmodified and with known ownership history. A nostalgic piece of Japanese motoring that still turns heads today.
