This 1999 Honda Torneo SiR-T is a clean and largely original example of a rare Japan-only sports sedan, finished in blue over a gray interior and showing 232,000 kilometers. Powered by Honda’s high-revving F20B engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this SiR-T delivers the essence of late-’90s Honda engineering—sharp, balanced, and built to be driven.
The Torneo SiR-T was a Japan Domestic Market (JDM) exclusive, produced in limited numbers—just 1,100 units in total—and shared much of its underpinnings with the celebrated Accord Euro R. This example was imported to Ireland from Japan in 2009 by Ice Tronix Imports and has since remained well-preserved, showing clear signs of careful ownership and minimal modification.
The exterior presents beautifully in its original blue finish, accented by a set of OZ Racing alloys originally designed for the Lancer Evolution III. The car sits on YSR Dynamic Pro Sport coilovers, offering an improved stance and handling response while retaining road comfort. Subtle OEM Honda Access accessories—including Modulo sport mufflers, factory wind deflectors, and other optional trim pieces—complete the authentic JDM aesthetic without compromising originality.
Inside, the gray interior remains clean and well-kept, reflecting the car’s age and mileage with impressive grace. The factory seats, dashboard, and door panels show minimal wear, and all interior equipment, including the air conditioning, is said to function properly. The simple, driver-focused cockpit emphasizes Honda’s golden-era design ethos, with an engaging manual gearbox and a rev-happy four-cylinder that defines the driving experience.
Under the hood, the 2.0-liter F20B VTEC engine is known for its robust performance and reliability, delivering an engaging 200 horsepower through the front wheels. This combination of a naturally aspirated, high-revving powerplant and a lightweight chassis makes the SiR-T an ideal balance of practicality and sportiness—an increasingly rare formula in today’s market.
