This 1998 Honda Prelude SiR S Spec, finished in a sleek silver exterior over a black interior, is an exceedingly rare example of the fifth-generation Prelude lineup. Imported from Japan in 2022, this JDM gem boasts 153,193 kilometers and has been meticulously cared for since arriving in the UK. Known as the lightened and simplified version of the Type S, the S Spec features the powerful H22A engine rated at 220 PS, a factory LSD, and notable weight savings of approximately 80 kg thanks to the omission of ATTS, 4WS, and active ABS systems.

Unique to the S Spec are the mid-rise spoiler, specific interior trim, and the distinctive carbon-effect accents shared with the Type S. The cabin also features folding mirrors, tinted rear windows, and a factory front strut brace. Modern upgrades include a touchscreen GPS-enabled Android head unit with global radio frequency compatibility, JBL front door speakers with tweeters, and a JDM dash cam with a data card. A JDM Speed Meter eliminates the factory speed limiter while offering additional data displays. Notable interior touches include Honda dealer floor mats, a Razo carbon-weighted gear knob, and the original JDM safety flare.

Performance enhancements include Tein Street Flex Z coilovers and a Cusco rear strut brace for precise handling, while the Mugen Twin Loop stainless steel cat-back exhaust adds a sporty tone. The Prelude rides on rare 17x8 Rays Gram Lights 57C wheels wrapped in Bridgestone tires, with a tucked fitment that complements its aggressive stance. Additional exterior upgrades include a Honda Access rear lip, a P1 front lip, clear side repeaters, HID fog lights, and LED lighting throughout.

Recent maintenance ensures this Prelude is in peak mechanical condition, including a full service with new plugs, air and oil filters, coolant flush, and drilled and grooved front and rear discs with new pads. The air conditioning system has been overhauled with a replacement controller and blend door motor and now works flawlessly. Rust-free thanks to its dry-use history, the Prelude has minor cosmetic flaws such as lacquer lift on the driver’s front wing and passenger door, but no corrosion.

The car comes with two original keys, a cut spare, the complete original tool kit, and Japanese paperwork alongside UK service receipts.
