Thundersaloon Prelude

25 March 2009 One Comment

This is probably the wildest 4th gen Honda Prelude I’ve ever seen.

The car is built by JTM for Rod Birley in 1992 which raced in many front line series in UK. Going beyond the wild exterior, this right hand drive racecar have been converted to a rear wheel drive using a Hewland DGB transaxle. And the old Honda engine have been replaced by an SCS prepared Cosworth YB turbo engine producing approx 480 BHP. It also features a center lock BBS racewheels and airjacks for quick pit stop service.

More pics showing how it started and in different livery configs.

Rod sold the car to Peter Thurston in 2003. And it is currently for sale by TouringCarSpares for £20,000. Contact touringcarspares@tiscali.co.uk for more info.
