I have had three old Civic's in the past and think they are great motors. The first one I had was a two door 1200 manual. The things handle pretty well and go great. It's no wonder this model put Honda on the map. This is the first one I had...  It was £100 and after thrashing the life out of it for 6 month and 6000 miles I sold it for £50 with no mot. It was dead reliable and really economical. It didn't matter if you did 30mph or 90mph, it still did 40 to the gallon. The last one I had a a four door 1400 Hondamatic. They are suprisingly quick for what they are and great fun as well. One day I'll get myself anothjer one to do a little tweeking on. A Vtech powered one would be ace. The older Honda's have never really had much of a following here (apart from the S600/S800) which is a shame. I'd love to get my hands on either of these two. A Civic cabriolet and a wagon. I think they did sel wagons here in '74 but I've never seen one.   Salt flats racer style Civic...  Honda Z's are way cool...they do actually fetch strong money here for a good one now...  I think these little Honda step vans are cool to. There's also a pickup version!  |

One of these made it to the UK as an evaluation model. The car still exists too.  Known as the 1300, it was also made as a 4 door saloon. With typical honda thinking the car had a high revving potent engine.   |

Darren, I thought Honda actually did market the 1300 Coupe here, rather than just bring one in for evaluation. I'm sure one of the magazines at the time road tested one  |

DHX 40H? Autocar (and Motor too I think) gave it the thumbs up. But I think Honda didn't think that such a car could be marketed here - they didn't have the pedigree and heritage they have today. Shame really, it would have shown BMC and Ford a thing or two.
I guess they decided that a sporting coupe wouldn't be as profitable as the family Civic, which proved to be ideal for mass marketing in Europe.
