Hey guys - will out an add up on pheads in the next couple of days, but sadly my 2000 DC2 Integra Type-R is having to go. Apparently a TVR and 3 other cars in central London is extravagent my wife tells me... Drop me a line if anyone is looking for a good one.

We needed a delivery vehicle for my wife's business and baby-friendly family car, so a Maser and more sadly the Integra have gone, and been replaced with a Golf R32 5dr. Great car but not a Teg, thirsty, and depreciating rather than appreciating...!

It is a fab one, although would be much easier to sell if it wasn't. Most Integra Type-Rs buyers seem to have shallow pockets so there seems to be a mental price barrier in any condition at around £4500. Maybe I need to hold onto it until Chinese investors cotton on and I can sell it through Christies...

It is definitely one I'm going to look back on and regret. I can't think of another 15 year old car that goes in for an annual service and they can't physically find anything to do.

I second that on it being generally manageable with babies, if a little impractical.

Economically, it is cost free as it will appreciate more than the costs. In fact I'm keenly watching the ad count down as wifey says I can keep it if noone buys it.

Practically, in theory it is actually good. I've disabled the passenger airbag and driven with him in the car seat in the front a few times. The boot will actually swallow more than our Lexus Sportcross as it is massive! You are also viewed as a hero turning up to events with a baby in what most people assume is a racing car. If we was 1.5+ years old today there is no way I would sell, as it is easy doable with a young kid.

I'm more bothered about knocking the insides of the car around with prams and car seats, and also doing my back in when trying to get the carseat in and out of the back.
