Fast Facts

Very original example of one of the most renowned Japanese performance cars ever produced, finished in Milano Red with the original black interior.

Kept under the care of the seller for the past 17 years, with only routine maintenance and minor restoration work required.

One of only 863 Australian-delivered examples, with this car hailing from the final year of production.

The Details

Hailing from an era of extraordinary Japanese performance cars, this 2001 Honda Integra Type R has survived as one of the most original examples of this renowned performance car.

This particular example is an Australian-delivered model from the final year of DC2 production, as evidenced by its quad-headlight design. Although relatively plentiful in its home market of Japan, only 863 units were created for the Australian market.

Kept in the care of the seller for 17 years, the car’s original owner is known to them. As a result, this Milano Red model presents in unmodified form – a rarity for cars from this time.

Regarded by many as one of the greatest-handling front-wheel drive cars of all time, it’s powered by the iconic 141kW ‘B18C’ engine that’s able to rev as high as 8800rpm thanks to its distinctive VTEC variable valve timing system. Its double wishbone front and rear suspension also prioritised driver engagement over all else.

Work done to this example over its 214,870km lifetime has been limited to standard maintenance and minor restoration work – a testament to Honda’s well-known reliability – with receipts provided by the seller.

Aside from the bonnet which has been resprayed and a small touch-up on the rear bumper, the rest of its paintwork is original.

It currently rides on 15-inch ROH alloy wheels shod in Bridgestone Potenza RE003 tyres, two of which were recently replaced in January 2026.

Inside, the care shown to this car over its lifetime is evident, with the original Recaro bucket seats and floor mats still in place. Period correct features including the original Honda-branded six-CD changer also remain.

With the fanbase, support network, and reputation the DC2 Type R has, this car makes for an attainable future classic that is ready to enjoy on the road today.
