Hi folks. Had a 2010 Civic TypeS GT in red (aka Sexy Lexy) about 9 years ago, followed by a 2008 Civic TypeR in silver (aka Roxy). Traded the TypeR in for something more sensible for a daily driver, and have had a load of various cars since then. Always missed my TypeS tho! Was supposed to be looking for a classic 1980s Vw Golf convertible or an old Scirocco, but got fed up looking at sheds. Decided plan B was needed which was to sell my 1st Gen MINI Cooper s convertible and get a sensible daily driver again! Initially looked at 10th gen civics, but wasn't too keen on the style, so the hunt was on for a TypeS GT again (pref in red). Had to be the GT, had to be the 1.8 and no older than a 2010. Found one down in Yorkshire for £4.5k, years mot, service history, 64k on the clock,in red....and even the first 2 letters of the reg were the same as my old one (OE). She drives like a brand new car, so happy to be back in an 8th gen! Only got a few pics of her so far but will get more. Hope you like! Some subtle mods on the way, pretty much the same as I did withLexy senior lol Oh, and also means DD is relieved of the daily driving duties, so tucked up in the garage. Means I can spend time getting her back to show standard now!

Lol yeah, I've always looked at them too ever since I sold the first Lexy. Thing is, they really seem to have held onto their values. Looked about 6 months ago and the 1.8 GTs, if you could find one, we're silly prices. Saw one with 50k on it and it was 8 grand! Never thought I'd find one again, but just by luck this one popped up at a garage on Autotrader. Had only been listed for an hour, nit even any pics up of it as it was still being prepped. Knew we had to check it out, and when the photos went up Gayle reserved it there and then! Guy at garage had had a load of phone calls about it before we got down there, so glad she did! Just drives so nice, feels like a new car, and just like my old Lexy. That has always been the one car I regretted selling, even more so than Ruby. No regrets now though!
