Low-Mileage 1992 Honda Civic EG Could Be a Museum Piece
Honda enthusiasts and collectors are always on the lookout for low-mileage examples of mainstream cars from the ’80s and the ’90s. These cars are becoming increasingly popular and are fetching ridiculous prices in auctions. Recently, a 1992 Honda Civic EG was found in Canada by a Honda aficionado, and it is as close as it gets to a low-mileage example.
The car has a 7-mile (12 km) odometer reading, which is possibly the lowest there is in a Honda Civic EG in the entire world. This makes it more suitable as a museum piece rather than a daily driver. Furthermore, the red hatchback’s VIN ends in 0001, meaning it is the first EG that came out of the production line at Honda’s Alliston plant in Ontario, Canada.
The rare find was showcased in a YouTube video by HondaPro Jason and belongs to Dylan Sharpe, who is a big fan of Honda and Acura models. According to the owner, the vehicle spent a lot of time in a Honda training facility, which explains why it wasn’t driven at all. At the time of purchase, it still had the original oil in the engine and came with factory markings on the underpinnings, which is a common sign of early production vehicles.
Trim Level
As noted in the video, the DX trim was the entry-level Civic variant for that model year in Canada, which didn’t get the even more spartan CX that was available in the US. The base-spec Civic came standard with power steering but lacked amenities like air conditioning and a passenger mirror. Still, we doubt that this is going to put off prospective buyers who will be willing to pay large amounts of money for this time capsule.
Engine Specifications
For those wondering, under the bonnet of the 1992 Honda Civic lies a naturally-aspirated 16-valve 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 102 hp (76 kW / 103 PS), mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Predictably, the underpinnings remain in pristine condition, as with the bodywork and the interior.
Selling the Unique Model
Dylan Sharp, who goes under the name @sharperacingofficial on Instagram, says that he would consider selling the unique model if he gets the right offer. In any case, chances are that this Civic won’t see its mileage increase in the near future.
