The seller offers for sale this 1979 Honda Civic, equipped with a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine and manual gearbox. The car recently passed a technical inspection and is valid until September 2027. The Civic starts without hesitation, shows no blue or white smoke when warm, and the engine makes no unusual noises. Mechanically it is in solid condition, benefitting from several new-old-stock components such as alternator, bearings, exhaust, coil and refreshed carburettor with new gasket. The exterior paint was recently renewed and the underside professionally sealed; the seller notes a small stone chip on the bonnet but otherwise no rust. Inside, the Civic presents an original upholstery kept in tidy condition. This five-door model includes seatbelts front and rear for added practicality. This example is described as one of the rarest Civics of its generation due to its originality, low mileage and well preserved condition.
Launched during the 1970s, the Honda Civic became one of the most influential compact cars in the global automotive market. Known for low running costs, responsive handling and durable engineering, early Civics helped establish Honda’s reputation for reliability. Lightweight construction and efficient engines added to the appeal, making the model popular across Europe, Japan and the United States. Today, first-generation and early second-generation Civics attract classic car fans who value simplicity, practicality and dependable mechanical behaviour. Their compact dimensions and clear design make them suitable both as enjoyable weekend classics and as collectible pieces of automotive history.
