The current Honda Civic Type R is a fantastic car we love it here at TG. However, a recent browse through the classifieds has left us pretty lost for words. That"s because, if auction estimates are to be believed, you could buy both of the cars you see in the images above for the same price as a new Type R. With their mighty 2.0-litre engines and clever 4WD systems, both the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen and the Subaru Impreza P1 were born in the world of rallying, and barely toned down for the road. Let"s start with the Makinen, which has to be one of the coolest special editions ever produced - celebrating Tommi"s four WRC titles. The white indicators on this car tell us that it"s a Japanese import (UK cars came with orange only) but thankfully it"s in that iconic Passion Red with all the necessary decals. It was brought over in 2017 and currently has just over 56,000 miles on the clock really not that many given that it"s now 19 years old. The estimate? Between 15,000 - 20,000.
