Well, based on the front bumper cover, it appears as a EvO9

A few more pics would help (engine, rear trunk & wing etc, interior, VIN)

Any more questions, let us know

Cheers

Well, the front seats are EvO9 & the valve cover appears to have the MIVEC logo but the pic is not too clear

There looks like there maybe some gauges below the HVAC knobs which may indicate thats its the MR model. If there was a good roof pic that would be another sign that its an MR (alum roof vs non MR steel roof)

She is beat up but nothing that cant be fixed for a few Quid

I agree based on the reverse trigger on the shifter

It has a collar on the shifter which indicates it's the 6 Speed, it's very unusual to see a 6spd swapped to a GSR or something so I think it's a fair bet it's an MR. I can baaaarely make out the "Mivec Turbo" on the valve cover so it's a safe bet it's an IX.

Edit: we replied at the same time haha

Well, it has most of trappings of an EvO9 MR but dont think there were any styling cues for the FQ series (IIRC)

Based on the EvOs condition, does it really matter if its an FQ series? Maybe that adds some value in your country?

If the mechanicals are decent & you can pick this up on a discount, you may have a good project on your hands
