Why is that they appear to be so rare?
Did no one really spec up Preludes when purchased originally?
How much did Honda charge at the time?
If I had to I would have seriously contemplated £300 or more for them...
Yet...
You can't see them when the doors are closed.
It's not something that outwardly, nor inwardly, changes the aesthetic of the car, (at least not when the doors are closed).
It's something the driver and passenger only see when entering and exiting the vehicle.
But, I completely understand simonc for wanting this added extra.
p.s. with a lude as stunning as simonc I can understand even more

I know you think I'm bonkers but it's just something that would really please me. I know the going rate for them and that's why that offer is on the table however, they must be minty fresh, that's my only stipulation.
I was worrying about this all of yesterday, even though I was being bored witless by a client, that I don't want any falling out over what we consider mint. To be frank, this all started after seeing the ones that Samiya (Have I spelt that correctly) sold a week or so ago. That gentlemen, is what I'm looking for. That kind of condition which, in my opinion, is the mintiness I seek.
I guess this 'wanted' ad can remain up as a passive post, in the hope that one day, it'll be spotted and someone will have a pair and want to part with them.
The offer guys, is deadly serious.

You can sell yours for £300 Nits and then buy mine for £200 (They're not quite mint enough to sell to Si)
