The "Gent" part next to one of the bar codes refers to one of Honda's logistical centers I think (they have seven in Europe). Before ordering the Civic, my dealer checked availability for an FR-V (which I wanted originally) and told me that all their stock was sourced from Gent.

Excellent and useful information though.

Not to be pedantic, but the accord isn't built in Swindon. They all have a jh chassis no.

Sorry

Martin, current Accord is built in Japan. Previous Accord was built in Swindon. MC Hammer is correct.
