Hi Rich11,

Yes, thats correct they restarted the serial numbers with the new model, and looking at your R number I looks like they have made quite a few since I bought mine a year a ago.

Hi Jabber............ thought as much as a client mentioned his son has got the previous model and his number was up in the 5000's . Its nice to get this confirmed. Have you had any major problems within the last year ?

No nothing the car have been a dream. The only issue I had was some **** dinked my drivers side really badly (I suspect that it was deliberate), but Honda Cannock arranged for someone to push it back out for free (as I had only just got the car from them). The only work I have had done on it was warranty work for the door lock, hand brake and the 3rd gear and of course a service at Honda Wolverhampton who did a superb job.

I suppose the only real problem so far has been the soft paint, picking up stone chips easily, but a little TLC had kept that under control.

1 year on and I still get out of the car grinning like a complete idiot and love every moment of driving it!

There were over 36,000 of the EP3 made just makes you wonder how many of the FN2 will be made.

The one you talk about in your second comment must have been an early EP3 pre facelift

Hi Angie....................... yes it was that model

R-2 · 29th May 2008, 22:36

My EP3 was numbered in the 30000s and was registered in 2004 so only another 6000 made up to 2007 if Angie is correct.

At 10581 this one is a baby
