EP3 How Many EP3 Type R's

Pretty patterns

Thanks for your posts on this, everyone.

Looks like there's a reasonable pattern to it, but I agree that the numbers won't be exactly consecutive with build or VIN, as the centre consoles (with serial plate attached) will probably be taken from a holding bin in the factory. Just In Time manufacturing processes ensure they don't have 42,000 centre consoles sitting there from day one...

As a further source of info on Typre-R serial numbers, I found a website http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/reg.htm with a Civic Type-R registry (gives serial number, colour, but not date). Looks like it hasn't been updated since 2004, but it shows the 30th Anniversary cars were all around the 21,000 mark.

The overall question of why there are ~42,000 serial numbers and a claimed build of 35,190 cars remains a mystery...
 
Would be good if you could get near enough all the type r's on there, but i think that might be asking too much :lol:
 
Hello , I'm the owner of a Honda Civic EP3 2005 serial number R42681 . If anyone knows how this is possible ?. I read a lot of information that Honda was produced with a circulation of 35190 copies. why do I have such a high number?

Greetings from Poland :)
 
Numbers weren't in order and we're picked out of a parts basket at random.
