Civic Type R to escort King

We roll like royalty.

The New Straits Times tell us that the Type R is fit for the King (in Malaysia). No word on the serial number of the King's new daily - but the article does point out that the Type R is ideal for the track and commuting

"TO commemorate the birthday of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, Honda Malaysia recently presented the monarch a Civic Type R, the world's fastest front-wheel-drive production car."
...
“This model is not only ideal to drive on track but also on the road as a daily commute car. On behalf of Honda Malaysia, I am truly honoured to present the Civic Type R to His Majesty The Yang di-Pertuan Agong for his daily use as an escort car."

that's very cool,,,nice find !

Nice birthday gift

still so weird to see that right side steering wheel. I can't imagine trying to row through the gears with my left hand, being right handed, and shifting that way since I was 16.....

I never thought about that.... are they reversed lol?

they aren't. literally just the side the driver sits and the dash are different. I'm pretty sure the H pattern and pedal arrangement are the same as LHD.
