Yeah, I know this isn't an R, but it is a "cousin" from back in the day, and probably just as rare in stock condition. I stumbled across a 100% stock 1989 Pilot with around 1 hour running time. 1 owner who purchased it as a leftover at the end of 1992 with all original paperwork and receipt.
Basically he drained the tank and started it once a year and let it idle for around 20 minutes. It still has the little nubs on the side of all the tires. I was amazed at how clean and nice it is. A few minor scuffs on the fenders from sitting boxes on it and that's about it. Only "mod" is a fishnet like thing around the air snorkle. The battery is new (was taken off the buggy).
I'm almost afraid to even drive it, I would definitely change the tires/rims and put some under carriage/a-arm protectors on first. All I've done is wipe it down with a damp micro fiber towel.
Man Honda made some cool sh## back in the day!!!
