Japanese classics experienced a particularly large spike, and while prices have mostly cooled over the past couple of years, a 1998 Honda Civic Type R on Bring a Trailer has triggered a bidding war that’s seen its price reach modern hot hatch territory.

Wireless smartphone charging has been added along with an auto-dimming rearview mirror. You can have the car in your choice of Championship White, Crystal Black Pearl, Frame Red, Racing Blue Pearl, or Sonic Gray Pearl, but the latter costs an additional ¥38,500, which translates to $244 in American money.

One of the Honda Civic Type R’s signature treatments is the all-red interior. From the bucket seats to the carpet, there’s a lot of red. But maybe it doesn’t have to be that way, as Honda just revealed a “Racing Black Package” for the Type R in Japan that swaps red for black.

In most of the world, Honda will sell you a Civic Type R with any color seats you want, as long as it’s bright red. And ya know what? Good. We need more fun in the world and red seats are fun, especially in a car as thrilling as the Civic Type R.
