The SB1/SG/SE/VB Series Civic was built from 1972 to 1979. This Civic Hatchback was built in 1974. It has a 1,169cc inline 4 engine.
I've set myself an ambitious target, and that is to unearth all of Japan's rusting, nostalgic gems. It's not going to be easy. They're shy creatures and prefer to remain hidden. And, limited time and funds mean they're likely to stay that way, which would be not cool!<More>
