Olly meets up with the man behind the design of the Type R EP3, Julian Thomson. Julian has his very own Honda Civic Type R EP3 as he tries to employ the philosophy of “Drive what you design” and in this video, we discuss the design process as well as the the final design shape. Julian is a huge fan of the hot hatch, owning many others over the years including a Renault 5 Turbo GT, Golf GTi, Ford XR2i. Nowadays the FL5 Civic Type R that his wife owns as the current daily is welcome alongside a Clio 182, a Lotus Elise (that he also designed) and many more cars in the fleet.

shoulda asked him why he put carpets in the rear arches and didn’t put any rust protection on it 🤣🤣

[@DavesInHisGarage]

What an absolute legend, by far the best car I've owned and still almost 6 years down the line, I'm still not bored of it, I always turn and look back thinking it's such a good looking car 👌

The peak of EP3 content ❤

ive loved my EP3 since i bought it in 2014. its a 2002 in Milano Red. Ive swapped in a K20A2 / 6 speed to try and capture a bit of the Type R essence a few years back and its a joy to drive. It has been showing its age but i still love it dearly. Very cool to see the man who designed it and hear his story. 👍👍

[@kaelillo]

Great video, would like to see more of him and his collection. He has great taste in cars too, I own/owned most of them

[@jwrx7tt01]

Great video keen to see his impression of a standard ep3

[@pentium212]

Very interesting interview. It is a design which has aged unusually well. It’s also a model which has been modified perhaps more than any other, which is why it took me 3 years to find one in original condition.

[@gambit_toys6554]
