Just RM28 could win you a Honda Civic Type R… and it won’t be a 1/48 model. You will be able to get into it and drive it.
One lucky person who buys a ticket (+ another RM28 to qualify for the draw) to the 2nd Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur (TASKL) – November 8 – 10 2024 – will win a MUGEN version of the Honda FK8R Type R. It is powered by a 2-litre VTEC turbocharged engine with 318 bhp/400 Nm, delivered to the front wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission.
Unregistered unit
The car will also come with a Mugen bodykit/rear lamp/gearknob, 20–inch TE37 Rays sports rims and an aftermarket exhaust system. The winner will have to bear the cost of registration, insurance, roadtax, transportation and any other ancillary charges. The good thing is that this car is an unregistered unit (though it is a 2019 unit), so it can have a new number.
The prize is a collaboration between Element X Strategies (Sole Official Licensee of Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur) and The House of Type R.
Winner announced on November 10
The winning ticket will be known by 8 pm on the final day of the event on November 10, 2024. There will be a public draw on stage where the lucky winner will be announced. It is possible that the winner will not be present on that day since the event is over 3 days, so a phone call will be made to the number provided on the entry form.
Three attempts will be made from the venue and if no one answers, the organizer reserves the right to proceed with another draw. So don’t ignore calls from an unknown number on that day!
But having the ticket picked as the winning one is half the lucky draw won – upon answering the call, the winner will then be required to answer 3 simple questions correctly. So remember what you see at the motorshow and some of the details, as well as info about the Type R.
