Models that came in Championship White

Listed for these models in Japanese catalogue colour listings. Not every colour was offered for every year or trim.

Other Honda models outside our model library used NH0 too.

Has a NH0 car been resprayed?

  1. Find the model plate and read the code. On a plate or sticker in the engine bay or on the driver’s door pillar, often printed with a hyphen, as in NH-0 or R-81. Type it with or without the hyphen. If it says NH0, the car left the factory in Championship White.
  2. Check the V5C. For Championship White it should say WHITE or CREAM. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
  3. Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as white and usually prints the code. A sheet that says one colour with a code for another means the car was painted before it was sold in Japan. Our auction sheet translator flags that.
  4. Look for the old colour where a respray rarely reaches: the engine bay, door shuts, inside the boot lid and fuel flap, and under rubber seals.

The DVLA records a basic colour, not the paint name, so a car still in its factory Championship White should be registered as WHITE or CREAM. Anything else suggests it has been painted a new colour, and the keeper should have told the DVLA.
