1991 Honda CRX

Highlights

  • One family ownership since new
  • Left-hand drive, imported from Europe and registered in the UK in 2012
  • Regularly serviced, with the most recent major service in 2021
  • Only 200 miles driven in the past 3 years

The Appeal

It's a rare enthusiast that doesn't love - or at least have affection for - the CRX. Honda's speciality in this era was very much rev-hungry, nimble sports cars that were small but fun and exciting - and this was a superb ambassador for the company's philosophy. Solidly engineered, the CRX has become highly desirable and still manages to charm a new generation of drives.
This particular example has been in the same family since new, and to our eyes, looks to be a particularly cosseted example The car is a left-hand drive, originally for the European market. Arriving in the UK in 2012, it's always been in the same family - how's that for an heirloom? - And will no doubt bring plenty of joy to the lucky new owner.
