Lot details Registration No: L757ULW Chassis No: JHMEG21900S103089 Mot Expiry: Feb 2006
A rakish two-seater targa-top convertible, the third generation CRX was introduced to the UK in June 1992. Based - like its coupe predecessors - on a shortened version of the contemporaneous Honda Civic, it featured all-round independent coil and wishbone suspension and rack and pinion steering. Flagship of the range, the VTi version was powered by a 1595cc DOHC four-cylinder engine that incorporated Honda's latest generation of variable valve timing technology. Quoted as developing some 160bhp and 111lbft of torque, this remarkable unit was allied to five-speed manual transmission and reputedly gave the lightweight sportscar the ability to sprint from 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and onto 121mph. Though, the provision of anti-roll bars and four-wheel disc brakes as standard helped keep such performance in check. Earmarked by the Times newspaper last year as a future classic, the CRX convertible has gone onto enjoy something of a cult following since production ceased in 1997.
Finished in rosso corsa with grey upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "truly stunning condition". Wearing a boot spoiler, after-market alloy wheels and a modified exhaust tail-box, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until November 2006.
