Sought-after Japanese-market example, now registered on UK plates
Largely standard specification with yellow Speed coilovers fitted
Garage-kept and regularly started by the current owner
Timing belt, clutch adjustment, and service completed in August 2025
MOT valid until May 2027
The Appeal
The Honda CRX is one of the most celebrated lightweight sports coupés of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Compact, nimble, and powered by Honda's famously keen DOHC VTEC four-cylinder engine, it earned a devoted following for its sharp handling and driver-focused character. Japanese-market examples are particularly sought after by enthusiasts for their specification and provenance.
This 1990 example was imported from Japan and is now registered on UK plates. Showing 144,000 km, it is reported to be largely standard, with the only modification being a set of yellow Speed coilovers. The current owner has kept the car garaged throughout their ownership, starting it every few weeks and taking it for short drives to keep everything in good working order. Minor corrosion is noted around the edges of the opening sunroof panel. With an MOT valid until May 2027, this CRX presents a compelling opportunity for fans of Honda's lightweight two-seater.image.png4.72 MB

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
