The Appeal
A Honda CR-X is the perfect antidote to modern motoring. It’s everything today’s performance cars aren’t: small, light, and naturally aspirated. As a result, they’re brilliant to drive; certainly one of the greatest front-wheel-drive cars ever made. Unsurprisingly, well-kept CR-Xs are highly sought after, and this 1991 example is surely among the best money can buy.
It’s the coveted JDM CR-X SiR in right-hand-drive, with warranted 113,395 km backed up by the Japanese service history. The Honda was imported to the UK in 2018 and has since found its way to Ireland where it is now road registered. The car remains pleasingly standard apart from a handful of tasteful (and easily reversible) modifications like Rays Japanese racing wheels and a Momo steering wheel.
As the photographs attest, the CR-X presents impeccably throughout.. It’s hard to believe this is now a 34-year-old car! We’re sure it will be of great interest to Honda collectors and enthusiasts the world over, so be sure not to miss this excellent opportunity.
