Description

A very reluctant sale of my much-loved and one of a kind Honda CR-X Del Sol ESi TransTop, finished in stunning Paradise Blue-Green. A very rare and unique example that could make an excellent future classic/investment. This is a genuine UK-market 1997 car, making it one of the last Del Sols produced. I have owned it for nearly 6 years, since I was 16. It was my first car and has been cherished throughout my ownership, regularly attending car meets and being part of the DelSolUK owners’ club. I will be very sad to see it go. Powered by the excellent and reliable D16Y8 engine with 5-speed manual gearbox. The engine remains completely original and the car drives beautifully. It has full service history with original books/documentation and will be supplied with a fresh service and new MOT. The Paradise Blue-Green paint looks incredible in the sun. It has received a full respray during my ownership. Very clean wheel arches, tidy underneath and a gorgeous, very presentable interior. Roof seals in great condition, maintained with Shin-Etsu grease. The car could easily be returned to a more original specification if desired. The factory electric TransTop works great and always attracts attention. It has recently been serviced, including replacement tilter motor and cable. Also features the brilliant electric retractable rear window. Recent maintenance includes: new battery, new spark plugs/service, recent timing belt & water pump, recent tyres, suspension bushes, rear control arms and full respray etc. Tasteful but light modifications include 16” BBS replica alloys, full custom exhaust system which sounds fantastic, Type R-style front lip, lowering springs, Bluetooth stereo and upgraded JBL speakers. Factory equipment includes electric TransTop, electric rear window, electric windows & mirrors, power steering, ABS, immobiliser, colour-coded seat trim etc. This is a genuinely special, increasingly rare 90s Honda, incredibly fun and gets attention everywhere it goes. Must be seen to be appreciated.
