Honda Civic 1.5i 1985

Allmän beskrivning : Model History

The Honda CRX, originally launched as the Honda Ballade Sports CRX in Japan, was a front-wheel-drive compact car manufactured by Honda between 1983 and 1991. Although there are many supposed definitions for the acronym CRX, the most widely accepted is “Civic Renaissance Experimental”.

The first CRX (type AF) was an inexpensive sports coupe based on the Civic that was first presented at the IAA in Frankfurt in September 1983. Its low curb weight of approximately 835kg was achieved by, among other things, the fact that the outer skin consisted of 38% plastic, more specifically HPA (Honda Polymer Alloy) and Polypropylene. Additionally, the engine was made of light alloy.

The European CRX was equipped with a four cylinder fuel-injected engine with 12 valves and an overhead camshaft. The computer-controlled Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) with its self-diagnosis system was sequentially controlled by the opening time of the intake valves and by eight sensors. It was an intermittent injection system with an intake manifold pressure sensor that was originally developed for Formula 1.

The car had comparatively large doors and a rigid torsion crank axle with drum brakes at the rear. At the front the vehicle had independent suspension on shock absorber struts with wishbones, torsion bars, and ventilated disc brakes. The associated torsion bar springs could easily be adjusted in a workshop to lower the front of the vehicle by up to six centimeters. The rack and pinion steering was smooth and very direct.

Equipment

Polar White paintwork, Blue velour upholstery, 5-speed manual gearbox, 13-inch alloy wheels, Front chin spoiler, Rear spoiler, Electric sunroof, National cassette radio, Three-spoke steering wheel, Quartz digital clock, Folding rear seat, Front disc brakes, Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), Tailored carpet mats, Alloy spare wheel, Spare key, Immobiliser, Supplying dealer rear window sticker.

Exterior

This super low mileage first gen CRX presents beautifully in glossy Polar White. The paintwork is near immaculate throughout and has recently been treated by the current owner to a full ceramic coating. Looking closer, the contrasting lower panels and bumpers are amazingly well preserved with no unsightly sun damage or fading to report. Similarly, all trims and seals retain an excellent factory finish having never been allowed to dry out or perish – even the rear spoiler still presents like new. The badges are also in super condition, as are the lights, which are free from any cracks or signs of moisture ingress. All in all, a surely unrepeatable example having clearly been cherished since new.

Interior

With its unworn velour bucket seats, original tape deck and overall pristine appearance, the interior space is a real treat for the enthusiast. The condition is truly age-defying throughout, with commonly worn items such as the steering wheel and gearknob showing almost no signs of any wear. The herringbone upholstery has never faded or discoloured, with the amazing condition of the bolsters hinting at only the lightest of use. Everything works exactly as it should, including the electric sunroof, and in the footwells the carpets are well protected by a set of tailored overmats. The generous boot area is also remarkably clean, still housing the spare wheel, jack and tool roll beneath the floor.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The CRX’s 1.5-litre engine is a revvy little number. With three valves per cylinder and Honda’s PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection) it punches out a respectable 99hp, enough to shift the car from 0-60mph in under 9 seconds. The engine bay of this particular example is extremely clean and tidy, with no signs of any damage or previous poor repair to speak of – even some of the protective factory wax can still be seen. The last service was carried out at 30,900 miles and included a timing belt change.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The CRX sits on its original 13-inch alloys, all in perfect unmarked condition. The wheels are shod in a matching set of Uniroyal tyres, all with between 5-6mm of tread remaining. The brakes have also been checked and remain in fine operational condition, bringing the car to a halt quickly and in a straight line.

History File

This exemplary CRX was supplied new in November 1985 by Lester Honda of Chadwell Heath whose original rear window sticker and number plate can still be found. The car has now driven just 34k miles in the hands of five owners. The History File is complete with the original Honda document wallet, owner’s manual, service booklet, spare key, original sales brochure, and a raft of previous MOT certificates verifying the car’s super low mileage. The last service was carried less than 4k miles ago and included a timing belt change. A fresh service will be carried out prior to sale for the new keeper’s peace of mind.
