..is one of my favourite OEM wheel designs ever.
1985 AT Honda Civic Si, currently for sale at a dealer in Okayama, Japan (Car Shop Chatz) for a
very reasonable ~550,000yen.
It's done a few miles (170,000mi/273,000km) and is marked as repaired, but pah - so
what - it's 30 years old..! Looks to be a fantastically original and
solid car regardless..
Sitting at the top of a five-rung ladder of 1983-87 third-generation Honda Civics, was the Si: the performance variant available as either a hatch or sedan.. and easily identifiable thanks to the offset hump on the bonnet to clear the 135ps/99kw 1.6litre ZC..
Performance hatch/Sedans making for Somewhat more practical variations of the
Ballade Sports CR-X Si...
Blocky little open headrests, front
and rear.. and what look to be fairly-original seat covers, giving high hopes that there's a pair of
very neat seats underneath..
Great looking dashboard and steering wheel, and a shot of the Honda/Alpine cassette-deck..
..and as mentioned above; the twin-cam, 16-valve, 1.6litre ZC four; 135ps likely having no trouble propelling the sub-tonne Civic along!
Done.
A classic performance Civic for not a whole lot of coin. Looks great, something different, and no doubt a blast to drive.
Very cool.
now lets just hope the seat fabric thats already trought the cover is just dirty and not somehow ripped aswell,that would be a shame
ReplyDeleteimho 3rd civic is the best one
Definitely looks buffed-up a little.. but seemingly not worn through. A wash and somewhat-vigorous scrub.. I think it'll be okay..! ;)
