Is there a worse colour for one of these than Weak Custard?

Yes, lots. Any shade of silver or grey for a start. That^^one looks great.

Well the 416 had the Honda engine so I believe so, yes. Honda D16A9, 1.6 twin cam 16v, but no V-TEC. Same engine as they put in the early CRXs before the B16A1 came out.

216/416GSis aren't D16A8/9s, that's the GTi engine. All 416GTis and some but not all 216GTIs have the A8/9 - some 3 door 216GTIs are SOHCs.
A8 has no cat, A9 has a cat iirc. Same otherwise. 130bhp. 

The GSI and lower is D16Z6 - 115bhp single cam 16v. 

The B16 powered CRX and Civic were placed one above the D16A8/9 powered ones, but the D series ones remained available.

Is this an accurate list or just a list of random things they thought should have been doing? Elaborate if true. 2.5k to find out.

This one for those among us who like to walk around with their trousers on their head, wantonly throwing piles of money in all directions. 450 rapidly devaluing pounds

I think that’s why this colour is so rare, because everyone hated it when new.

Ebay ad says the CX is a non runner but the suspension is up high. How is this possible? Blocks of wood?

I was thinking the same, mine is sat on the floor and it is now a runner but I have so far failed to get the suspension to rise. This one does look a good prospect.

Listed on the 30th November, proudly stating that almost a year to the day ago, it managed an MOT with no advisories.

Which of course means absolutely nothing. Stars, runs and drives does not of course mention that HGF that has either happened or is imminent.

£595 is still a lot of money to find out on a Cat C that sounds like it's had a tough life.

(I have a soft spot for P4s, as I recently found out my Grandad had two in the 60's)

Genuine period A suffix registration mark for bonus points too :)

tis always fun when I see them, I bet most people just assume its a replacement mark issued in the 1980's like most A Suffix marks are! :)
