This Honda CRX got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1992 Honda CR-X del Sol SiR is a TransTop-equipped example that reportedly was imported from Japan two years ago by Duncan Imports & Classics of Christiansburg, Virginia and acquired by the seller soon after. Now showing 24k kilometers (~15k miles), the car is finished in Captiva Blue Pearl and powered by a 1.6-liter VTEC inline-four paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The cabin is upholstered in patterned gray cloth, and additional equipment includes air conditioning, an aftermarket Sony cassette player, and 15″ wheels sourced from a later Honda. Service under current ownership is said to have included a brake job and an oil change. This right-hand-drive EG del Sol SiR is now offered in South Carolina with a clean Florida title.

The factory steering wheel sits ahead of Japanese-market instrumentation that includes a 180-km/h speedometer, a 9k-rpm tachometer, and a six-digit odometer said to show 24k kilometers (~15k miles), of which the seller has added approximately 5k kilometers. The TransTop is actuated with a switch above the gauge cluster.
