Sorry for the confusion, I got mixed up with mine and not 1995. Was looking at the Docs the other day it's a late 94 though as it was registered 25/11/1994
If yours is a mint Samba Green, I take it you got the one from ebay end of summer like Sept time a year or so ago from Leicestershire, CRX plate on it and the TT roof?
I was looking at finding something small, mega on fuel and thinking about small cars one night, just though about these old CRX, always fancied a Convertible, so straight on ebay to see what price they going for and I was going to look for a Samba Green, that was the first one I saw, couldn't believe it really, though it was too mint for me, as I don't have a Garage, but typically going for more than I wanted to pay and typical as it was only a few mile from me, not saying it was too much as it was a beauty, after seeing that one, I made my mind up it had to be Samba Green, not mint but half decent, wanted VTI and had to be TT roof, Really hoping for the polished alloys like that had and Remote locking Alarm.
Kept looking for months, no decent Samba ones coming up, but then my HR-V was having trouble, so after the garage confirmed mine was big ends shot, I'd been watching this one already and it was ending about an hour after I picked my poor HR-V up, needing a car for work at the weekend, I slapped a bid on it and won it for £770 which I was happy with, ok it was the Samba, but it was Paradise Green, so still a nice colour. Guy didn't really give much of a description, but If I got there and it was a shed I'd just walk away. But I did well. It's pretty clean, bonnet and wing has bad paint, but I know why at least. It has the shiny VTI wheels. the roof didn't work which helps with getting it cheaper and only a broken wire. Got every MOT apart from 2 I think, pile of paperwork all from Honda Garages down south. Had a new Bonnet, Bumper and headlight, all genuine parts at least. so little bump back in early 2000's. had lots of maintenance work done like clutch slave, brakes, roof repairs, exhaust, repairs
Mostly has full Honda Service history, done the 55,000 mile in the first 4 years and only done under or over 1000 mile a year, solid underneath, straight through mot last year, really good solid car that just needs abit of paint work to make it mint. still only 85k
I was so tempted to bid on the last Samba Green VTI a few month back on ebay, bit rusty in places and lot more miles, but I love that colour, one I have is just to nice to get rid of though and change for worse one
