Another old Honda of mine :-) Like my other 80th Accord Sedan : it's cute. To drive it is a habit. Small and agile. I like it.

 

It is all over original and was never welded before. That makes it more likable for me. In 2006 there were just around 180 such type of car registered in Germany (Hatchback)

It has the 80 HP, 1.6 liter engine, like the most other Honda that time, power antenna, power steering and the bord computer which indicates broken break lamp and not closed doors..

In August 2008 we moved our collection into another (new) barn. One way was 330 kilometers (app. 260 miles). Therefor we had to carry a bunch of spareparts and - of cause - the cars. The old Honda and some Beetles. On one weekend we moved only the Honda and it took the whole weekend. We sleept around 4 hours on two days. Stress but it had to be done ;)

Nice collection! Thanks for the comment by the way... I must agree, most of the time where there is a Beetle there is bound to be a Honda close by :)

Hey Christian, Thanks for the nice comment over on my Country Squire page! One of my first cars was a '79 Accord LX 5 Speed, silver too, and it had about 23,000 miles on it when I got it used in '81. I drove that car all over the United States, to California twice and up into Canada once. It had to be one of the best cars I've ever owned and wish I still had it too! I did trade it in on a brand new Thunderbird Turbo Coupe in '86 and it had about 146,000 miles on it. I never had the Honda in the shop for anything except routine maint and it still had the original brakes on the rear and the clutch too. It was an incredible little car! I'd like to find another old Honda sometime and I keep my eye out for nice ones on the internet all the time. Maybe a Prelude, Accord or Civic but they are very hard to find in nice shape. Take Care, Clark Griswold
