The Carchive- Video Edition: The 1982 JDM Honda City

IMAG2549
It’s time to get the coastguard on high alert as we clamber into our inadequate inflatable dinghy and set out in the violent swells of motoring history, in the hope that we might find something interesting floating between the relentless white horses. Welcome to The Carchive.
Take the jump to endure another slice of Carchive Video as we pore over the colourful pages of the Japanese market Honda City brochure. It’s a volume containing only the occasional English word, so let’s go through it together and see what we find.

(All video is of original manufacturer publicity material, recorded by (and starring) Me, Chris Haining, the Copyright holder of the video and the excruciating intro jingle. The actual brochure copyright is retained by Honda Motor Co. Stay tuned for the Motocompo)

    We still see a few of these running around in NZ, both the made in NZ model and second hand JDM models including the Cabrio and Turbo. The Cabrio was engineered by Pininfarina who also engineered the similar size Peugeot 205 Cabrio at the same time
