This TB is my car. It is a 1996 dark green Honda Civic del Sol Si (not the same color as pictured). It was number 181 out of 8,489 to roll off the production line at Suzuka, Japan in 1996. Since del Sol's are no longer being manufactured, this is my way of having them rediscovered.

Here is some information about the car:

The Honda del Sol (Spanish for "of the Sun") marked Honda's return to the two-seat sports car after the demise of the CRX in 1991. Available only as a targa top convertible, the Honda del Sol managed to breathe some fun into the Honda lineup before its own demise in 1998. This car was produced internationally between 1992 and 1998, while it was available in the U.S. only between 1993 and 1997. There were less than 75,000 produced in the U.S. Known only as the Honda del Sol in the U.S. after 1994, it went by other names in other countries, including the CR-X del Sol in Japan, and the Civic CRX in Europe.

Throughout its lifetime, the Honda del Sol was offered in several trim packages with varying levels of features and quality. In the U.S., these trims were called the S, Si, and VTEC. These trims went by other names in other countries: VGi/VXi/VTi & SiR in Japan; and ESi & VTi in Europe.

The Honda del Sol became the first US Honda to sport the B16A (DOHC VTEC) engine series when the VTEC trim level was introduced in 1994. This engine would later take the fame as the favorite among amateur import tuners when it was offered for the Honda Civic Si in 1999.
