Overview of Honda Pininfarina-Designed City Cabriolet

Item Details

Honda Pininfarina-Designed City Cabriolet - Offered Without Reserve - Body by Pininfarina, one of the great body designers | Rare right-hand drive JDM import | Attractive interior | Limited production run with five-speed manual transmission - Carbureted 1.2-litre “Combax” CVCC II inline four engine, 60 HP, front-wheel drive, five-speed manual transmission; wheelbase: 87.4”


Designed by world renowned Pininfarina, the Honda City Cabriolet was introduced in 1984 as a drop-top cabriolet and was the first of its kind built and sold in Japan. Exclusively built for Japan, the Cabriolet was a right-hand drive car that came equipped with an automatic, or rare five-speed manual, transmission. Though its styling is nothing that will keep you captivated, the coach builder is one to be amazed by. Pininfarina is an Italian car designer and coachbuilder that is best known for its partnership with Ferrari. Pininfarina has been responsible for beautiful bodies and coachbuilding for Ferrari since 1951, and many Alfa Romeos, Lancias, and Maseratis. Known to take on projects that are quite different than the normal cars it does, Pininfarina teamed up with Honda and designed and built the bodies for these microscopic City Cabriolets. A rare and odd task for one of the greatest coachbuilders the world has seen, but one that adds rarity to this vehicle.

This three-year-production-run Cabriolet offered here is highly uncommon. The exterior has seen better days, as the clearcoat is peeling and the paint itself looks like it has been baked in the sun. However, the interior, featuring its right-hand drive seat, is in excellent condition, appearing to have only seen light use. The odometer reads 93,675 miles, though true miles cannot be confirmed, and features a carbureted 1.2-litre “Combax” CVCC II inline four that produces 60 horsepower to the front wheels. Many of these Hondas came with an automatic transmission but this one comes factory equipped with a five-speed manual transmission.

While the Pininfarina-designed City Cabriolets were exclusively for Japan, the few that did get imported to the United States were mainly sent to the West Coast, making them hard to find in the Midwest. While it is certainly no Ferrari, the fact that Pininfarina designed the bodies adds a distinction that says they were designed by one of the greatest coachbuilders the world has seen; a seldom seen and enticing opportunity to acquire a JDM vehicle.
