Nice purchase,
wheels need to go, they look like they're from an episode of pimp my ride.
needs to be repainted in patina/shop truck/surf truck in pastel colours or cab upper half cream to break it up a bit
how rusty is it Jim ?
also "DELIVERED" ?
Itch I never scratched the CRX, if only there was a time machine back to the Nineties,
I bought my XR2i instead, the local salvage yard had a CRX, a Clio Valver and a rotten XR2I (all 6 years old) and I chose the ford, WHAT A BELLEND !
Another rare 90's gem

It must be the fact thats its a left hooker putting people off, I reckon 80's/90's JDM stuff is going to really start to appreciate over the next few years and start to catch up to classic Ford prices
Rare to find one that isn't rotten
this 24k mile fresh import seems reasonably priced at £9k

Current MoT Fee is for a class 4 £54.85, yet the smaller one man garages charge on average £38 so there is plenty of scope to cover the cost by charging the recommended amount.

Cameras will record and store 4 weeks of logged on testing time, the data will be checked for anomalies and can be used in appeals, it won't be live monitored unless certain trigger points are hit or the test station is under investigation.
It's not hard to pass a test conducted properly...
Equipment will only have to upgraded when new stuff is installed for the next few years, then it'll become mandatory to have it by 2025 ish , Halfords and kwik fit are upgrading regardless.
the problem is the amount of dodgy tests carried out is increasing year on year, so it was inevitable...
