1972 1973 Honda N600

Highlights

• Rare Japanese micro-car, seldom seen on UK roads
• In current ownership since 2012
• Striking yellow paintwork with a good, even finish

The Appeal

The Honda N600 was one of the first Honda automobiles exported beyond Japan, and is quietly instrumental in cementing the marque's reputation for engineering ingenuity. Intended as a rival for the increasingly dominant Mini, beneath the N600's compact bodywork sits a spirited 599cc twin-cylinder petrol engine, capable of returning around 40 miles per gallon. Encountering one on British roads today is an exceptionally rare event, and one that's well worthy of enthusiasm.

This example has evidently been beautifully restored, with a clean and solid chassis, while the yellow paintwork presents with a good, even finish that suits the car's cheerful character. Having been in the current keeper's care since 2012, this compact little classic has clearly been cherished throughout, and is well deserving of your attention.
