Description
Recently imported from Japan. This car is an unmodified one owner car with only 40,000 km (25,000 miles) on the odometer. There is a small tear in the drivers side seat but other than that the car is in pristine condition, both cosmetically and mechanically. Super fun to drive and ready to go for the summer! Asking $9000 OBO. ...
Our Take:
- Rarity and Obscureness: The Honda Beat is a true gem for kei car enthusiasts; it's a rare find, particularly in markets outside Japan since it was never officially exported. Produced between 1991 and 1996, this model comes with all the charm and quirkiness you'd expect from a classic '90s Japanese micro sports car.
- Historical Significance: The Beat is one of the last cars approved by Soichiro Honda himself, adding a layer of sentimental value. With its mid-engine layout and rear-wheel drive, it stands out in the kei car category – offering a dynamic driving experience that belies its small stature.
- Technical Details: While this Beat comes with an automatic transmission, true to its nature, it sports a 656 cc three-cylinder engine with an impressive 63 horsepower – the maximum allowed for kei cars at the time. It revs up to a lively 8,500 RPM, which makes for an exhilarating drive, especially when you want to feel the wind in your hair with its soft-top down.
- Condition and Appeal: With only 40,000 km on the odometer and just one previous owner, this unmodified Beat offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive history in almost original condition. The small tear in the driver's seat is a minor blemish on an otherwise meticulously maintained car. If you're after a delightful ride that turns heads and starts conversations, this Honda Beat is a perfect choice.
