We have it on file as stock number 470-4, chassis HH3-2335243. There are 3 photographs of this exact vehicle on this page — not stock images of a similar one.

The mechanical side of this Street 2WD

The engine is recorded as the E07A. Honda mounted the E07A amidships under the load bed rather than up front, which keeps the cab floor flat and the weight between the axles. The HH3 runs an automatic gearbox. The engine sits in a mid-engine position in this body. By 1997 the E07A was a thoroughly known quantity, having run in Honda's kei range for years by then. Honda built the E07A oversquare — a 66.0mm bore against a 64.0mm stroke — which is why it would rather rev than lug.

What a Street 2WD is good for

Street 2WDs were bought in Japan for delivery rounds, trade work and mobile services, and the body reflects exactly that brief. At 29 years old, this 1997 Street 2WD is outside the window where federal safety-standard conformity applies to an import. Everything about a kei vehicle follows from the class rules — width, height, displacement and the shape of the cab are all downstream of the same regulation. A closed body keeps the load dry and locked, which is the trade you make against the open bed of the truck version.
