1995 Honda Acty Van#BUC97540

Our stock includes this 1995 Honda Acty Van, finished in Blue — a right-hand-drive Japanese import. Its model code is recorded as V-HH3, which makes it a HH3 chassis, and drive is two-wheel drive.

Background: the Acty Van

Getting 200kg of rated payload out of a mid-engined layout is harder than doing it with the engine under the seats, and Honda did it anyway. Honda aimed the Acty at agriculture and forestry — its "Attack" grade was explicitly a farming model, with creeper gears and a rear differential lock as standard. The HH3 code marks this 1995 Acty Van as a second-generation Acty, the run Honda built from 1990 to 1999.

1995 Honda Acty Van: engine, gearbox and running gear

Under it is the E07A, a 660cc engine. Honda built the E07A oversquare — a 66.0mm bore against a 64.0mm stroke — which is why it would rather rev than lug. Behind the Blue bodywork sits an automatic gearbox.

Acty Van: size and capacity

On the paperwork it measures 330cm × 140cm × 188cm. The documents give a kerb weight of 860kg, a rated load capacity of 200kg and 8.68m³ of measured cargo volume. Recorded as Kei van, Vans with seating for 4, model year 1995. Carrying 200kg on a 860kg kerb weight is the kind of ratio that only comes from designing the whole vehicle around the load.

Recorded condition of this 1995 Acty Van

The odometer reads 67500 km and the listing records a condition of used.

Where an Acty Van earns its keep

A closed body keeps the load dry and locked, which is the trade you make against the open bed of the truck version. Built in 1995, this Acty Van is 31 years old and clears the 25-year threshold at which imported vehicles are exempt from US federal motor vehicle safety standards conformity.
