The 1997 Acty in context

Honda built the Acty from 1977 until April 2021, taking over from the TN series and, before that, the T360 of 1963 — the model that had put Honda into four-wheeled production in the first place. Honda's four-wheel-drive Actys use an on-demand Real Time system built around a viscous coupling, so drive goes rearward when it is needed rather than when the driver remembers to select it. Because Honda kept the Acty mid-engined throughout, the E07A in this one sits behind the seats and under the deck rather than beneath them — every rival put its engine under the seat or at the very back.

Buying this 1997 Acty Van

Recorded as a 4-seater, so it carries people as well as cargo. A 1997 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold. Price on this one is $5,120.
