About the 1999 Honda Vamos

Because the engine sits beneath the floor rather than ahead of the driver, the Vamos cabin is unusually roomy for its footprint. The Vamos is Honda's passenger-bodied take on the Acty platform — the same mid-engine kei mechanicals under a van body with proper seating. Honda built the Vamos from 1999, keeping the engine under the floor so the cabin could stay flat and open.

What a Vamos is good for

A closed body keeps the load dry and locked, which is the trade you make against the open bed of the truck version. This 1999 Vamos spent its working life on Japanese registration, where a light goods vehicle faces its first statutory shaken inspection at two years and another every two years after that. The asking price is $5,350.
