Under the skin of a 2000 Vamos

The engine is recorded as the E07Z — 660cc. A 2000 build puts this on the injected E07Z rather than the earlier carburetted engines, which is the practical difference you notice on a cold morning. The 2000 Vamos came with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and that is what this one has.

About the 2000 Honda Vamos

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. Registered for 4, which is the whole reason the Vamos exists alongside the Acty. Because the engine sits beneath the floor rather than ahead of the driver, the Vamos cabin is unusually roomy for its footprint.

Practicalities of this Vamos

Recorded as a 4-seater, so it carries people as well as cargo. This 2000 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.
