Honda Insight Mk1

Post by jjmartin349571 » Tue Mar 01, 2016 9:12 pm

Hi folks,

As some of you may have seen in another thread, I recently bought a Honda Insight at auction in Japan, with a view to using it as a cheap to run daily driver for Laura.

For anyone who missed it, this was it as I saw it going through the auctions:

It arrived with my agent in Japan today, and some better pictures have been supplied 8-)

I'm looking forward to it arriving, I just hope that the IMA battery survives the long journey overseas!!

I'll try and keep this up to date as events unfold :)

If they come up out there then yes, you'd be surprised by the premium they fetch in Japan though mate! Easily 5x more than they go for here :shock:

The licence plates?? I've been trying to get a set for ages, the exporters won't supply them though as they have to be returned to get the export certificate apparently :(
