Details of the first generation Vamos on display
There is no vehicle other than the first generation Honda Vamos that so aptly describes the phrase “a car that doesn’t exist in modern times.”
The small body has no door or roof, and the only thing that separates the occupants from the outside is the guard bar and the front window instead of the door.
If you drop your eyes from the driver’s seat, you are already on the road, giving a strong presence with avant-garde looks.
The transmission is a 4-speed MT. The engine is an air-cooled 354cc 2-cylinder OHC mounted under the second row driver’s seat. It is unique in that it has what is known as an intermediate layout.
The face is also distinctive, and the design with the spare tire between the headlamps which look like protruding frog eyes, together with the small body, gives a very cute impression.
On the other hand, if you look at the interior, it has a spartan charm that looks like a military car, like unlined bare metal and a dash panel lined with simple gauges.
The individual displayed this time is a vehicle that was displayed at the outdoor event “VEHICLE STYLE” which specializes in vehicles such as cars and motorcycles held in April 2022.
Mr. Ikeda had been looking for “Vamos” for some time, so he decided to buy it on the spot.
In addition to its design, the “Vamos” is an attractive model designed to be a vehicle that can be used not only for leisure but also for work on site.
The slogan was also marketed as “a car with unlimited uses depending on the rider’s imagination.”
Therefore, it features a compact body and it is easy to load and unload luggage, and convenience is followed that can be used anywhere.
However, the avant-garde design of “Vamos” was not well received by consumers at the time, and the production period was only 3 years, and the number of production remained 2,530 units, and there are not many examples present.
In addition, there were three types of “Vamos”: a two-seat model, a four-seat model, and a full holo type with a canopy that covers the entire upper part.
Among them, the production volume of the full holo model is small, and the color of the outer body is original, and the interior has not been touched, so the rarity can be said to be extremely high.
