Where the HH3 Acty Van fits

HH3 is the van-bodied, rear-drive member of the second-generation Acty family, sold in Japan both as the Acty Van and, in more decorated form, as the Honda Street. The running gear is the truck's: a 656cc E07A laid flat under the rear floor. Because the engine is behind the passengers rather than beneath them, the cabin floor is flat and the load bay sits low over the rear axle.

Recorded mileage is 46,400, equivalent to roughly 74,700 km in the units the gauge reads. Honda's E07-series triples are small-capacity commercial engines designed for a long duty cycle, and readings in this part of the range are common across the Acty's export population.

The practical side

An Acty van is the truck with a roof over the load bay, and because the engine lies beneath that bay rather than under the cab, the floor is flat from bulkhead to tailgate. Rear drive and an enclosed body make it a dry, lockable, square box on a vehicle you can park anywhere — which is the entire case for a kei van over a kei truck.

The $5,000 to $8,000 band is the heart of the imported van market. For a working vehicle that has to keep tools dry and out of sight, it is the point where supply and specification meet.

How the purchase works

Because it was built in 1997, the federal 25-year exemption applies and the usual FMVSS and EPA conformity requirements fall away. Customs entry, import documentation and title work are all done here, and we arrange transport to any state. There is a walkaround video on this listing alongside the photographs. Asking $5,690.
