• Unrestored and highly original
• A rare survivor of a once-commonplace machine
• A great little project for recommissioning

Introduced in 1977, the Honda Express met the needs of those seeking a simple machine for local transport and was one of the few machines Honda produced at that time which employed a two-stroke engine – for several years it had been mainly producing four-strokes. The Express was a tiny scooter of just 49cc, envisaged initially for the American market, which was beginning to look to more economical forms of transport as it reeled from the shock of the 1973 oil embargo. Simplicity was another major aspect of its design, as Honda expected many buyers would be entirely new to motorcycles.

This example looks really quite delightful in its original and unrestored state. It has been well preserved, having spent many years in a large private collection where it has been stored in dry conditions. It exhibits a pleasing light patina which is testament, no doubt, to its being well-used during its early life. It’s a fun little machine for local errands and, what with all the talk about the cost of living, a Honda Express perhaps makes more sense today than ever before. Some light recommissioning will naturally be required, but it ought to be quick work with such a simple machine as this. There is no documentation with this lot, although it is reconisged on the DVLA system
