(Help Me) Ronda? Yes, it’s a Rover Honda.
Today’s feature is a Rover 216SE, falsely advertised as a 316. Why is this a Ronda? It’s because this is essentially a rebadged Honda Ballade, which, in turn, was a slightly fancier Honda Civic. If a Sterling is too common for you, this Rover 216 should do the trick.

Three-Wheeled, Leaning Scooter: Honda Gyro NN50
Honda made a whole series of three-wheeled, leaning scooters in the early- to mid-1980s, but only a few variants made it to the US and only for about three years. This NN50 is arguably the sportiest model, though it is powered by a 50cc gas engine. The idea here is you gain traction and stability…

1997 Civic Camper Trailer Conversion
If you always wanted a camper, but all you have is a car with significant front-end damage, this could serve as inspiration. Apparently, however, the seller sought this out and bought thise Civic in pre-wrecked condition.

Former Lane Motor Museum Push-Me-Pull-You 1979 Honda Civic!
How do we know this came from the Lane? We’ve seen it in the basement! Also, anything this weird in Nashville probably has something to do with Lane. So, what is it? It’s two front halves of 1979 Honda Civics grafted together, resulting in two driver’s seats, side-by-side and facing opposite directions. As clearly noted…

1971 Honda Vamos
Here’s one we’d never heard of! The Vamos was based on Honda’s mini-truck, the TN360, and was a mini-Jeep competitor (think Suzuki). The interwebs consistently indicate that about 2,500 of these were built; so this is rare outside the Lane Motor Museum (surely they have one). The seller of our subject unit provides almost no…

Cushman Trike with Honda Goldwing Power
This trike probably started like as an industrial vehicle, but now it’s a seriously overpowered golf cart. The engine is a 1.5 liter flat six from a Honda Goldwing motorcycle. Yes, that’s the car-sized cruiser bike with all the tail pipes which is very popular with Baby Boomers There isn’t too much else to say…

Zombie Apocalypse Honda Civic
Here was have a 2004 Honda Civic EX with some interesting mod choices. Was it modified for night rallies? We say no, as the roof rack makes no sense. So, we must assume this was inspired by the Hyundai Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine. Too bad the tire/wheel choice won’t make for good off-roading. Underneath…

1989 Honda CRX Convertible
Honda never made one; but that didn’t stop someone else. The seller provides shockingly little detail and no interior photos, but the ad does indicate a manual trans is present. Mileage is unknown, but the seller says the car runs and drives well and that several maintenance receipts are available. We’re interested in structural rigidity,…

One Pic Wonder: 1985 Honda Accord Limousine
Yes, indeed, it’s a 1980s Accord limo! We’re curious about the interior, but the seller has denied us photos. Apparently, a company in Canoga Park, CA converted several of these, though we don’t know why. This one appears to have many needs; so it will be a special someone who decides to buy this and…

You can’t Beat this Honda with a Stick
Yes, this is a rare (especially outside Japan) Honda Beat Kei Car. This little beast has a 0.7L, three cylinder engine and weighs just about nothing. 0-60 wasn’t impressive by today’s standards, due primarily to a lack of torque, but we imagine this would be amazingly fun to drive. The seller claims this car is…
