For sale in the Netherlands: a (the!) real Mk1. 1985.
What a beauty! Only 84,000 km. (52000 mi) on the odometer, €3.995 (£ 3455).

That looks in remarkable condition.  8) What a find. Don't think I've ever seen one on UK roads.

Love the front, the grill with its H badge to theright and little round headlamps. The wheel arches are very of their time, nice design. Red stipes in the bumpers, very sporty. Proper steel wheels and plastic protection strips on the side too. Cool little car.

A bit of a shame that the driver's seat is damaged (by the seat belt?). But other than that it looks great.

I hadn't seen that. Be very tricky indeed getting that replaced or repaired.

Looking at the photos again, I notice more things. Roof gutters. Remember those? And look, only one side door mirror. Those were the days. 2 spoke steering wheel, little spindly gear lever...... yep, very cool little motor.

I wonder if it was a 5 speed? Rev counter if you were lucky. Got head rests and a rear wash wipe, so not the full poverty spec.

Come on Jazzik, get it bought.  8) We'll get a new area of the forum set up for it!

I am Dutch but live in Poland. Export/Import is not my hobby :(
And buy this cute little Mk1 as a replacement for our Mk4 Mk5? My wife won't agree...
I assume there will be a Dutch enthusiast...

I've always liked that 80's Jazz! That was really handy. And it was available with Hondamatic as well.

A modern version of this with full electric power would make a lot of sense as a local runabout or city car. Jazz has got bigger over the years and something this size is missing in the current lineup.

It has a very distinctive Honda '80s design look about it. If you took all the H badges off it I think I could still guess it was a Honda. I quite like it.
