  • Our 1983 Honda City Turbo II sports 86,800 kilometers on the odometer which we believe to be the original mileage given the condition of the vehicle. It was purchased at auction in Japan in mid-2017; arriving in Florida in the fall.
    At auction, this was a grade R car - we typically do not purchase grade Rs, but many cars graded R suffer from only minor defects other than age. Sometimes 20-60% of older vehicles at an auction may be graded R - a few are genuinely rotten apples, but many have only minor defects - like a bumper or panel that was damaged at some point in the past and repainted.
    That was the case here, with the only “damage” being a small spot of bubbling rust on the leading edge of the front fender; as well as minor scuffs and dents.
    Finished in its original factory silver, the paint was refreshed and the small rust spot repaired and repainted. Replacement factory decals were then fitted over the refreshed paint, replacing the faded, time-worn originals removed before work began.
    The car sports a set of rare Volk Racing turbofan wheels, which is what first attracted our attention to the car despite its auction grade. The wheels were restored while preparing the car for sale.
    Inside, the blue-and-gray two-tone interior is in good original condition and required only minimal cleaning after arrival. It shows signs of age but is not torn or damaged. It sports its original striped Turbo floor mats, which are hard to get replacements for.
    Mechanically, the car required a new brake master cylinder after auction but the entire brake system was renovated prior to shipment from Japan. The A/C system, listed as inoperative at auction, required a recharge but now works and blows cold. Records with the vehicle indicate it received a new water pump in 2017 prior to auction.
    The car runs, drives, shifts, and stops as it should and received a clean bill of health from our mechanics in Japan and again during our own inspection and preparation for sale after arrival in Florida.
    To accompany the City, we purchased and imported a mechanically excellent but slightly scruffy White Motocompo. The painted panels were removed, refinished, and repainted in a factory shade of red to match the red decals on the City Turbo. White and yellow factory Motocompo decals were then added to give the bike a factory fresh appearance.
    The Motocompo required no mechanical renovation and runs, steers, and brakes just like it did in 1983.
    The City Turbo was not offered with the Motocompo, but the mounts for it remain. Factory straps were not available for tying the bike down so a set of Husky straps are in place to keep the Motocompo solidly anchored to the floor even when the City is driven vigorously.
    With the car and bike matched color wise, the Volk turbofans, backed by 25mm spacers to put them more flush with the body, were repainted into the body color, with the “Volk Racing” scripts painted red in the same shade as the Motocompo. Details matter!
    We’ve spared no expense in preparing this vehicle as if it were going to be our own to show off and treasure - we hope you’ll be pleased.

    i love that honda went so nuts with single sided swing arms on their 80s bikes that even the little motocompo was no exception.

      i mean, it's a scooter.... most every CVT-equipped scooter has a SSSA. In the years the Motocompo was made (81-83), i think only Honda's scooters had SSSAs. I cannot think of a Honda with a SSSA before the RC30 racebike (88) and the Hawk GT (89)....
