Rare and innovative three-wheeler with swivel mechanism
Self-managed annual maintenance
New tyres and seat cover
New battery installed
The plus
It seems like everyone was trying to develop three-wheeled personal transport in the 70s and 80s. There was the infamous Sinclair C5, the equally disastrous Ariel 3 'trike of terror'. But Honda did something different. Something much, much better.
The Stream stood out from its three-wheeled counterparts in a unique way. The rear wheels articulated on corner entry, solving the balance problem that caused its rivals to fail. Honda would later use the same concept with great success for the Gyro.
Today, the Stream is very rare, which is why we are delighted to present this highly original example from 1986. We are assured that this tricycle has been well looked after over the years, benefiting from annual servicing by the owner. The recent addition of new tyres, seat cover and battery ensures that this vehicle is ready for its next adventure.

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.
✓ We ask that a non-refundable fee is paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.
✓ We want the transaction to go as smoothly as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are HPI-checked to ensure they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not financially pledged, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
✓ Buyers are responsible for the collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third party transport company who can assist you. For more details and to speak to the team, email [email protected].
