Honda established Belgium Honda Motor in 1963 and started producing its very first Super Cub, the C100, so becoming the first Japanese manufacturer to start production operations in an EEC country. It later developed and produced the C310 moped for the European market, it was a remodeled version of an existing product, put together after it was decided that Belgium Honda was to be established. Therefore, only a limited amount of time could be devoted to meeting the moped regulations stipulated by European nations. There was a greater need to concentrate on the factory's opening which was fraught with problems due to the weather. In the moped configuration, though, the power of the Super Cub's four-stroke engine was cut back so as not to exceed the maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour. As with other mopeds in Europe, pedals were also added to the product. The Honda version, however, was larger and heavier than the two-stroke mopeds then so common in Europe.
Nothing is known of the history of this example, although it wears a Belgium number plate. Sold without any paperwork.
