The Appeal

Honda are no strangers to innovation, and the Insight is amongst the most innovative 21st-century cars in the Japanese marque's legendary back catalogue. The Insight's lightweight aluminium body, slippery aerodynamics, and tiny 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine - with electric motor assistance - made for a remarkably economic car. Even Gordon Murray reportedly chose to commute in the Insight - no small endorsement from one of the world's most celebrated automotive engineers.

This example was sourced from Japan and is now fully registered on UK plates. It's accompanied by an MOT, has recently seen a new £2,500 hybrid battery and is reportedly in fine drivable order.
