Mar 28, 2016

Honda is releasing a new video series called #HondaSerialOne, which will follow Honda mechanic, Tim Mings while he restores the very first Honda automobile in the United State, a 1967 Honda N600. Mings, who grew up restoring Honda vehicles with his father, is the only full-time Honda N600 mechanic in the world, having restored over 1,000 of them in his career.

There were only 50 1967 Honda N600 vehicles built, and only three have survived. Mings purchased one immediately when he came across it, and owned it for several years before discovering it was Serial 1000001, the first Honda automobile in the U.S.

After Tim restores this vehicle, it will be sent to the Honda Museum where Honda fans all over the world can see it and enjoy it. Keep up with Tim on the Honda video series and watch the first installment below!
