The 1300 was a novel car for Honda. The 1300 was a front wheel drive car, and was the largest model the company had ever produced. From 1970 a stylish coupe complemented the more conservatively styled sedan: both had a 1.3 L engine.

The 1300 was Honda's first attempt at producing a conventional sedan to compete with the Toyota Corona and the Nissan Bluebird, and the company was very ambitious, with Soichiro Honda involved in many aspects of the car's design, to include engineering efforts for both the product and assembly procedures. Changes were made multiple times, sometimes on a daily basis, which hampered efforts in production. Mr. Honda was adamant that the engine needs to be air-cooled instead of water, claiming that "since water-cooled engines eventually use air to cool the water, we can implement air cooling from the very beginning."

In May 1969 final specifications and prices for the Japanese market were announced.[2] There would be two engine versions, being the "Series 77" with a single carburetor 100 bhp (75 kW; 101 PS) engine and the "Series 99" with a four carburetor 115 bhp (86 kW; 117 PS) unit: the less powerful car was listed with four levels of trim offered, of which the top three were also available with the four carburetor engine.[2] The manufacturer's ex-works prices ranged from ¥488,000 for the entry level "Series 77" standard saloon to ¥710,000 for the "Series 99" Custom saloon.[2] Automatic transmission and air-conditioning were optional.[2] Six of the seven versions offered were priced comfortably above the Toyota Corolla 4-door deluxe, then retailing at ¥520,000: for this price Toyota included delivery to the Tokyo area.[2]

The car had been introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1968[3] , but production only got under way during the early months of 1969. In May 1969 the Honda 1300 went on sale in Japan.[4] It was reported at the time that launch was delayed by a couple of months because company president Soichiro Honda found the styling of the car as presented at the Tokyo Motor Show the previous year unacceptably bland and called for a redesign[5] . It was not lost on contemporary commentators that Honda himself at the time owned and frequently drove a Pontiac Firebird, and the split air intakes on the front of the Honda 1300 as it came to market suggest that Honda design personnel were also aware of the boss's fondness for his Pontiac[5].

Despite enthusiastic imprecations from Honda's US dealers[5], the Honda 1300 was not sold in the USA. Nor is there evidence of any sustained effort to sell it into Europe. Surviving examples appear mostly to be located in countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. In European terms, the car's engine size and dimensions would have placed it in the competitive sector of small 1300 cc family sedans, although its 57-inch (1,400 mm) width, reported to have been selected in order to qualify for the lower tax class on the domestic (Japanese) market, was significantly below the European standard represented by cars such as the Ford Escort of the time.[4].

Replacement
The H1300 provided the shock needed to change Honda's operating structure. Under the new system, Honda introduced the water-cooled Life and Civic models as its new mini automobile and small passenger cars. The Civic, which was equipped with a CVCC engine in full compliance with the Japanese government's Air Pollution Control Act, drew the world's attention to Honda's engineering approach.

Those involved in the H1300 project agreed unanimously. The pain indeed contributed much to the development of Honda's subsequent, successful future automobile models. In 1973 the 1300 was succeeded by the technically interesting Honda 145, again offered as a Sedan or a Coupé. The 145's body was little changed from the 1300, but it was powered now by a water cooled 1433 cc engine, the inspiration for the car's name. The market was not impressed by the 145: only 9,736 were produced as the model quickly found itself overshadowed by Honda's new Civic, and the coupe ended production in October 1974.

A coupe would not be produced again by Honda until 1978, when the Prelude was introduced.

Geen idee, ik denk nooit. Ik hoef die eigenlijk niet.

Ik koop liever een 2600 Berlina of een Giulia 1600 Spider, of allebei. Maar het bouwen van een Kever met getuned 1.7i 16v Alfa Boxer motor staat ook nog op mn lijstje. Een van die drie heb ik binnen 3-5 jaar wel.

Ohja, wil ook een keer een TR6 hebben, misschien die van mn vader, of dat ik er zelf een koop.

Ik ga eerst maar even kijken wat ze er van zeggen.
Nieuwe voorpijp is 80 euro volgens Hbase.
Heb om 4 uur een afspraak, dus we zullen zien.

2 keer laten lassen kost je buiten de ergernis van het wederom overlijden (want dat doet hij geheid) de helft van een nieuwe voorpijp.. ik zou er een nieuwe onder plempen, 80 ¤ is ook niet de hele wereld
