A comprehensively restored 1996 Honda Acty SDX 4WD Van, showing 54,680 kilometres, was previously offered by Kei Evolution and sold at the Mecum Auctions Florida Summer Special 2025 in Kissimmee, Florida. Finished in Creta White over a gray interior, this JDM custom build, known as Project “008BALA," combined period-correct style, tasteful upgrades and mechanical excellence in a fully serviced, ready-to-enjoy kei van. 

  • Small Package, Big Character:  Honda’s Acty SDX 4WD was one of Japan’s most capable micro-vans, prized for its compact size, real-time four-wheel drive and bullet-proof reliability. Built under Japan’s kei-class regulations, the Acty was designed to haul, climb and maneuver through tight urban and off-road conditions with a toughness few modern vans can match. 
  • Built by Kei Evolution:  Kei Evolution of Delray Beach, Florida, is recognized as a U.S. leader in kei-truck and van restoration, importing and customizing Japan’s smallest off-road capable vans. Their builds are known for meticulous attention to detail, OEM-quality service and tasteful upgrades that enhance daily usability without compromising authenticity. 
  • Compact Power and Precision:  Under the rear deck sat Honda’s 656 cc inline three-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and Honda’s real-time 4×4 system. This combination delivered surprising traction and smooth drivability, making the Acty as capable on rough surfaces as it was nimble in town. 
  • Functional, Stylish Exterior:  Finished in factory Creta White, the van featured a Thule roof rack system with a matching roof basket and integrated light bar, Bosch LED headlights, Hella LED driving lights and factory fog-lamps. The front end carried a custom JDM plate and Owl U.S. tag adapter, while Bosch Icon wipers completed the utility-forward aesthetic. 
  • Detailed, Purposeful Interior:  Inside, the Acty’s cabin was upgraded with a Momo Heritage mahogany wood steering wheel, matching wood shift knob, titanium hardware, and red Momo tow-strap door pulls. The gray interior was equipped with air conditioning, power steering and a heavy-duty cargo mat – reflecting the builder’s balance of function and flair. 
  • Expertly Maintained and SortedRegularly serviced using Mobil 1 oil and genuine Honda fluids, this van benefited from extensive recent maintenance by Kei Evolution. New motor mounts, NGK spark plugs, WPP plug wires, distributor cap, rotor and a new Honda battery ensured that reliability matched its clean presentation. 
This restored 1996 Honda Acty SDX 4WD Van combined the best of the kei-scene: mechanically sorted, tastefully modified and restored with a craftsman’s touch. For collectors, enthusiasts or anyone drawn to the charm of Japan’s smallest 4×4 vans, Project “008BALA” embodied what makes these micro-vans so collectible and fun to drive.
