Honda Turns the range to gold to celebrate 50 years in Australia

HONDA TURNS THE RANGE TO GOLD TO CELEBRATE 50 YEARS IN AUSTRALIA

This year marks the 50th year of Honda’s presence in Australia. To celebrate the occasion, Honda has enlisted the help of a Melbourne based wrapping company to create a gold version of every single product in the Honda Range. Not just cars, or bikes, but their lawn mowers and outboard engines too! Probably not their private jets though…

Pictured in the official photos from Honda, looking like they’ve been dipped in gold were the Type R, the NSX, Fireblade, CRF450L, CRF50F, a Mower and a portable generator.

Although a handful of private companies were importing and selling Honda products throughout the 50’s, it was only in 1969 that Honda officially sent Mr. Hidehiko Shiomi to Melbourne to set up shop representing Honda in Australia.

Honda Australia’s chief executive Hiroyuki Shimizu says the global brand delivers a wide range of products and services that help make people’s lives more enjoyable.

“We thought about how we could celebrate our birthday and our unique diversity in a bold and fun way. I mean, who has ever seen a golden lawn mower or generator before,” he says.

Although these models are one off’s for promotional purposes, we may see a range of special edition vehicles come to market to celebrate the milestone down under.

Norton Way Motors Ltd is also authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for consumer credit purposes. We offer a range of vehicle finance facilities through a panel of carefully selected third-party lenders. We do not provide customers with independent finance advice and will not offer facilities from lenders outside of this panel. Norton Way Motors Ltd is a broker for finance and not a lender. The lenders that we use are given first right of refusal. This is because these lenders will pay us a commission for introducing you to them. Commission may be calculated based on either a fixed amount relating to the vehicle you are purchasing, a percentage of the amount of finance you are borrowing, or a combination of both. We may also get paid an additional fixed commission if you are a returning customer. Different finance lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions. Such payments will not affect the amount you pay under any finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender. We will inform you of the amount of commission that we will earn in good time. We will require your consent for us to receive this commission. Our approach is to introduce you to a lender on our panel who will offer you the best package taking into account eligibility, product suitability, as well as interest rates and other factors. Our aim is to secure the best deal that you are eligible for. You do not have to take our finance as it is available through other distributors. You can arrange funding for your vehicle elsewhere and it may be cheaper.
