The Honda HR-V was introduced in 1999, an early example of a compact SUV, initially available as front wheel drive but subsequently available with four wheel drive.Power was provided by Honda's super-reliable and revvy D16 engine in standard or VTEC format, both with a single overhead cam and sent to the wheels by either a 5 speed manual or CVT automatic gearbox.
Honda's ingenious Real Time 4WD system used a dual hydraulic pump rear differential which only activated when the front wheels lost grip.Never a huge seller in the UK but the HR-Vs had funky looks that have aged well and are certainly more distinctive than the second generation models which appeared in 2013 after a seven year HR-V hiatus.
The HR-V boasted funky advertising too, focusing on a fun, lifestyle image based around the 'Joy Machine' strapline.
The t shirt itself features a HR-V graphic plus the distinctive logos printed on a contrast varsity style hoody in black with contrasting red inner hood and draw cords.
Description
The design is printed onto AWD Varsity hoodies, which are high quality 80% cotton / 20% polyester blend hoody. The cotton content is unusually high and makes them more resistant to bobbling. They are a regular fit.
Sizes
Size guide as follows: Small 36" chest; Medium 40"; Large 44"; XL 48"; 2XL 52". We have provided a size guide in the images to help, if possible compare the sizes to a well-fitting hoody that you own already. Please choose your size carefully, I would describe these hoodies as a generous fit.
Printing
The design is printed out of an A3 size sheet, so the image will be full size very similar to the photography, unlike cheaper hoodies that are produced on A4 size where the image looks too small on the t garment.
Washing Instructions
Wash inside out at 30°. Do not tumble dry. Iron inside out or do not iron decoration.
