Comments from the seller

The S600 was Honda’s first road car and were very well built, with great detailing and a motorcycle engine that revved to 9500 rpm. The remarkable Honda S600 was a surprisingly sophisticated design when introduced in March 1964 this was also the first year the company entered Formula One. This wasn’t the only racing that Honda could draw its experience from, much like its Motorcycle race engines the little S600 had an all-alloy four-cylinder engine with twin overhead-camshafts, four carburettors and a roller-bearing crankshaft. Based on Honda’s first production car, the S500 of 1963, the S600 also had fully independent suspension and final drive to the rear wheels via enclosed chains. The S600 looked similar to the earlier Honda but with a restyled nose and was sold in both convertible and as a coupe and has the distinction of being Honda’s first ever sports car. Critics raved about the switch-like gearchange, the excellent roadholding and above all, that screamer of an engine, with a redline starting at 8500rpm and running all the way up to 11,000rpm. Today the S600 is rare and have become very collectible. I have owned the car for 11 years and has been very reliable and a real pleasure to own . It is a great car to drive. The car is in original condition and presents very well from 1 metre. The car is admired where ever it is parked and is a conversation starter. I am selling my S600 as I have don't have space any longer and have another that I will be keeping. It is not the fastest roadster from the 60’s but it has a lovely Italian inspired design and great sounding exhaust note through the rev range.
