sorry, they should nowJeff1119 said:they dun work for me
s600 to be exact, just when the only 8 made in the world were produced they were made with a hardtop, the honda dealership i work for has 1 of the 8 s600, those things are pure badass, right hand drive witha sports bike motor, rear wheel drive also.Setanta said:First post looks like the Honda S500 prototype to me - not quite a 4th gen
Cheers
Heheh - I beg to differ. The S500 was the limited prototype. The S600 was the twin-chain mass produced varient and the S800 was the tailshaft powered upgrade. In Australia we got both.jspeczcturbo said:s600 to be exact, just when the only 8 made in the world were produced they were made with a hardtop, the honda dealership i work for has 1 of the 8 s600, those things are pure badass, right hand drive witha sports bike motor, rear wheel drive also.
The S600 was the first "mass marketed" Honda car. First offered with right hand steering only, it soon became available in left hand steering so as to be appealing to the export market. (There were a few pre-production S500s manufactured with left hand steering, two or three even being shown in some early sales brochures, but all production S500s were right hand drive.)
Both the S600 roadster and coupe were available in standard trim and a special, upgraded package called the SM600 which included, among other items, special paint colors, exclusive badging, a standard radio and speaker, a special antenna in the passenger side sun visor, standard reversing lights, a standard cigarette lighter, a standard heater, better cushioned seats, and a detachable seat track for quick removal of the passenger seat.
Production of the S600 was much greater than that of the S500. In fact, of the three production engine sizes for the sports cars, the S600 had the highest figures.
Honda built 3,912 roadsters in 1964, with production climbing to 7,261 convertibles and 1,519 coupes in 1965. Production dropped off in 1966 (as they were shifting to the S800) with only 111 roadsters and 281 coupes, giving tallies of 11,284 convertibles and 1,800 coupes for the 3 year span.

We have had more than 8 S600s over here I assure you and while they are a rarity (most are bought up by collectors and taken back to Japan) I assure you that they were the production model.
Here's some photos of one that was for sale last year at my local mechanics:
