Book Description

Honda did not begin making cars until 1962. Its first effort set the tone for a future as a high-technology manufacturer. That car was the S500 using a 531cc dohc engine developing 44bhp. The S600 followed and in 1966 the S800 was launched and, like its predecessors, was made in both coupT and roadster forms. The Mk II came in 1967 and was in production until the cessation in 1970. 1548 S800s were old in the UK of which only 295 were convertibles. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, buyer's guide. Covers: S500, S600, S800 roadsters and coupes.
