This 1967 Honda S600 roadster is said to have originally come from Texas but is freshly back in the US after some time spent in France. Originality isn’t touched on, but in a brief description the seller claims repeatedly that it’s in perfect mechanical and cosmetic condition throughout. Find it here on eBay in Fort Lauderdale with reserve not met.

Condition does look impressive in photos and we like that the seller has included snaps of the top both up and stowed underneath its boot cover. This pictures are said to have been taken immediately after it was removed from the shipping container used during its transatlantic trip. The idea of a minuscule Japanese sports car ambling around France with a Texas state sticker (check the left side taillight) is pretty funny.

We’re guessing this one’s been restored at some point, however with 39k and change miles from new there is the possibility that it remains an extremely well cared for survivor. A few dash imperfections shown around the toggle switches add weight to this theory. That 10k RPM redlined tach is always evocative.

The engine bay looks tidy and correct but with a level of patina lending further credence to the idea that the car may remain at least partially unrestored. Though reliable when maintained properly, these little twin cam, roller bearing crank fours are notoriously picky about how they’re rebuilt and we’d want to know more about this one’s history prior to committing to a bid.

S800’s are great and coupes are funky, fun little things, but our favorite Honda S cars are these earlier, chain-drive, even higher-revving 600’s in convertible form. This one seems like it could be an excellent example, and we’ll be watching bidding closely.
