This rare head turning 1965 RHD Honda S600 convertible is fully restored These cars were the grandfather of the S800 and S2000 and the technology in a Honda S600 was way ahead of its time. This car is all original and since its restoration this Japanese icon has always been garaged and fully covered. It has a soft top and tonneau cover included. It has been rarely driven and is kept for special occasions and the odd club event. This is a rare opportunity for a car enthusiast to acquire this beauty, enjoy and showcase. Currently on Qld club registration. A Safety Certificate will be provided when sold. S600 Specifications: Powered by a DOHC, water-cooled, four-cylinder inline engine with four Keihin carburetors, the engine capacity was increased to 606 cc from the S500's 531 cc. The engine produced 57 hp (43 kW) at 8,500 rpm and had a top speed of 90 mph (140 km/h). With the convertible weighing in at mere 1,576 lb (715 kg), it has a four speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels via a hypoid differential outputting to chain final drives for each rear wheel. Each wheel is driven by dual chains, contained in a pivoting, sealed case with oil bath lubrication and adjustable tensioners. These pivoting chain cases function as trailing arms for the fully independent, coil-sprung rear suspension. The front suspension is also independent, with A-arms, longitudinal torsion bar springs and rack-and-pinion steering. The S600 is equipped with 13" wheels and finned aluminum drum brakes. The S600 are going up in value every year. Currently they are selling in the US for $50k-$100k USD fully restored like this one. These S600 have a cult following in the US , Japan and Europe. This 1965 Honda S600 is consigned with us at Firepower Customs and Classics and is being offered for sale for the first time since its restoration. The restoration was achieved by the current owner and his father. Inspections are in Chandler Qld by appointment only.
