Bangers & Cash S3 Ep7 Honda S800 Coupe
« on: May 13, 2022, 07:35:40 PM »
I love this series tonight I watched the above episode showing the Honda S800 Coupe.

Back in 1966/7/8 I worked part time in the motor trade. I twice got to collect  Honda S800 Coupes and one  convertable from the Chesterfield Dealer outlet (a branch of Brocklehurst Motors) and drive them to Derby on trade plates - no A38 back then just lovely winding A & B roads. At 6ft 1in they were bit compact but wow did they rev & go!

I remember them,

The mechanics at the local Honda dealer were confused by how accurate all the settings were,

My first car was a Honda N600 mini,

I'd forgotten about the N600 not seen one for decades - they were quite different from other small cars back in the day.
