1967 Honda S800 Review [Classic Japanese Roadster]

In this video I review this classic 1967 Honda S800 roadster freshly restored and owned by Honda UK. The S800 was made from 1966-70, following the S500 and S600 sportscars before it - Honda had only started making cars in 1963. I first saw one in the mid-80s and have been waiting over 35 years to finally drive one. My only concern - this thing is absolutely tiny! And I'm tall. Will I fit? Can I drive it? You might be surprised - watch the video now!

I had a coupe from ‘69 to ‘73 and loved it. A lottery win and I would get another one. I loved the high rev scream of that fantastic wee motor.

I owned a 1968 coupe mk1 in 1975 and a 1969 coupe mk2, fantastic cars, paid £275 for the 68 running and £75 for the 69 as a parts car. I rebuilt the 68 mk1 engine twice. What a piece of engineering, service interval was 3000 miles but I never made this before open heart surgery again ! I built a good 69 mk2 car once I’d perfected my rebuilds and it drove like a sewing machine, 80hp from 800cc at 8000 rpm. Biggest improvement was fitting new 145 tyres to the front and 155 tyres rear, had a very interesting chat at Motor Show with a former Honda Team tech expert. The car handled well after this. 21-22 yrs old, I had an ex Royal Navy chief engineer for a Dad, his ability to tune and balance four carbs by ear was extraordinary. Can’t believe values today, it broke my bank continuously in 74/75, a weeks wages for an air filter, a years wages for a gearbox or diff’, hence the parts car. Sold the 69 Mk2 in 75, £375, and then sold all my spare parts for £450. Fond memory but always skint. 😎👍😂

48 cuin making 70 hp. That would be like a 454 making 662 hp.
