Spotted - Honda S800

[blunder13]

In Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire a very beautiful Honda S800 spotted on Bank Holiday Monday.

Would love confirmation as I saw it from a distance. I am 95% sure...

I love these.

I remember being given a lift in one back in about 1970, at a time when I owned a 1275 Midget. This little jewel revved right up to the stratosphere compared to my old A-Series. I was gobsmacked - I knew of course what to expect, but it made me sit back and think. Motor-bike technology applied to a car engine, and the beginning of the end for the British sports car industry.

Welcome to Pistonheads Bob
hopefully more sunny driving days to come

Hope yours looks better than the one for sale at the moment on ebay in Brighton. Although no doubt one of those TV classic restorer programmes would be able to turn it around in a couple of days.

Bob, amazing car! I was just happy to see one.

Oh and my my partner works at Ravenhall. Isn't it a small world...
