Colin:
The "Tire Rack" . Where are they located? Mike O Connor was asking $45.00
per tire plus shipping( I think he said $40.00 for the 4). As the cars are
considered antique by the customs folks any part is not subject to duty.
Your S600 looks great. I recall them sitting on a Fina gas staion lot in
london for sale when new.A long time ago. mike

Hi Luca,
Yes, I know, the previous owner had the seats reupolstered in black, and since the red door pads were shot, I thought I would make the interior black. One day, when I fully restore it, I will change it back.
Thanks for the compliment!
Cheers,

Hi Mike,
I wish I was old enough to see the S600's (and for that matter, the N600's) when they were new, however, I am a just a kid theoretically, at 33 I find I am one of the youngest that is into these neat cars. My dad remembers seeing the S600 new, a guy sold Honda bikes from his garage in Oshawa, and a sign on his front lawn said "The Honda car is here" Curiosity got the best of him, so he wheeled his 64 GTO in to take a look, he kind of laughed at the size, and carried on, who knew just 10 years later he would own the first of many Hondas, as most, fed up with the lack of quality in the domestic offerings at the time. He is still a happy Honda owner today.
