9/27/04 - New Body! We found another complete car less than 2 hours from our house! We picked up about 3/4 of the car (no tub yet) this weekend and plan to get the body next Sunday. It is SO much better than our body but has no engine. We just happen to have a good engine so.... you can guess the rest :-) See Pics.

Thanks for dropping by to visit Chatham! This site is dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and enjoyment of Honda's S600 model in general and my car, Chatham, a 1965 S600 convertible, in particular.
The S600 was launched in 1964, the same year Honda entered F1... a coincidence? I think not! The S600 was back in the news in 2000 when Honda launched their coveted S2000 model... The two cars are shown side by side below.
Did you know there is a Chatham Honda in Scotland?
Some facts about the S600:
- First Honda car offered in two trims
- Engine capacity 606 cc
- Horse power: 57 at 8500 rpm
- Top speed: 90 mph
- Redline: 9,500 RPM
- Carburetors: 4
- Convertible weight: 1576 pounds
- First "mass marketed" Honda car
- 11,284 built between '64 and '66
