How many Honda S600 still exist in the US?

Johnne,

I wrote to a Honda organization and they provided me with an estimated
number of all cars including S500 roadsters, S600 roadsters, S600
coupes, S800 roadsters, and S800 coupes. Unfortunately, they do not
have a more specific breakdown by engine displacement or body style.
They did mention that the S600 roadsters are the most common of the 5
variations and their best guess is that they account for approximately
60 to 70% of the total.

Would you be interested in the total number of all cars (S500
roadsters, S600  roadsters, S600 coupes, S800 roadsters, and S800
coupes)?

Thanks, 
Bobbie7

Hello again Johnne,

I wrote to the Honda Sports Registry ( www.hondasportsregistry.com )
via the contact form provided here:
http://www.hondasportsregistry.com/contact.php

They kindly answered saying that their organization?s best estimates
peg the current number at somewhere between 350 and 375 for all S cars
including S500 roadsters, S600 roadsters, S600 coupes, S800 roadsters,
and S800 coupes.

Unfortunately,  they do not have a more specific breakdown by engine
displacement or body  style, so they can't really tell you how many of
those 350 to 375 S600s are.

They did mention that S600 roadsters are by far the most common of the 5 
variations.  Their best guess is that they account for approximately 60 to 
70% of that total.

I hope the information provided is helpful!

Best regards, 
Bobbie7

Engine displacement is the number after the "s", S500=500cc,
S600=600cc, S800=800cc. The S800 was the only model to have a regular
rear diff, not the chain drive enclosed oil sumps like the S cars
before it. If you need more info I have a bunch of factory books etc..
The actual numbers are vague because the S cars were never sold here
in the states, they were imported from japan, england, or canada. Alot
of soldiers brought them back when their tours were over. I have seen
two in person and they are cool cars.
