GarageScout Take
An early live-axle S800 with unusually specific Manchester Honda provenance, brought over by the dealership’s proprietor and retained for showroom display from 1981.
Strengths
- Early live-axle 1967 S800 production configuration.
- Documented Manchester Honda provenance, including showroom display from circa 1981.
- Clean Connecticut title with accompanying literature and records.
Watch For
- The replacement 791cc engine does not run; carburetor service and further sorting are required before driving.
- A previous repaint followed repairs for rear-end accident damage, with additional repainting carried out about ten years ago.
- Corrosion is noted beneath the car.
- The soft top and windows show age, the door weather seals are missing, and the brightwork has pitting.
