10/17/2008 NEW WORK has commenced on this restoration! For far too long I have talked myself into thinking that I could NOT do anything by myself... which in part is true because so far I have had some help but there ARE things I can do myself and that has begun!

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
