Default What's wrong with this S600?

Hi everyone, I'm new here....

I really love classic cars and I love Honda... so, the S600 is the answer. I would like to find one although, it's very rare....

But now... I found one... But it really looks weird... Especially at the front... I really can't tell why I feel so. I did alot of googling, see alot of S600 images and found that the nose should be the problem.

Could anyone please tell me what is wrong with this Honda S600?...



Thanks...

It does look like the nose/grill is "in" ever so slightly, but it could just be the angle of the photo.

What else is "wrong" with it? Well the color of course, missing fender emblems, missing fender mirrors (one near the driver door is not the correct location) the hood emblem, the wheels (i bet they changed out the hubs) the seats, the dash, the steering wheel, the interior rear-view mirror, and it looks like they added a slight "flare" to the fenders and quarters.

Do you have any more pics of this car? Do you know if it's got the original engine (or an S600 engine).

Thank you so much, SmithEnhiven, for your reply... I will find more pics with interior and rear view also...

I found 4-5 S600s those have this kind of nose and shape. The fender trims on all cars have been removed.

The engine?... No... not original... This car got a Toyota engine (5K) and, therefore, the rear chain suspension has been replaced by a Toyota KE20 one...

Hi ian1006... Yes it's in Bangkok... where do you live? in Bangkok?

Nice to meet you anyway...

I found this car quite a long time ago... in Nontaburi area and it had been sold to someone else. I was too slow...

But I still rise this issue up because I found a lot of S600 in Thailand that has this kind of problem... I couldn't exactly tell what's wrong....

If you are looking for a S600... I found one that is on sale now...

But, this one has an obvious face transform. not original engine. and so pricey...

I lived in Bangkok for 6 months and will be moving back again in about 2 years. I lived over next to the freshman campus of Ram University. (I cant spell the full name!)

Good luck on finding a car over there though...Ill be getting another CBR when I come back, I couldnt drive a car there haha.

Are you looking for an all original car or is a modified one ok?
