N600! I’ve never even seen one for sale. I don’t have the funds so it’s up to one of you. Just got listed (or relisted, I don’t look THAT closely)

Neat! These are definitely odd and interesting cars.

Is that yours? Awesome either way. In the listing there is a photo next to a golf cart and it is about the same size

Not mine.  A former coworker of mine has these as part of his collection along with many other Hondas, some vintage Subarus, and a few other foreign cars scattered in there.

The fact that they got the title of the car wrong in their ad wrong isn’t very confidence inspiring...though they do have it right in the description. Also, it does not have a motorcycle engine, that is a misnomer to an extent...it was developed BASED on a bike engine, but completely altered for water-cooling where the bike engine was air-cooled, amidst other major changes, so it was a bespoke engine developed specifically for the car, not just a ‘let’s plunk the engine from the bike in it’ situation.

The car they list is a Honda Z600 :

THIS is a Honda N600 :

Very cool cars though, would love to have one!

If it was an actual N600 maybe I’d bite, but tha t’s a Z600 and I never really liked those. My sister had an N600 in the mid 19 70's and it was fun to drive. I’d give that a serious look.

That’s cute AND clean looking.  And rare, of course.  But that’s still a hefty price for a tiny tin-can death mobile, isn’t it?

What vintage Subaru’s. Asking for myself to swoon over.

Yeah I noticed that a bit after posting. Might not be a z600 in the list of Honda’s. I see a lot of Datsuns for sale as one thing when they are something else and noted in the description

What is the difference? I saw front disc brakes in my quick searching

There was a non running but with motor 280z for 4K and an old school mini for 5k that I would go for first. But that’s just me. Some Honda n ut might love this

Not sure how much mechanically is different.

The N600 looks much more like an Austin M ini.

The Z600 looks to me like they sent the N600 design team to the shoe store for inspiration and they all marveled at some funky boots. It has that strange thick black gasket around the read window.

Ah, they have to pick from a predefined list when posting ? That makes more sense.

these are always too dang far away, my friend had one back in the day and we had a blast with it, he fell asleep at the wheel one night and hit a concrete bridge pole dead center, the only reason he is alive and well is partly that his was yellow, some guy noticed and stopped and called 911, when they got him to the hospital his heart stopped just as they started to work on him, he had bitten his tongue almost in half and he was filling his lungs with blood, and, the shifter on these sticks out of the dash, it tore a gash in his liver, i told him he better watch out from now on you’ve used up all 9 lives on this deal
