Honda S660

[edoverheels]

Any idea on how many there are in the UK and anyone on here got one?
I like the look of them and thinking about importing one.

Not many at all.

I believe Torque GT may have bought a couple in, there’s some gone through the auctions but they do fetch a fair chunk of cash....

That is the impression that I got.
Would rather buy one here than have to import myself but too few here. They are also pricey.
To import one, I doubt if you would get much change from £20,000 and at that price it is hard to see past an MX5. Even though the Honda would be much more interesting.
I did have a quick word with Torque who were very helpful and I may well end up going back to them.

Are you aware of the different models of S660 that have been released in Japan - they have different specs, but are basically the same:

Concept Edition
Alpha
Beta
Bruno Leather
Mugen RA
Modulo X

Prices are a bit all over the place!

[edoverheels]

Originally I hadn't been but I am becoming aware having spoken to Torque and looking at some confusing Japanese auction sites.
The simpler and more basic the better for me!

The Beta is the basic model, but wasn't available at launch. Initially, the Concept Edition was available in limited numbers, then the Alpha, then the Beta.
The others are higher spec special editions costing more. New, the Alpha costs about a grand and a half more than a Beta (before options).

Thanks
I had been trying to work out the differences in spec, not easy, especially as I had assumed (mistakenly) that Beta was higher than Alpha.

I think there is now 4 in the UK .
I also import them .Forget the 11 k price it will cost you up to 20 k for a good UK .all tax ,all legal paid one

I've got one and it's utterly brilliant.

[MikeGoodwin]

Id love to drive one, in fact I'd pay good money to spend a day with one. Bet they are brilliant

Dear David Hodgetts, MD of Honda UK, please bring in some S660's and give your dealers some brisk business. My money is ready and waiting. Really. What a fantastic little car.

[dobly]

Not sure about this S660 development...

There are not many in the UK.

You really need to go for the top spec.

They are freaking everywhere & certainly increased in the last 12months.

(see the japanese thread i posted about auto salon)

the issue you face is

a) they are a honda (so very much in demand, even second hand in Japan)
b) they are aimed at young people for city driving, so sell very well through the networks
c) very expensive by the time you put an IVA on it etc for the UK
d) if you are "average" build, you are going to really struggle to get into it and feel comfy. Just like any other Kei car

have not imported any to the UK, (yet) but i am sure they will be a popular import going forward.

happy to supply one if needed (newera imports) via our japan office.

Here are a couple i spotted on my travels.
