The Club was formed in the north of England by a small group of enthusiasts who wanted to know more about the cars and meet some fellow owners. It has grown from these early beginnings back in August 1978 when only 4 members attended the first annual get together to what is now recognised the world over as an enthusiastic participant of the "Classic Car Movement" with members in many countries Worldwide.
At the helm, a committee is elected each year at the Clubs Annual General Meeting, from nominee's taken from Club members. As a result the Club enjoys a friendly membership, all having a common interest in the S800 and more laterly, the N/Z family of cars.
It is the aim of the Club to promote and maintain interest in the Honda S800, and make the S800 a more enjoyable car to own by encouraging communication between as many owners and enthusiasts as possible. The Club enjoys an active membership who participate in events all over the world.
You do not have to own a S800 to join us. In many cases enthusiasts join the Club to locate a car to purchase. We have a list of cars known to be presently available which can be accessed by Club members.
Whatever your reasons to get in contact, we want to see that the Honda S800 continues to be a regular sight on the roads and at organised events. With continued and refreshed support from you as an enthusiast I am sure that we will continue to achieve this goal. We always state that this is a members Club, here to help you the member further your own interest and enjoyment in the Honda S800.
The Club offers monthly meetings within the UK. These are organised by the members and typically involve discussing Club events, technical information, swapping parts, showing photos of their projects and of course showing off their cars. We also organise Social evenings and Classic Car runs including visits to places of interest. We receive numerous invitations during the course of the year to different shows and events so there is sure to be something happening in your particular area.
Road rallies have become very popular in recent years and are probably a less costly way of taking part in competitive motor sport, letting the S800 cut down to size much larger competition on the twisting back roads. Classic car runs and shows are more popular today than they have ever been, and many members participate in these, which gives promotion to both the car and the Club. Within the Club we have several immaculate examples of the marque which have won prestigious national concours awards.
Club members cars have also been used by Honda U.K. and by numerous magazines both on the launch of new vehicles and for side by side comparisons with contemporary cars.
We have several members who own these examples of automotive history and we have a dedicated contact point within the club.
Spares for these vehicles are still available, and through the club you will also have access to invaluable expertise.
Space in the Club magazine has been allocated for owners to promote the cars and deal with technical issues. Owners of such cars are especially welcome at all Club events and shows.

More details can be found on the 'Spares and Services' button link.
A fair number of spares are still available new from Honda which is amazing for a car that has been out of production for over 38 years. Some items are discontinued, and our spares suppliers are now having parts re-manufactured, sometimes with a cost saving on the original item.
With the growth of the Classic Car movement there is a plethora of companies able to offer renovation services such as plating, machining and repair.
We have a recently joined Club member located in the Midlands area of the UK who is re-manufacturing wings and various panels for the cars. Examples of the standard achieved can usually be seen at the NEC Classic Car Show.
Most of the long established members have their own stock of spares and some are willing to swap or sell these spares between the members.
In addition the club does have some reclaimed spares which are available to members only.
If you already own a Honda S800 or are contemplating buying one then
you really should join the Club that knows them inside
out.
We can offer you help and support in running and restoring these
fascinating cars as well as all the usual social attributes of a
members club. The main source of news and information is the club
magazine “Revs” which is delivered free to all current
members. There is a regular listing of cars known to be for sale
together with second-hand spares currently available. Also within its
pages there are articles on restoration and technical matters together
with lively feedback on current topics and club events. From time to
time the magazine is supplemented with newsletters advising you of
forthcoming events and more urgent matters arising.
There is an active committee who manage the day to day running of the
club on a voluntary basis and together with representatives in various
parts of the world can advise on any difficulties you may be
experiencing. It is true to say that a large proportion of the
membership have owned their cars over a considerable period of time
during which they have got to know all the cars strengths and
occasional weaknesses. The feedback to you from these members is
invaluable.
The club has various contacts for both new and used spares and indeed
some pattern parts are now being re-manufactured commercially. Honda
Japan still manufactures some parts for the cars some 38 years after
production halted and these can be ordered through specialist Honda
dealers.
The club has details of several very competitive insurance scheme
within the U.K. offering agreed value insurance (on a limited mileage
basis) with the option of monthly payments if required.
(In addition, within the U.K. all the cars qualify for free vehicle
excise duty).
