It’s easy to articulate our feelings on this vehicle
We’ve never seen one of these, but we already like it. There is little information available on this one. Most Google hits relate to this one being for sale off and on for quite some time. This one needs a good geaneology project… Regardless, we’re sure it would make a great daily driver. Click for…

Holy Grail of oddness: Honda S800 Coupe
Anyone with any automotive street cred knows exactly what a Honda S2000 is and why it’s a great car. You have to go up a level to know that the S2000 was inspired by Honda’s first production car, the S500 through S800 series. Seemingly very few, however, are aware of the coupe versions of the…

NSU Sport Prinz
Here’s a rare little beast from NSU, one of a few brands bought by Volkswagen and rolled into what we now know as Audi. The ad text below gives plenty of info which we won’t repeat, but suffice it to say this is a cool little Italian-designed sportster. This is likely to be awesomely slow,…

Old Hondas tend to come in groups and parts lots. These predecessors to the S2000 are the oldest Honda cars of all and this is quite a lot: three cars in various conditions and some engines, transmissions and other parts. We love these little sports cars for a variety of reasons, including extremely light weight,…

Richard Scarry’s dream car – the GoldBug
This is the unholy marriage of a Honda Goldwing motorcycle with a VW Beetle. Given the combo, we’ll call it GoldBug, which was, of course, the elusive character in Richard Scarry’s children’s books back in the day.

Old school Bluebird
