This is a highly detailed and rare collectors model in 1:24 scale by Ebbro of Japan, brand new in original packaging, Ebbro Premium Collection item number 24021.

In 1965 Honda introduced its S800 sports car at the Tokyo Motor Show. It featured a 791 cc four cylinder engine with twin carburettors and water cooling. Revving to a maximum of 8,000 rpm, it produced 70 bhp and gave the tiny roadster a top speed of 100 mph.

The Ebbro model features accurate slotted steel wheels with proper profile tyres and finned brake drums. The body is nicely modelled and finished in the authentic colours, it captures the shape and stance of the original car perfectly. All panels open and close as in the original car, doors, engine compartment and luggage compartment, to reveal a fully detailed interior.

The tonneau cover is removable and there is a soft top supplied as well, so the model can be displayed open or closed. Other external features include finely moulded and plated window frames and trim strips, windscreen wipers, external rear view mirrors, radio aerial, plated bumpers, plated door handles, nicely detailed grille and headlights, rear tail and stop lights, number plate frames, filler cap and all correct external vents and badges.

The interior is also very well done, with metal spoked woodrim steering wheel, centre console with gearshift and handbrake lever, fully detailed dashboard and instrument panel with instrument faces, radio, knobs, switches and other features shown, sun visors, rear view mirror, detailed door trims with all correct handles, window winders and armrests plus proper contoured and coloured seats.

The forward opening bonnet (engine compartment) has a proper working stay and is moulded correctly on the underside. The engine and engine bay are beautifully detailed, with complete engine and transmission detail, radiator and hoses, battery, carburettors and exhaust system, master cylinder, fluid bottles plus lots of other minor details too numerous to mention here. The boot (luggage compartment) also opens to reveal interior detail including the jack.

Underneath the model has full chassis detail, with all underside panels properly reproduced, spare tyre compartment, chassis components, suspension components, exhaust system, all axles springs and transmission components, plus the front wheels steer and can be posed in any position
