I traveled in sheer luxury to the Crystal Palace sprint on Sunday to support friends of 1stGenHonda Club and displayed my little Honda Pickup on their stand.............

Interesting to say the least driving such a small vehicle on today's roads which has a top speed of 50mph and drops to half that on steeper hills!

What a fantastic venue for a motorsport event....













Honda S800 engine with fuel injection added









Unlimited Pit Lane Access.....









Videos to follow of track action

Some cool IN CAR videos taken by one of the club members, two inside MK1 Civics, and another inside (or on top!) of the Elva / Coventry Climax

Hi
The Honda might have gone quicker if it hadn't been carrying a load which probably doubles it's weight. Very Happy

Is the engine of the mower (or is it tractor?) biger than the Honda engine? Very Happy

Great pictures, good to see the little Honda out at last!

Kind of off topic, but I'm amazed to see the Westwood ride on mower in the back, as my parents have just bought a virtually identical one! Well it's not as clean and has lost the bonnet graphics, but I'm pretty sure it's the same model. One thing they're looking for is a replacement seat - you don't happen to know where we could find one do you?

Hi Richard,

just had a quick search, perhaps this seller might be able to help?

Funnily enough I have just listed that mower for sale too......
