Awesome! I would love one of these cars, but you rarely if ever see them for sale.
Looks like it is in original condition almost.
Where did you find it and how much did it cost? PM me if you want, but I am really trying to find out how much to pay for one when I see it. I have seen prices anywhere from $8000 to $20000 and massive variances in condition.

This car has been with it's owner since 1979 and yes...very original (I have the right carbys that will be going back on) I found the car a few suburbs away after advertising in local papers for one.. just lucky I guess
The engine was rebuilt just prior to being laid up in the 1980's and there is a small amount of rust.
I was very lucky to get it for around $10k but have been told it's worth about $24k
They really are getting hard to find with so many exported from Oz.. that and they are very desirable exciting little things...
I'm lucky to have got so many spares with it including a perfect door and Hardtop

Have fun with it dogboy, you are one lucky puppy to have found it.
I would have loved one, but had to settle for an S2000, which I bought a couple of weeks back.
I have never driven an S800, but back in my racing days, there was a lady who used to loan me an S600 when ever I came to town.
It was really great. I was racing a Formula Junior Lotus at the time, & it felt quite a bit like that. Particularly the engine revs & the ride. The gear change was a bit slow,
& I had to be careful with it. Feeling like the race car as it did, I was inclined to expect instant gear changes, which led to crunching noises.
Have fun with it.
