My S2000 (Just sold)

[adz9]

Hey guys!

Just thought Id post some photos of my S2000 I owned it just over a year and recently sold it to a guy down in Essex Gutted isnt the word! Anyway, here are some photos!

Sold mine 18 months, gutted no..

To be honest I think you were lucky to find a buyer for a yellow S2000.

Like many previous S owners, I mainly miss the following:

1) Gearbox.
2) Engine note @ 9K with CAI fitted.

Who knows you might find something else to fill the gap.

Happy hunting !

I sold mine in May but luckily managed to upgrade to a V8VR
Still miss it though, great all round package

I'll be selling my 2008 car in spring next year. It's only got 8,500 miles on the clock.

I won't know if I will miss it once it is gone. I suppose I will. I miss all the cars I own. Each have their joys I suppose. I will miss the look of the S2000 sitting on the drive... It looks fab.

That looks good. Yellow is a tricky colour to sell.

I have seen too many pics of even fairly low mileage ones with horrendous driver seat wear where the door side seat bolster has collapsed. It's near impossible to find an early AP2 that doesn't have this kind of wear.

Thats why you should buy a newer model...

Or just refurb/replace the seat bolsters. They start to go very early on, < 20k depending on size of driver.

No point spending a thousands more just so you don't pay £200 (or whatever) for a new seat or £50 (I guess) to refurb or £0 to DIY. The foam inside "crumbles" over time, just need to take apart, add/replace foam etc. Guide to this on www.s2ki.co.uk.

And ultimately however new the car you get, you end up with the same issue anyway.

Actually, this *new* phenomenon affects a lot of cars these days, all the Germans, Japs, French, Brits etc. few leather clad seats don't age as well as I remember(!) they used to.

Yellow is actually quite rare for an S2000 and quite sought after ... there are loads of Silverstone or Nurby blue ... but very few yellows ...In the flesh it is very striking. I thought it would be horrible but was really surprised - and bought one. 18 months later I sold it easily and hardly lost anything .... which was good
