Actually my parents still have it as their second car! I registered in here originally back in 2006 when I was at Uni. It’s probably pretty rare now as it’s a 1.4 16v sport and I think those engines are few and far between. Haven’t driven it in a few years, but I’ve vowed to keep it once my parents don’t want it any more.
I hadn’t considered GT Silver and was more keen to get one in black, but was sold when I saw it in person. It wasn’t a cheap option for the original owner either as it was a ‘special’ colour.

you chose very well that colour is fantastic.
Took the Vtec Yo to the beach yesterday, cracking weather, even went swimming in the sea it was so nice, but that aside grabbed a few shots of the S2000, really epic drive and happy to report the S2000 has got the legs on a 2001 Boxster S also.

Does the lambo have a rash?

Lovely car. Friend has a low mileage late S2K that he’s spent a lot of time detailing and they really are a great car. Shame they never followed up on it with a Mk2!
I love driving it, the Ohlins transformed it and values are shooting up in the U.K. now as USA values exploded in past year.

Sounded like a great trip, hope you enjoyed the rest of it. Pic of my car front and centre in the spirit of this thread, I think you're behind the 911 Turbo!
Well isn’t it a small world. Yes that’s our group behind the 911 and Jag. We all turned up after a proper rapid run over the mountain. Incredible roads.Sounded like a great trip, hope you enjoyed the rest of it. Pic of my car front and centre in the spirit of this thread, I think you're behind the 911 Turbo!
I'm so tempted to get an S2000 as a weekend car, an absolutely lovely bit of kit!Took the Vtec Yo to the beach yesterday, cracking weather, even went swimming in the sea it was so nice, but that aside grabbed a few shots of the S2000, really epic drive and happy to report the S2000 has got the legs on a 2001 Boxster S also.

You better hurry. Prices are going up so fast that they will soon be out of reach.
The S2000 was the most fun car I've owned. I miss it terribly.

A few more from the trip this weekend. 400 miles top down was great fun.

Some great pics last few posts 
This I paid 14k last March, WBAC offering 17k and if I was to sell I’d advertise at 20k, keeping mine though and if U.K. prices follow US then this is just the start but even if next year it’s worth 30k just not sure I could sell it as it’s such an incredible car to drive that can be truly made truly brilliant if looked after or slightly modified.

Similar to mine, I paid 14k and could probably put it up for 20k. But I can't think of what I'd replace it with, just nothing in the same price range comes to mind.
Yes if you look at numbers there are many "better" cars but there's something about the way Honda built this and the way it drives that really makes you love the car. So many owners sold theirs tried Porsches, BMW's etc and are running back to the little old Honda lol.

I used to have an S2000, and currently have a Cayman (987). Driving dynamics aside, I always felt like I could rag the S2000 whereas the Porsche somehow feels a little more fragile. I would have probably bought another S2000 but I wanted a coupe and even with the hard top it wasn't quite what I wanted.
Other than maybe a Z4M, there's not much out there that competes I don't think.
Incidentally, I sold my 2003 S2000 5 years ago for £6k (market price at the time)
