Thanks for the link above. I had seen that already on Ebay. Almost seems too good to be true. Especially as they have lowered the price a further £200 recently. Looking through the previous MOT history doesn't fill me with hope either, so don't think it is worth making the journey for.

I viewed two Imports in London yesterday which were both really rough and needed lots and lots of work. I have come to the realisation that these cars are worth more than I was willing to pay initially. Well, to get a decent looked after one anyway. I have upped my budget to 4.5k and viewed a UK spec Blue 2001 GT model yesterday. It has just over 100k miles on the clock but has definitely been looked after all it's life. Full Honda Service History at the same garage over the last 14 years. New Gearbox fitted relatively recently. New Hood with upgraded glass screen, car cover, decent Alpine head unit, hardtop stand, tonneau cover, spare set of alloys/tyres and personal S2000 plate included. Was refreshing to see this after the two sheds I saw in London. Think I might be picking it up tomorrow!

Wish me luck!!

I believe it is 'Monte Carlo Blue' if that sounds right?
