Default How many on the road

Since reading recently about S2's being written of in a variety of different ways, I was just wondering how many have ever been registered and/or imported and how many have come victims of wet roundabouts, floods, trackday accidents etc...
Only asking since I see loads of every other car I looked at before buying mine such as 350z, Z4, MX5, boxsters etc but can go for weeks and miles before seeing another S2. Personally I like the exclusivety, plus the fact that looking at the message boards for other owners clubs it seems that the more people own one then the more they argue or want to lay claim to the biggest, fastest, loudest etc where as we all seem to get along.

According to my local dealers data base, there are (3764) S2000 registered on UK main dealer data base for servicing across the UK

How true that figure is, is another question.

What makes you feel you can make such a sweeping generalisation?

Everyone knows Nurby Blue's the slowest colour!

I guess that depends upon one's perspective.

I would suggest Undercoat Grey (in either the Moonrock or Silverstone iteration) has been a 'best' seller. Whether or not Undercoat Grey will be a good seller on the SH market in the future is another matter.

My best guess is grey S's will be going for

I would like the Mods to life ban any s2k owners referring to their own cars as S2's from this forum ...... even fellow Nurby owners.
