LOL will do Kim...is there a category for Tattiest S2000? If not I'll park it around the corner!
There is a dirtiest car award, of which I am the current holder!

I did spot on Facebook that you'd won that award!

Cheers Ian, I'll have to take a look at the events section, otherwise I'll probably be re-doing Abingdon or going somewhere a bit closer like Bedford.


Here's a pic!

Go on then how much did you have to part for it?

Surely it can't be much less than what I paid for mine - mine begins with a 3 :-)

Yep I'm going to guess at £1600 due to the impending £2000 the owner had been quoted for the work to get done. It probably wasn't worth much over £2750 with that mileage / condition anyway.

Good man.

I look forward to the lengthly build thread.
It won't be lengthy really CJ as the condition it's in means I don't want to spend too much money on it. I may polybush it if the geo is seized and its not within tolerance but other than the coilovers and maybe some different wheels, fluids changed but thats about it.

Yeah yeah. The S2000 is incredibly good value for money given your knowledge of the cars - a project makes a huge amount of sense.

As for the tattiest - mine's about to come out of the bodyshop, perhaps I can park mine next to yours and we can do a before & after type gig!
