There you go, as they say.




B****r to clean IMHO.

White is the most sought after colour in Japan, its considered a prestige colour not quite sure why but all the Type R models are originally released in white and then other colours are added later. When I was over there about 5 years ago buying cars at auction I was told that white would cost extra, barmy!!!!

White is Japan's national racing colour. So Type-R's are released in white as they are connected to racing cars.

My last MX-5 was BRG. It's nearly as bad as black/white to keep clean.

It was also a bit beer bottle, rather than a true BRG.

IMO, the S2K would look good in a proper (ie nearly black) BRG, especially with that diamond pleated red leather!!

I know what you mean - my CRX was called "olive" green (very close indeed to BRG) and it wasn't easy to keep clean but looked fantastic when polished up.

I think there's a dark green option for the S2000 in Japan, along with orange ?
