Red all the way.

Seeing pictures on the net, I always liked the red/black interior but when you see the red interior in the flesh, it's so much nicer.

Black interiors are common in most cars.

Thanks for the advice guys,

Black's a pain to keep clean.......
I know that the maintenance issues are no problem, cos i intend to spend a great deal of my waking weekend hours polishing and looking after it!

I'm just worried about the amount of time that i'll have to wait before one that i want becomes available. I suppose that being on the younger side, i want everything yesterday, and the thought that i could be driving my very own S in less than two weeks is pretty tempting, even if it is a second choice colour! Anyone who's been knocking around for a while, how often do they come up? I can only see one in the past year or so that's been in the "For Sale" section...

Oh yeah, and S2000-4U has got a locator service, anyone tried it?

Cheers, Matt

Red with black interior any day. It's a good looking car, why ruin it with a dull colour

'06 model Red black int. 4k miles demo
Yeomans
Bognor Regis
01243 860306
David Ayling

Test drive it last week-end & it was lovely, but sadly wife advises that as a silver top 60yr old, a bright red sports car is far too late-life crisis, ( had snazzy Sunbeam all through the 80's though) so black with red/black int. it is.

Yeomans VERY VERY keen to sell it. David a genuine guy so haggle away.

I'm not one for bright colours I would have fast and furious black with red, but I voted the other way
