Default The return of TREBOR?

For the very few of you that may remember me - I bought a brand new S2000 in 2003 and spent a couple of years grinning - until loss of job and subsequent earnings meant she had to go...

Well - I am seriously looking to buy an early(ish) S2000 again now!

I suppose the days of driving very carefully around the countryside with The Boy Wonder and mad Burnie are long gone - but I want to drive what I consider to be the best car ever again

If anyone has any tips on buying a 2002- 2003 model then they would be very welcome (Yes I have seen the buying guide etc) - but any issues that might have come to light on what will now be a 10-11 year old car...???

many thanks

Bob

Welcome back! with WinFreak. The engine mileage worries me a bit, though.

Had fun and games all day trying to get insurance - but now I have sorted it

agreed a number with a seller - but I am not spooking the deal until I have the car!

Why not look for a 04+ model, more of then out there with lower milage and imo looks better than the pfl

Welcome back! Despite not having the car yet! Hope you find one soon

TBW is out in Singapore or somewhere now, but mad burnie and many others are most certainly still around, Burn is down in Cornwall now
