Saw this thread last night and made me think of a car Typeone are offering at the moment.
This is a Typeone Renovation car. They occasionally but a good conditon example and completely go through it. In summery this renovation involved:
All in all its mint. It even has a write up about the renovation in the latest Hyper Rev!
Price is about £22k could be on the road in the UK for less than £25k
To essentially replace all the pars Typeone have with new and to the condition of this car it could cost double that!

If I don't like any other cars I'm planning of looking at I might just get another S2000. If I did it would be something like this with crazy low mileage and in mint condition. I don't think this is over priced at all.

I went and saw that red one at Junction 17, I was going to see a mustang they had there a few weeks back, it was in good condition but for the price, that was insane, I didn't see a hardtop either.
Also I wouldn't trust J17 as far as I could throw them, took out a 350Z that looked great and had an MOT a week old, noticed a funny squeak and clunk, sounded like a problem ball joint or suspension and the guy said "Oh don't worry it will have it's MOT and the joint changed before you take it away", I mentioned it had it's MOT already last week and he just kinda looked at me, not sure what to say. At that point I left...

You see some cars sit at dealers for years. There was a burnt orange exige that a dealer was selling for 3 years . I'm certain they like specific cars to sit on their books .
