Hi and welcome
You won't regret buying an S so long as you find a good one.
Took me 6 months to find a low mileage unmolested one, but it was worth the wait.

Thanks guys

I'm pretty handy with a spanner, so I don't mind buying a fixer-upper. I always find I connect more with a car if "it needs me".

I don't however have much of a nerve for bodywork, I'll do it if I have too!

Hopefully when the summer passes there will be a good choice out there.

Really want a yellow one though.

Yellow one might not change his hair colour

Yeah maybe. Hahahhahahha. Also there is the problem of carrying surfboards on or in an S?

I'll probably not end up with a whacky colour, they seem so far and few in the classifieds.

Plus as its a car I'm likely to keep for a long time I'd like to think it's look can evolve from one style to the next. Having silver it's timeless. But it won't stand out either which seems a shame for such a car.

I can fit my wakeboard in the passenger seat which is 142cm plus a longer bag - but always a choice between wife or board - not both a small board might fit but a Mal might start looking a bit silly https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/949...t__p__21664523

Well as cool as that is, trips to the beach would almost always mean wife and two dogs - so no S for those.

Plus I'm a midlander so the distance means I'll take the turboweasle on longer motorway trips.

But talking of space and long trips. If I'm looking at a GT with the hardtop and stand that is miles away - does the hardtop stand disassemble and fit into an S?

When I bought mine the stand ended up going in the Polo with seats down. In all honesty we didn't try to put the stand in the S but I doubt it would fit.
