Often been temtped by one of these, not very many of them around.
They are a japanese import only.
Biggest difference to the other JDM's is the VGS variable geared steering making it much light and quicker at slow speeds.
Very rare purple colour as well.
Also has the JDM sat nav.
Not liking the bonnet or the exhuast though
Not a bad price either.
I've not commercial interest in this - it would be nice to see it on here though!

I know I know
but it is rare enough to warrant telling peps about IMHO

 

I'm not keen on the gear knob.

 

What makes it different to any other import, apart from the colour and it doesn't have a gear knob?

Doh, just read your post fully Mikey, just the steering is different then?

 

They are getting so cheap now it is tempting to get a second one for the wife ....

 

VGS is a PITA BTW.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bought a VGS S2000.

 

I've never driven a VGS item, but was going to buy one.

I did some reading and the comments weren't positive.

That and it was apparently a good deal slower circuit wise.

Still, maybe some people would prefer it?

 

I know a local guy with a black one, and he loves it. Has a cage in it and does a fair few track days I think.

Never driven one myself.

 

Do you think that is really cheap though?

Import, 2001, Needs a new bonnet + paint, odd shaped steering wheel with mechanism likely to fail at some point..
