Going to revise my statement after carefully looking at all the pics.

That is the worst rust I have seen in any S2000.

Seems that red cars are relatively rare in the UK

Limiting yourself to a specific color will eliminate a vast number of cars in wonderful condition. I don't have the OCONUS data but even here in the US only 14% of the S2000s imported were red or 1 of 7. Even without the rust this car has all the hallmarks of a quickly painted "flip" car. You can do better.

Remember that sellers like this one have no emotional attachment to the car but buyers wanting (or really, or really really wanting!) a S2000 can be blinded into accepting a bad car 'cuz they just gotta have it.
