I should have worded it better.

I meant that you should lose a similar percentage saved.

If you don't fair play, but there is no way that I would pay similar money for a euro import over a UK car.

Mike, if you're not set on a brand new car and don't want the 20 week wait you've been quoted, there's a Burgundy 06 just gone up for sale in the FS&W forum from a longstanding member who's known to look after this cars (this is his second S2000).

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&#entry11574419

My own second S2000 was Royal Navy Blue, and I really liked the colour. But rare as the colour is, it's still nowhere near as rare as Burgundy.

Save yourself the depreciation and have a look at Roadkill's car above
