Default Colour Choice

After spending 40 years on the treadmill I have decided to retire next Spring and a present to myself is to be an S2000. I went for a test drive last weekend and have made up my mind but for one thing - should it be New Formula Red/Black or Silverstone metallic/Red&Black? To help me make the decision, are there any owners in the Derby/Ashbourne area who would allow me to view their prized possession.
Incidentally, I now have to sell my current car - a Volvo s40 T4 se - first reg. Sept 99 (37k miles) - depreciation is horrendous - anyone know of a potential customer ?

Sports Car Red, especially as it's a retirement present. You don't want battleship grey making your driveway look dull

T4SE would make an interesting beater/second car for someone.

I quite liked the S40 hire car I had a couple of years back.

Plenty goodies with SE I imagine - and 200 bhp

Silverstone and Full Red has regularly been reviewed as being THE most stylish, sportiest and FASTEST colour combination

I have both of these colour combinations and IMHO i think that silverstone/red&black is the nicest. And faster





You know it makes sense...

I could have shown you mine 2 weeks ago cos i'm local but i no longer have it.

No no no, you don't want a silverstone, you want something a bit more lively:

Go on, treat yourself
