Thanks to everyone who replied to my posting asking for advice on whether to go for Silverstone or Red especially those who attached photographs of their pride and joy.
You may recall that I am retiring next Spring after 40 years of toil and the S2K is a a present to myself. I have now decided it has to be an Ascari Red GT and I have signed on the dotted line expecting delivery May 1st. 2005.
Looking to the future and the question of insurance, can anyone recommend a company who would look favourably upon a 59 year old male ( with all his hair) - and Yes, I will be asking Saga!
In conclusion may I say that this is a great forum, long may it continue!!

 

Congrats on your purchase!!

Check out Adrian Flux - http://www.s2kuk.com with membership of the UK S2000 Owners Club you get a preferential rate. Hit the Benefits, then Insurance link at that site

There are a few vintage people around - AdrianEagle and S200 VMC to name but 2 - although they are 9 and 11 years your senior respectively

Enjoy the car and let's see some pics when you've posted. Don't be too shy to come along to some meets either

 

Great choice of colour JSharpe208.

You know it makes sense.

You can get discount just for being a member of S2KI too, i did last year.

 

Check out the insurance comparsion thread / spreadsheet maintained by Jeager. I you mention the word "insurance" enough then he will be along shortly!

 

Except he, and his sheet is currently offline rob

I do have a copy at work though - note to self, send it home and host it!!

 

Good choice on car - shame about the slow colour

 

Wrong colour, WRONG COLOUR!!!!!!!!!















Joking.

You're gonna love it!

Try all the usual Insurance Companies, if you want cheap, go Elephant, Bell Direct. I've written my other S off with Bell and they were fine.

 

Excellent choice of car & colour JS

Unfortunately you will only be able to see black from the driving position - unlike me
