Default Curt's Royal Navy Blue.

Alright Guys im Curt
Picked up my first s2k a couple of weeks ago, Landed with it!
Anyway bit of history first, owned only three cars before this one.
a corsa C 1.0, corsa c 1.8 and my previous car was a EP3.
the corsas were good stepping stones but thats about it
Absolutely loved the type r

Modded it quite a bit eventually coilovers AEM CAI, uprated brakes. Had it for about 13months
but ultimately came to the decision to sell because they were becoming increasingly more common and it annoyed me!
So decided i wanted an s2k. Was looking for a few months and wanted an AP2 before 06 to avoid the tax jump, with low miles, with hardtop and preferably in a rarer colour. Went to see a couple and just didn't fit the bill until i came across this one

Ebay AD

Full service history and just hit 50K miles. The guy selling originally had it priced at £9k but was going to work in singapore really soon
So i paid £8000 for it which i thought was pretty fair considering it's condition! Completely standard at the minute but have many plans for it and i intend to keep it for several years.

Here's some pictures of it after its first detail and as it stands today.

Good choices of cars mate, I to had a black EP3 before my S2000 and went for a RNB S2000 to! Colour looks great when clean and the sun hits it thanks to the pearl. Just a bi*ch to keep clean!

Your example looks great though, welcome.

I've been thinking of a S2k for a bit now, was never really bothered with navy colour but it does look good in those pics.

Very nice looking S Curt!

It's an AP1 though, go and have a look at the chassis/vin plate under the bonnet.
