Thanks for the advice Skiddy. I need a car for work, so need a courtesy car really. (Still waiting for that mind...)

Hi tjockhult/All,

Well, they offered me £12k, which I didn't accept and sent them photos of current prices of similar aged S2000s and asked for £16k, they relented and offered £15.3k, which I have now accepted.

Onto looking for another one now, there's a nice looking one only 300miles away!

Thanks for all of your advice everyone.

Agree.. definitely "smashed it" out the park on the value you received, pardon the pun
Are you going to get another, same colour... ?

That is exceptionally good news for you and also other owners! Can you tell us what insurance company?

Hey Tony,

I'm thinking a brighter colour, if possible. I'm thinking my Silverstone silver against grey tarmac didn't stand out too well for the 74 year old woman who didn't see me from her perch in her SUV!
