Default LHD

Hi All,

Sold my S2000 last year due to baby arriving and missing it.

Have since moved to Ibiza (well half way there) and thinking that we're going to need a 2nd car when we get there.

Can't really find much in the way of S2000s for sale in Spain, only one I've found was €20,000! So was thinking I'd do well to get a LHD one from somewhere else and bring it down and then put it through its ITV in Spain.

Any recommendations where to look?

Have a look on the belgian/dutch forum: www.honda-s2000.nl, there's always a few up for sale there.

They will be a lot more expensive than RHD cars are here...

Will do, see what you mean about the prices, even a bog standard one in Germany is €9000

I may as well get a UK RHD and pay the extra to change over the lights etc!

That's what I would do, you can convert the lights without having to buy new ones, and if you buy a pre-facelift you don't even have to change the fog light either.

There was an AP2 forsale on either Gumtree or Autotrader?

I'd look at that.



It's an actual AP2 before someone shouts at me; as in 2.2litre.

The headlights are OK for french mots so should be okay in Spain. You might find a lhd one in France under 12k € for a circa year 2000.

Having a rhd in Spain might be tough, overtaking is a nightmare.

Yeh I remember our French counter parts saying they paid a large premium to get a LHD version. We obviously explained it was there fault for driving on the wrong side anyway!!!
