Default Moonrock or Silverstone

Hi All,
New to this S2000 stuff but have took a notion of maybe buying one. They were brought up in conversation one night about how affordable they are getting so when I looked into them I have to get one.

So just wondering is there much diffence in the Moonrock or Silverstone colours?? Which is darker and is there a difference in the year these colours were introduced?

Would like to buy something onto this colour with the red Leather contrast if I can. Maybe an '01 model.

Cheers
FastPat

Silverstone is lighter and has been available since the S2000 was released, Moonrock since MY04 (?). Look in the Gallery for images.

Here a few pictures of my Moonrock::





It has half red, half black leather (only available from MY04; it was one or the other previously) although not very obvious here and I don't seem to have a picture of the seats.

As you can see, quite a bit darker than Silverstone. Again, Moonrock is only available from MY04 onwards though. I changed to this colour from black as this is my daily driver and hides the dirt a lot better than my old black!

At the end of the footage you can see it from the outside, it's definitely Moonrock

And Thanls Neil, Class lookin car man!! I have seem that type of interior. Wet Dream stuff!!

Didn't want to spend as much as an '04 yet. Might have to settle for Silverstone then.
