Default My first sighting - WHITE!

After 3 months I have finally seen another S2000 on the road, and it was WHITE!

pre-2002 model, the exhaust looked very tinny / thin and was very buckled (looked worse for wear).

Very clean though, anyone here?


Often.

Blimey - rare as hens teeth!

Must be a Jap import - there are 2 whites I think - 'flat' white and a pearlecent white - ot of interest, which was the one you saw?

There's a (flat) white Jap import just been sold in Horsham to a lady. No other info.

Not impressed though, white does nothing for the car

Intergra - White with tints

Civic type R - Silver or Black

BTW, hide your S2k round the back of the garage and go test a Civic Type R......They are a hoot !

I don't think the S2000 would suit white - just my personal preference.

Saw the silver Type-R a couple of days ago didn't do anything for me. Prefer the Red.

Test drove a Type-R when we were looking to replace the Polo with an ordinary Civic. Explained to the salesman that we already had an S2000 so I was unlikely to buy and he was quite happy to go out. Great fun to drive Trisha preferred it to the S2000 because of the FWD. Nearly ended up with two performance cars on our drive but common sense prevailed

I have seen pictures of white cars with the red/black interior and thought they looked pretty good............

I have Yellow S2000 and Silver Civic Type R and there really is not that much between them performance wise. Both totally different cars to drive and they both sound different. So far both are superb.

I'd guess that as it's a pre-2002 model it'd be the flat variety of white. From what Kobe has told me the great range of new colours (including the oh so tasty Platinum white pearl) only came into the range with the 2002 model year..... I'd love a Monza red with red interior
