Spent it's life as a garage ornament...shame.

Nice colour but the hard top does nothing for me.

I would of gone for an earlier mint higher mileage car for half the price.

car is a gt model
I have some great wheels O Z HLT in satin black I purchased a month ago with toyo tyres cost £1600 have just got them fitted to my yellow Honda s2000 I will put the original wheels back on my yellow one before the p x then fit them to the perl white one
that's all I will do to car
will keep the car all standard and the wheels will be stored to sell with the car if I ever sell
it its just a personal look I like without spoiling the car and can be easy swapped back what's your thoughts john

I'd say it's an MY07 car (from the wheels) but registered in 2008.

IIRC the cost of a (fitted) hardtop in 1999 was £3.5k.

Here's a 2006 review from car magazine, the list price was £27,402, and the hard top was £1,000, so £28,402. As this has the VSA option fitted, that was an extra £300, so a grand total of £28,702

The 2008 GT version was £28,560 according to this:

just fetched the car back from northern island to Barnsley south Yorkshire
it was a 25 hr day we set off at 3 am from Barnsley to board the ferry at 8 .00 am from holly head
3 hr 30 sailing to Dublin and the ferry back at 9.00 pm to holly head
that night 4 hr home with getting out of the port at holly head
arriving home at 4 am in Barnsley that morning
the holly Brooke car family were great to deal with and so easy to buy a car from northern island
only problem take some euros for tunnel and motorway about 10 euro
and stop over for a few days it looks like our lake district and was too long a day
also was on edge when been parked on the ferry
not too close to opening doors off other cars on to my new baby but was ok in the end
its a fantastic car like the one I traded in but even better
going to give it loving clean tom thanks for all interest in the thread john
