Hi,

I'm looking into buying a jap import S2000 99' (its already oin the uk). I've found one with a V5, tax and MOT. Its got a rear fog light and Potenzas on the rear wheels.

Am i correct in thinking that this means its passed the SVA tests and its completely legal/legit? I dont think the seller has imported it through a company.

The speedo still reads in kmph and has no service manual or books (i know it'll be in japanese).

What do you people think?

thanks in advance

andy

 

I think you should post in this section.

I'd say how much?

A lot of cheap S2000s around at the moment and you may not be forced down the import route.

A Lotus driving guest - even worse

 

If it's got a V5, it's been SVA'd and is ready to go.

Reading in Km/h is pretty crap though (and it'll be restricted). And don't assume it's normal not to get any Japanese history: I have the service book for mine.

Still if it's cheap as chips...

 

thanks for your help lads.

Its got 55km ish (34k miles ) and its

 

ermmm im probably being a bit retarded here but doesnt eh S just switch from KMph to Mph just by holding the button on the dash!? I know i can swap mine over that way!?

 

Not if its a jap import. The dash is wired slightly differently.

Dash reading in KM is dodgy to me. It should have been converted to MPH for an SVA or even if it came through the old MOT route it should read in MPH.

Its too cheap as well. Sounds like one to walk away from.

 

ahhh i see!
