Default UK vs EU Import

I've just started looking at s2000s and just wanted to know what I should look for/be aware of when comparing a UK car to an EU import?

Thanks

staffy I have split your post from the thread you posted in, it will get more response here.

Warranty is different for a start.

I think the differences are listed in the Tech FAQ

Mine came with locking wheel nuts, I bought the car direct from a Honda dealer in Holland, and have found no difference in service or warranty items, just done 32k in the the first three years no one has mentioned to me about it being an imprt at any service I have had over hear.

Warranty is 60k.

Everything elses as is, including the wheel nuts.

Buy one, save a bit of cash, forget the mark down on re-sale due to it being an import. The initial cash saved balances it all out.

On the plus side the EU imports have a key fob that unlocks the boot everytime and you may get a fire extiguisher to

No still not registered, hopefully they will sought it. Told the chassis number to the honda garage the other day and they had no record of it.
