Default 2002 Silverstone / Red Leather 73K GT with hard top - £8,000

I've decided to put my S2000 up for sale as I need to get a Van. Rather ashamedly, I have done less than 2,000 miles in the car since buying.

I bought the car in March 2017 and since then have spent quite a bit getting the car in the condition it is now (I wanted a fairly original car which drove like new). I am the 4th owner of the car and prior to me it was kept in a garage its whole life.

The condition is good for the age and it always gets comments. The wheels do have some flaking, but are the original diamond turned finish. The soft top roof is the original and it good condition, no leaking into the boot / rear foot wells.

I think this would be a great car for anyone who wants a relatively standard AP1 which is mechanically spot on. PM me for further details or txt on 07806 607 823 (more likely to respond quick to txt)

Improvements / services I have completed:
  • Suspension overhaul - As with all S2000's, the suspension had some issues with bushings. In April this year I had Performance Autoworks (fairford) fit a set of brand new Bilstein B14 coilovers. During the work all the bushings were released and re-greased, we upgraded all the lower bushes to Poly's and put a Mugen compliance bush in the front. All the drop-links have been replaced and new DME rear toe adjusters have been fitted. The suspension can now be adjusted without problem and has been tuned to the updated UK settings. The height a small amount (1-1.5") and it feels incredible to drive. I still have the original shocks/springs if someone wanted to keep to revert back. This alone cost £2,000
  • Yokahama AD08r tyres fitted all round (staggered) - Lots of tread left of these, I have done about 1000miles on them
  • EBC Slotted brake disks and Yellowstuff pads all round.
  • Inner rear arches cleaned and rust protection applied.
  • Rear Diff / Transmission / Engine services, Valve clearances checked and adjusted.

Other Mods:
  • UK exhaust mod - completed by previous owner.
