I thought it was about time I created a thread on my cherished S2000. I bought the car 7 years ago from Honda in Crewe. It was a standard Moonrock 2006 GT model with 20k on the clock. It was relatively clean having only two previous owners.

The car was bought by myself before Honda had chance to put it on their site. Good ones are hard to come by so you have to be quick.

Fast forward to today and the car now has 44k on the clock. Its very recently been treated to a respray, new mohair hood, refurbished wheels (I wanted to retain the OEM wheels but decided on a change of colour), underseal and full machine polish/ceramic coat.

I’ll let the pictures do the talking…

*Take note of the colour change, the colour changes at every angle...

What can I say about the car? I love it to bits. I have thought about selling it for something else but I just can’t bring myself to do it. I enjoy it as much today as the day I bought it. It might not be the quickest thing on the road but the way it drives is second to none. It may be relatively old in age but from a drivers perspective it packs a massive punch. Every time I go for a drive it never fails to put a smile on my face.

My goal was to restore the car back to its best and after investing a considerable amount of time and money in the car I feel I’m just about there. There’s a couple of things I’d like to do in addition (retrimmed steering wheel for example and potentially a few engine mods) but other than that I’m made up with the finished article.

The car is completely dent, stone chip, and scratch free. This is a bold statement but I truly believe I have one of the best kept S2000s in the country.

I’ll add to the thread as and when I buy new bits and bobs for her…

Stunning. Many cars age quickly but our S2000s don't seem to. My 2002 still looks quite new - at least to me.

Lovely condition, I guess you are fairly local to me then? Bring it along to the next NW meet - normally the last Thursday each month, so 26th this month if Rhauri puts a post up - and Tatton so we can drool over it.

I currently live in Didsbury, south Manchester but most of my family and friends reside near Tarporley so fairly local.

I'll happily bring it along providing I'm free. It really sees daylight lol
