well...........was getting bored of the Octavia after owning it for nearly 3 years so wanted a change. Did look into a lot of different cars but finally settled for a 2 owner S2000 GT '05. Ticks all the boxes for now. Love the handling of it and the noise reminds me of the old civic. Proper happy with it. Spent yesterday cleaning it up properly, the previous owner was a Grandma so although it had been well looked after it hadn't been loved.

Love these cars! My mate had a red one a few years ago and all he did was lower it on some white comps and it looked amazing. Always wanted to buy one but never got round to it, will be keeping an eye on this project

Lovely! Always had a soft spot for these, especially with a hardtop. One of my old ICT teachers used to have a dark grey one with red leather
