2001 Honda

I’ve been trying to avoid this but I’m going to have to put the S2000 up for sale.

I purchased the car last October and have loved driving it since, but due to health reasons I need to get something a little easier to get in and out of.

It has been S2KUK owned since 2004 when it was purchased as a Honda Approved Used car. Since then it has had 3 owners (including me) who have all been “enthusiasts”. The last owner spent a large amount of money on the car during his ownership fixing most of the well-known issues and getting the car mechanically spot-on.

The basics:

Monte Carlo Blue

April 2001 (‘Y’ reg)

86,500 miles (used daily so will slowly increase)

Full service history including old MOTs

Areas needing improvement:

* In need of a professional detail. The paintwork has swirls, scuffs and scratches in line with a 13 year old car.

* The bonnet has been sprayed in the past and the match is not perfect (only noticeable at certain angles under artificial/poor light). There are two sections of overspray & a scratch where someone has opened the bonnet with the wipers up.

* There are a few chips on the windscreen

* There is a small patch of rust at the bottom of the driver's side rear arch. This has been treated to prevent further ingress but will need further work to correct fully.

* Only one key fob

* Slight knock from drivers rear suspension when driving slowly on uneven roads. Has been diagnosed as spring rattle by one specialist (Apparently a GAZ ‘feature’) and possible top mount by another. Both confirmed safe and just annoying.

I think that’s about it. There is quite a lot of information above, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to give me a ring or if you’re local pop round for a chat.

The car is located in Tonbridge, Kent - about 10 minutes from the M25.

Test drives can be arranged but only once proof of Fully Comprehensive insurance is shown & copy of driver’s license taken.

I'm looking for £5,500 no offers. I'm not looking to make a profit from selling the car but at the same time my heart doesn't want to sell, so I won’t taking any silly low-ball offers.

EDIT 19/03/2014::

If anyone would like the car (almost) back to standard then I can do this if a reasonable deposit is paid..

This will remove:

Modifry dash bracket

GAZ coilovers (replaced with used standard items)

Ultra racing 6 point front lower brace

Cusco (copy) front upper brace

K&N FIPK Induction kit (replaced with OEM airbox)

And will include a fresh geo set up

Thanks for looking
