RA06 OMX - Does anyone know this car?

[rscott]

I'm considering purchasing this S2000 from a certain Honda dealer in Bury St Edmund's and wondered if anyone on here knew of or even used to own it? It's sporting a PH sticker on it..

It's spent most of its life in the Bury St Edmund's area - the same dealer has been servicing it for most of its life.

Trying to track down the previous owner because it has had an exhaust mod which makes it much louder (a bit too loud on dual carriageways) and I'd like more details to see about reversing the change.

Thanks - I actually tracked down the former owner on here and he's been most helpful. Confirmed that information the garage gave me didn't quite reflect reality..

Just the usual - apparently it was owned by a retired chap who wants something he can take his grandchildren out in. Not quite the same as the actual 27 year old previous owner... Also didn't mention the missing tonneau cover or toolkit, the brakes in need of replacement, etc.

Forgot the other great tales from the salesman.. Apparently only he and the sales manager are allowed to take customers out in the S2000 because it's so powerful and the sales manager doesn't like to because it's too quick. Was given stern warnings that it's far too easy to speed in it. Erm, I think it's far easier to hit silly speeds without noticing in my flying armchair (ok, turbo'd 2.8 Saab...) than in a soft top with a modified exhaust system.

Was given all sorts of warnings not to go above 4000 rpm unless pointing dead straight ahead, this is despite explaining that I'd driven V12 E-Types and an XKR in the wet before without any problem.. Supposedly this Honda is more of a handful than either of those!
