Most of these look very pricey.

Ive heard good things about Cleave salvage though if your after a bit of pranged exotica.

Mate of mine picked up a 993 C2 from there about 3 years ago and had it repaired, resprayed and retrimmed to a better than new condition for about 40K all in.

Would have been a lot less if he hadnt gone for a very expensive full-leather-everything retrim, a chromaflair paintjob, new alloys etc...

Lol, see that S2000 - that's mine that is (was).

Result of a patch of black ice and a bank (the grassy type you roll down, not the type that charges you £25 for a letter).

£12,845 is waaay to much - the ad makes it sound like panel damage - the entire windscreen rollbar needs cutting out and a new one welding in according to the Honda Electronic service manual. I was quoted £14k parts alone (bringing the cost of buying a written off S2000 and repairing it to more than the price of a new one).

Wouldn't mind the engine for my Locost though

Got mine from QS, need to have a haggling head on, they'll do a deal on parts too

But be very carefull, the bloke who runs it either knows fk all about cars (unlikely) or will say anything to get a sale
