'99 S2000

[ST270]

Had the S about a month now, its the first Vtec car I have experienced and it is pretty addictive to say the least! The back to basics driving is great, agile and grippy chassis, front mid-engine layout gives a neutral feel when pressing on. Not had any hairy moments as yet (hope i don't) but am aware of the skittish reputation of the early cars!

Bit about the car;

UKDM S2k '99 2 owners from new (last since 2002) full H S/H, 56k, included red hardtop. Needed a new clutch so been replaced along with new front Bridgestones. Looked at quite a few, various age ranges but this one stood out in terms of condition / history & right price. It's only a weekend car so the Geo issues with these are not too prevalent (although polybushing is a future plan) So far though it drives spot on, so just enjoying it for now.

I'll give you a hand and post the missing link





Love s2000s but insurance is still too rape'y for me

[ST270]

Cheers for the link update! Yeah i did have some very dubious quotes but ended up on a classic policy 6k per year - insured with my old man on cover £370 for the year without any NCB for either of us. Pays to shop around it seems

Wow lovely car looks to be in great condition! What age are you if you don't mind me asking? That's a fantastic quote

[ST270]

Well we cheated a bit I'm 32 and my old man is 64 - we registered car to him hence the low price - however it cost nothing for me on a named basis so the £370 would be the same for my old man alone. This is without any NCD as he uses it on his daily car, but you do build up a second lot of NCD on the S too.

Congrats on the car. I've had mine for a whole 4 months and loving every minute of it.

However from what you've said about your insurance it almost sounds like fronting. Apologies if incorrect and I missed the bit where your sharing with your old man

[ST270]

Yeah they are a lot of fun. Its not fronting though, i bought the car with my old man - car is registered to him and he is insured as the principle owner/driver, car stays at registered keepers address so its all above board. I am genuine named driver status it just didn't cost anything to add me. Insurer is Classicline if anyone else needs quotes. The quotes i got with me as the owner and him named were 3 times this!
