YELLOW S202 JAPAN
There is a yellow S202 for sale in Japan
Would someone on here please purchase and bring to the UK?
Looks like a lovely example and as far as I can tell, the only original parts missing are the wheels.
A little pricey maybe but you pay a premium for that yellow paint.

Get yours wrapped in that colour
edit: just saw that you said yours has less than 9000kms so maybe a waste of money as it seems you never use it lol

It's nice and I do like them... especially in yellow... but I wouldn't want to own it... or any 'Special car' for that matter, as I wouldn't be able to enjoy it... I'd always have it in the back of my mind that I need to take it easy so as not to wreck it... where's the fun in that... sooner have a modded Bug STI and rag the 4r$e off it without a care in the world... and still have a large wad of cash left over to fix it when it breaks.

Horses for courses, but I have more fun in cheap 500 quid bangers than just about anything else, warp speed is over rated and nasty when it goes wrong.

It was more directed at crashing it hence my saying "wreck"... engines, gearboxes can be fixed... but crash barrier at 130mph or sticking it on it's roof... I'd be gutted at £25/30k where as £6/7k for a Bug STI it's not such a big deal.

Don't buy something that you can't afford to fix.
Then again it doesn't mean that you drive more irresponsibly when you drive a cheap car does it?
A car is to be driven not parked in the garage as you say.

And that's just the beginning... Alarm, remap, underseal, full fluids and cambelt, new tyres... maybe a full detail... easily sink another couple of grand into it... before we get to the part about all the rubbers and mounts being 15yrs old... it's going to be a right little money pit for the first 6 months... more so if you don't DIY.

I'm too mature for irresponsible driving... did that when I was a lad in the 80's when there were a lot less cars on the road... thankfully.
It's a personal thing I suppose, a bit like owning a 22B or Cosworth, it's not just about the money... although that is still a big part of it, because I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but the iconic status of such cars makes me feel a certain amount of responsibility not to bin it... so I'd go easy on it and probably only polish it and pootle about in it.

I drive a modified 500 Abarth (KW v3s, Quaife, Brembos) and was curious to test drive the new 180 Competizione.
The salesman called me a few days later and I told him that after the initial excitement wore of, the new car (costing x3 more than what they wanted to pay for mine as a part-ex) wasn't a x3 better car. Needless to say I didn't receive any reply.
It's great when with a "shed" you can have as much fun, if not more, and be faster on bends compared with someone that drives a x5 more expensive car, especially on track
