Not really, just calling you on your usual woke I'm offended ********Talk about an overreaction to being called fragile

Tried that. Works fine in snow, less so unless you're at motorway speeds.
I'll stick with what Honda called it.

I'll stick with the definition of what a roadster was coined to mean, along with the definition of a convertible
If they make a S2K without a folding convertible roof, with a roll bar hoop like a Shelby Cobra, then I'm happy to call it a roadster

Going to give it a few weeks then check the for sales again. My one isn't out there yet.
I did enquire about that lovely white one but I think for me £20k, with 5 (then 6) owners and the higher tax bracket make it less appealing.
How often do good Yellow ones pop up?
The dream is Yellow, or off white.
Followed by red or silver

Yellow ones a few and far between, you could be waiting quite awhile on that.
I also don't think 5 - 6 owners is that bad in 2024.

I mean, it's not. But for 30k-ish miles it just seemed a bit high turn over of users to me? I'm assuming people buy these with the higher tax rate and sell them on once that gets a bit much maybe?
I did ask some more questions with the intention of viewing but haven't heard back since. It was potentially sold at the point that I made initial contact anyways
People buy them as weekend / summer cars, don't do loads of miles, then move on after a few years
Even if it is a high turnover of owners for the mileage, what difference does it make? A high number of owners != a bad car. You could have a 1 owner car that's had its head kicked in from cold and never cooled down, or a 10 owner car that's been appreciated & loved by all owners who just fancied a roadster and then sold up when the winter came.

I didn't say that
And I agree with the points made, just stood out as odd (to me) is all vs the almost top tier asking price.

Yeah it's definitely one of the better examples up at the moment.

I wouldn't be afraid of that number of owners. It's not like it's a Ford Focus where each owner treated it worse than the last then moved it on when something broke.

May give the seller a nudge see if it did sell to the other guy that viewed it before I made contact. You have put my mind at ease

Not one I can stretch to, but this is a beauty

Has anyone seen an example like this sell for this kind of price? Mines done 50k miles now and has the better tax bracket but still has the wire throttle… if I cleaned it up rather than daily drove it I wonder if it would sell for a profit over what I paid.

It's an Edition 100 so will carry a price premium but still, £28k is pushing it.
