The 4Runner is a dark gray. The s2000 is a dark silver. I won't be selling though. If anything, I'd wrap the s2000

By dark silver you mean bright silver. It looks like plain old bright silver to me.

It looks like, depending on the year, they sold S2000s in three fairly similar colors of silver/metallic gray, in order of light to dark: Sebring, Silverstone, and Chicane (which apparently some people call moonrock?).

Since Mike's is a 2001, it must be the silverstone, which is the middle of the darknesses.

Here's a picture of a Sebring (left) and Silverstone (right) next to each other.




Chicane was only offered for the final two years as a slightly darker replacement for Silverstone.

Well, if it's really a MY 2001, it's the one on the right. They didn't start making the one on the left until 2002.

His is definitely the Silverstone. It's what mine was. The Sebring silvers were slightly rarer, and the Chicanes were few and far between.

I always wanted a red one with tan/brown interior.

Or blue with tan/brown interior.

I'm fairly certain that they only ever made the tan interior with the white exterior. I've thought about trying to find someone with a white/tan car who wanted black interior and swap with them, but never actually looked into it.

MrH

I want the all red interior but those are tough to find

I thought there was a tan and red combo. Could have sworn I saw one like that for sale.

You have to preserve the car! They'll never make a car that good again. :cry:

Mike, I hope you hang on to this one for a long time. You're actually not an idiot and won't trash it like most ricers (including me... :mask: ) would.

Had my friend bought that car he would have thrown the soft top in the trash and thrown the radio and A/C out at the seller's house. :lol: :cry:

Now that the hard work of finding a good one has been done, it would not surprise me if one of us does buy eventually.

Closest I can find are people who did interior swaps or the Gioire special edition, which is really a purple, not a red, and they only made 300 of:





Sweet interior though:

It's an easy couple of lb you can chuck out, along with the speakers.

No way. I need mah tunes. I've considered adding weight to mine to make the stereo better, but I keep having more important things to put money towards.
