CTR gearbox is fantastic, seats are pretty special, i drive my mates frequently not much in it until silly speeds then they will pull!
On the subject of the gearbox, I think I have mentioned before that my mate met up with the person that bought his CTR (that he px'd with Honda for an S2k) and it turned out the gearbox went on it not long after he bought it - this on a car that had about 35k on the clock. I believe Honda paid to repair it which was lucky for the kid.
This was the mate that paid £11k for the car from Honda Bristol and got £8k when he px'd it for an S2k - having only had the CTR 3 months and one or two thousand miles. Thats what I call depreciation. This was despite paying over the odds for the S2k so the poor px was hardly compensating for a stunning deal on the next car. Big advert for Honda Bristol there.
I'd pay £8k for a three year old CTR but only from a dealer with a dealer warranty as I have seen the problems my mate had with his. Indeed I heard through the grape vine that an ex work mate of mine blew the engine on his.
I'd pay £6k for a similar aged 182 once they get that old and only then if it had 20k on the clock and a FDSH.
