Beautiful car and view. I think your color combo is Zircon Blue.

Curious what the little badge or thing-a-ma-bob is right above the side oval blinker.

Later,

Thanks guys......

The S Types are truly a timeless look! Simply beautiful.

The color is silver. The badge thingy is a Mina Gallery Badge.

Continue to enjoy it, Rick. Hard to believe we will have had Jan's S-Type for 3 years come December 19th. Nothing quite like stealing a vehicle this nice for "Honda money" and then being able to keep it in top shape yourself, is there....

I've seen that car in person and it's spotless - a really well kept S if I ever saw one. If there is an S Type photo needed for say, a Wikipidia page, then Rick's S would be a great choice.

I must ask, do you drive this car?

Rick,

It doesn't get any better than that! I've had mine about 2 1/2 years now and I continue to be impressed with the car. I don't think there's a better combination of performance and style out there for the money. Like Jon said, Honda money and Jaguar performance. The only differences we have are that mine is zircon and I prefer a full-bodied ale as opposed to a light beer. This may be my last car if I play my cards right. I'm in my 60's and hopefully I can keep it until the state says I'm too old to drive.

Mike

Looking good Rick. I have to do a full detail to mine soon. It has been sitting for the last three weeks cause I bought a new toy for getting around and saving miles and wear on my STR. The bad thing is mine has to be a bad weather car since I got a motorcycle so really the only time I have to drive the STR is in bad weather or if I'm grocery shopping or laundry day and the occasional date. Gave it a nice bath today though so it still gets some love.

Same Vance580, my 117K mile 03 STR is in the shop for not only an ECU tune but the same shop is detailing her for the first time since I got her at 85K miles....shame on me. I plan on keeping her for the long run.

My midnite STR got a claybar and wax yesterday. Smooth as a baby's butt now. She'll be hanging out in the garage all week since I am traveling - I miss it already!!
