Is the Honda S2000 a good investment?

The thesis

One of the highest-revving production engines ever made (9,000rpm), paired with Honda's legendary reliability and a pure six-speed manual RWD chassis. Current median UK price around £24,500 with top examples at £38,000–40,000, fitting perfectly within budget. Values have appreciated steadily since 2020, particularly for unmodified examples, and millennial/Gen Z demand ensures staying power. GT Edition 100 run-out cars and genuinely stock examples command premiums. The S2000 ticks every analogue enthusiast box and has not yet run its appreciation cycle.
