The thesis

The analogue roadster benchmark: 9,000-rpm F20C, perfect six-speed manual, no driver aids. Only ~7,900 UK RHD cars sold; ~4,300 remain on UK roads. Market has appreciated strongly since 2020 (median £24,725, highs ~£98k for ultra-low-mile GT Edition 100). Clean AP1s now £18–25k; facelift AP2 (glass window, refined) £22–30k. Hagerty notes S2000 prices rising as 'analogue modern classics' thin out. Still usable, reliable (Toyota-derived engine post-2004), and liquid globally.
