Is the Honda S2000 a good investment?
AP2 facelift (UK spec, 2004–2009)
The thesis
All UK S2000s are RHD and retain the legendary 2.0 F20C revving to 9,000 rpm. The 2006+ facelift AP2 (late-build with VSA, drive-by-wire) offers the best daily usability while preserving the raw, high-revving character that made the S2000 a cult icon. Current UK market sits at £12–22k for good examples; the car has appreciated modestly but not run hard. Rust and modification history are the main value detractors. One of the best NA manuals under £25k.
