Honda, from 1999 until 2009. First shown as a concept car called
the SSM at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1995, the production version was
launched in April 1999 to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary.
The S2000 is named for its engine displacement of two liters,
carrying on in the tradition of the S500, S600, and S800 roadsters
of the 1960s. Officially two variants exist: the initial launch
model was given the chassis code AP1; though cosmetically similar,
the face lifted version, known as the AP2 in North America and
Japan, incorporated significant changes to the drivetrain and
suspension. Production of the S2000 ceased on August 19, 2009.The
Honda S2000 was notable for its exceptional specific power output
of about 124HP per liter, or about 2 HP per cubic inch, the highest
of any mass production, naturally aspirated engined car and has
since become a legitimate modern classic car, having seen a
significant appreciation in price for valued examples such as this
example with extraordinarily low miles. In collector circles the
most sought-after models are special edition productions such as
the CR (Club Racer) in the USA market but the standard AP1 and AP2
models have achieved collectible status as well. The 2004 model
S2000 underwent several significant changes. Production moved to
Suzuka. The new model introduced 17" wheels and Bridgestone RE-050
tires along with a retuned suspension to reduce oversteer. The
subframe also received a revision in design to achieve high
rigidity. In the gearbox the brass synchronizers were replaced with
carbon fibre. In addition, cosmetic changes were made to the
exterior with new front and rear bumpers, revised headlight
assemblies, new LED tail-lights, and oval-tipped exhaust pipes. For
the North American market, the updates also included the
introduction of a larger version of the F20C (with a designation of
F22C1); this larger engine gave the new model a chassis designation
of AP2. The S2000 has received much praise from critics and
motoring journalists and has received numerous favorable reviews
from such publications as Car and Driver etc which highlight the
high output of the engine, the high redline, the balanced handling,
and the smooth gearbox.The S2000 was the Cabrio of the Year at 1999
Geneva International Motor Show where Honda held the roadster's
world premiere.The S2000 was on Car and Driver's 10 Best list for
2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004.The S2000 was the highest-ranked model in
the J. D. Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability Study "Premium
Sports Car" class for 2004, 2006, and 2008 and consistently held
one of the top three positions.The S2000 was ranked number #1 in
the BBC Top Gear survey in 2003, 2005, and 2006.The S2000 was
ranked as "Best Affordable Sports Car" by U.S. News amp; World
Report in 2008 and 2000.The S2000 was on Edmunds Consumers' Most

years between 2000 and 2004.The F20C engine of the S2000 was one of
Ward's 10 Best Engines in 2000 and 2001. This is an absolutely
beautiful example, with the car obviously always being garaged with
no accidents and no rust and a clean CARFAX report and boasting all
its original factory accessories including spare wheel, jack and
tools. The car has as new and all original 'Berlina Black' factory
paint and the car has it's original factory Black leather interior
which is also in as new and all original condition throughout. The

through all the gears, a simply lovely car to drive and still
driving as the day it left the showroom floor when new.This is a

1985 now legendary and increasingly collectible 2005 Honda S2000 2
seater convertible roadster model - owned by obviously only one
very mature (driver/owners) since new with only some 4,683 original
miles and in this very striking original all Black color
