Low Mileage, Senior Owned, Meticulous Care, Driver Friendly Top Down Fun, Mostly Original, Power Top, Boot, 230 Photos,
Current owner bought (private sale) from the original owner 9 years ago and approx 40 miles away from his home. He based the purchase decision not so much on the performance aspect of the S2000 but, on the reliability of this model. This particular car seemed to have always been extremely well cared for and not used competitively or driven by a younger driver. Current owner estimates to have had about 3 oil changes in the just over 3000 miles he has driven the car. Title indicates “Actual” mileage and we have copies of both owners titles.

Why is the S2000 so special? (per Google)
The S2000 had the highest specific output of a normally aspirated production car engine in the world. The engine gives out 124 hp per liter, and remember, this is without a turbo or supercharging. Coupled to the engine is that truly beautiful manual transmission.
Honda’s claim to fame was this engine produced about 2 HP per cubic inch / record for naturally aspirated engine

DETAILS OF CAR:
Paint
Painted surfaces all seem very shiny, smooth, and all painted surfaces seem to match well as is typical with new vehicles.
No imperfections or orange peal noticed on any panels
Original owner indicated the only paint and body repair was a slight bump from another car in the driveway at a family gathering. The rear bumper was replaced and repainted with blending into the rear quarters.
Current owner has not had any paint or body work performed or, any accidents.
Being very critical, when pointing an extremely bright LED flashlight into the quarters (when in a darker room), you will detect a little more deep metallic in repainted areas.
Close inspection will show a couple nicks on the hood, a few light chips in the bumper below headlights and lower spoiler edge has a 1-2 inch hair line scratch. Also a couple nicks right behind front tires on edges (see pics)
Body
Body is beautifully straight. The fits of the hood, trunk, doors, fuel door, all seem uniform and factory correct. (see pics)
No dents or scrapes could be found
Current owner indicated he did have a slight door ding removed by paint-less removal and I could not find the spot
Bright work
All components listed below are about as close to new condition as you could imagine.
No pitting, scratches, damage, or flaws exist
Consists of front & rear Honda emblems, S2000 emblems (L & R), tail pipe extensions, washer nozzels, wiper arms, and windshield surround of black
Glass
Glass all appears to be original and the windshield and 2 side windows all have the Honda Logo. All 3 appear to be tinted
Glass is all in almost new condition with the windshield only finding 1 pin head sized nick about 2” down from left top corner. (see pics)
We don’t see any DE-lamination, bulls eyes, wiper scratches or cracks
Magnetic Paint Gauge
All body panels appear to be of a steel material except the bumpers and hood
A couple material readings were taken on each steel panel Doors and fenders measured in the area of 7-9 mils. Rear quarters measured in the 10-14 mils range that more or less confirmed a typical professional refinish.
Convertible Top
Top is Power Operated with only 2 windshield latches to release and push a button / Boot use is optional
Material is supple and has good color with even coloring. Stitching is in good condition with no fraying
Owner indicated it is original top per original owner.
Rear plastic window is in great condition for it’s age but has a little clouding to it (see pics)
Includes a very quick and easy to install original Honda BOOT that can or not be used per owners preference

Tires do not show any damage or cracking on outside edges

What appears as a clear coat on wheels, has some light fine scratches from typical washings and would possibly improve with a little effort, clear coat compound and wax
Engine Bay
Appears to be just as originally designed without any alterations or modifications noticed.
Battery and other maintenance items may have been updated as required
This is just how this engine area has been kept (has not just been detailed)

Note- (Interior is a deep black coloring but pictures in sunlight have a blueish tint to them)
Interior mostly looks about as close to new as you could imagine
Coloring and materials show little exposure to sun
Gauges and knobs show virtually no wear
Note- there are actually 2 storage compartments between seats (upper by wind deflector & lower)
Being critical, there is a slight scuff on the back side of the passenger seat (must fold forward to see it)

Test Drive
Chad drove the car several miles around town and back to storage with the owner riding along.
Engine starts quickly with button / very smooth on light acceleration but comes on strong when you want it (I never took it over 4-5k)(can’t imagine 8-9k RPM)
Brakes stopped us quickly and precise without any noticed pulling or pulsation
Clutch and shifter seemed very user friendly and easy to master. Short throw and smooth effortless linkage made driving a joy. Only got to use up to 4th but owner assured me all 6 speeds work fine. I also used reverse.
Steering was very smooth and responsive
The owner and I believe the car is operating properly just as it was designed to
A seat belt retractor campaign is available for the car (see pics)
