SB is thrilled to bring to the platform this beautifully maintained and increasingly sought-after early AP1 Honda S2000, finished in Silverstone Grey with a burgundy soft-top and matching red leather interior. Launched to celebrate Honda’s 50th anniversary, the S2000 remains one of the most focused driver’s cars of its era. At its heart is the legendary F20C 2.0-litre naturally aspirated inline-four, an engine renowned for its motorsport-inspired engineering. Featuring VTEC variable valve timing, a high compression ratio of 11.0:1, and lightweight internals, it produces 240bhp and 153lb-ft of torque. These were quite astonishing output figures for a production 2.0-litre engine at the time, and still deeply impressive today. Power is sent to the rear wheels through Honda’s superb 6-speed manual gearbox, with its short, rifle-bolt shift action. Combined with a lightweight chassis, 50:50 weight distribution, double-wishbone suspension all round, and a low centre of gravity, the S2000 delivers a driving experience defined by precision, balance, and high-revving excitement. Performance remains brisk: 0–60 mph in around 6.0 seconds and a top speed of 150 mph. Inside, the car retains its original sporting character, with supportive red leather seats, an aluminium-trimmed gear knob, and the iconic digital dash. The Silverstone Grey paintwork pairs especially well with the burgundy roof and interior, giving this example a standout specification. With low mileage, four previous owners and comprehensive servicing, this S2000 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a clean, well-loved example of a modern classic that continues to appreciate in both reputation and value. Ready to be enjoyed as intended or cherished as part of a discerning collection. The seller, who's owned this car since 2019 is available to answer all questions via the Comments section below.
