Overview

By the time the S2000 Type S arrived, Honda had quietly perfected what was already one of the most engaging driver’s cars ever built. Sharper, more composed and just that bit more focused, the Type S feels like the S2000 finally coming of age, it’s still raw and high revving but with a maturity that makes it an even better car to drive hard.

Finished in black, this example keeps things subtle on the outside, but underneath it delivers everything the Type S is known for. The condition tells a strong story too, presenting as a well cared for car that has clearly been looked after properly rather than simply used.

It’s exactly the kind of example buyers are now chasing as the S2000 continues its move firmly into modern classic territory.
