CAR OVERVIEW
Honda S2000 Type S 2008
Overview
Honda S2000 Type S 2008 finished in Blue with a dark blue soft top and rare grey and gold fabric interior showing 61,883 km / 38,452 miles. This Grade 4.5 example with B grade interior is exactly the sort of S2000 enthusiasts search Japan for, clean, well cared for and tastefully modified without losing the original spirit of the car.
This AP2 Type S benefits from a number of desirable upgrades including aftermarket front aero, rear spoiler, aftermarket alloy wheels, HKS suspension and a SARD exhaust system. The overall look suits the S2000 perfectly and gives the car a sharper, more aggressive appearance while still feeling period correct and true to Honda’s legendary roadster.
The auction inspector notes only minor cosmetic imperfections including A1 scratches, minor interior wear and some underbody paintwork. Overall, this is a very clean and highly appealing example that ticks all the boxes for buyers looking for a properly sorted S2000 from Japan.

Why The Honda S2000 Is So Loved Worldwide
The Honda S2000 remains one of the most celebrated Japanese sports cars ever built because it delivers one of the purest driving experiences available at any price point. Lightweight, rear wheel drive, naturally aspirated and fitted with one of the greatest VTEC engines Honda ever produced, the S2000 has become a true cult classic worldwide.
What makes these cars so special is how alive they feel to drive. The steering is razor sharp, the chassis feels perfectly balanced and the engine rewards drivers who push it all the way to the redline. Few modern sports cars deliver this level of connection between driver and machine.
Japanese market S2000 examples are especially desirable because many have covered lower mileage, avoided harsh weather conditions and benefited from Japan’s strict vehicle inspections. Buyers importing directly from Japan often secure cleaner and better preserved examples than cars found elsewhere in the world.
This particular Type S has been tastefully modified and will appeal strongly to buyers who appreciate subtle upgrades that enhance the look and driving experience without ruining the original character of the car.
