An excellent example of the celebrated high-revving roadster, which has covered just 17,178 kilometres to date. Under the bonnet is a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre inline four with Honda’s VTEC variable valve timing system, paired with an engaging six-speed manual transmission and a Torsen limited slip differential. First registered in November 1999, this original Australian-market S2000 has had four known owners, with the seller asserting that it has always been garaged and not driven in the rain. This S2000 is finished in the vibrant hue of Formula Red over a black leather-trimmed interior, offset by red floor mats. It rides on the correct set of 16-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in the original Bridgestone Potenza S-02 tyres from 1999. Factory-fitted equipment includes air conditioning, ABS, an electrically operated soft top roof, push-button start, and a multi-disc CD changer. The car will be accompanied by its original owner’s manual and purchase invoice inside an S2000-branded folder, jack and super lock, and all available service history. The seller is not aware of any bodywork damage. The Formula Red paintwork is described as being in excellent overall condition, with the only noted marks being two small flaws on the driver’s side of the front bumper, as well as minor blemishes on one of the wheel arches and the passenger-side door handle. The convertible roof is in great shape, though the flexible plastic rear window has become slightly cloudy with age. Inside, the cabin is particularly smart, with some general use-related creasing on the driver’s seat bolsters, but no visible signs of wear elsewhere. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. The vehicle’s most recent roadworthiness test was performed in May 2022, resulting in a clean pass. This S2000’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out at 16,750km by AAA Ace Auto, performing an oil, oil filter, and air filter change. Prior to this, the car was serviced in April 2014 at 14,052km, and in October 2010 at 10,953km. The cam belt has not yet been replaced.
