Over £3,000 worth of chassis stiffening improvements added by previous registered keeper
Major suspension service and poly bushes fitted all round
The Appeal
The Honda S2000 is a true icon of Japanese engineering, known for its high-revving V-Tec engine and balanced handling. Offering 124hp per litre, or about 2hp per cubic inch, the S2000 had the highest output of any naturally aspirated production car in the world at the time. It's a perfect example of a modern classic - stylish, remarkably engineered and impressively capable.
This particular example has been restored over the past 3 years, and now comes to us with an extensive service history and only 2,000 miles covered since its last service. The sale also includes a rare Mugen hard top - which often sells alone for a value of £2,000 - and the previous registered keeper has added over £3,000 worth of chassis stiffening improvements.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
