From Evo test of MY02 model...(on the website)

This car is a personal import that cost Chris Metcalfe (friend of, but no relation to, Harry) an incredible £22,500. He can't believe his luck. 'I knew you guys at evo didn't rate the S2000 dynamically but driving it back over some great roads I thought "Hang on, this is pretty bloody good!" I was wondering if I'd lost the plot!'

He hadn't, and a bit more pressure on the Honda UK press office finally turned up some quite significant chassis changes. Essentially they are: thinner anti-roll bars, beefed up springs, re-calibrated dampers and 'matured steering feel'. The aim of the mods is 'more linear response', which we take to mean more predictable handling.

15k? How about £500! You can get the above for anything up to a massive £1400 for a top nick one. Ultimate convertable, the doors come off and the windscreen folds down. This thing will go anywhere, totally reliable and wont lose a penny upon resale. Pennies to run, cheap road tax and insurance. Just dont expect to do too many miles on a motorway
