Launching for model year 2000, the first iteration of the S2000 roadster rode on a chassis called the AP1, leveraging a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. This example is finished in Suzuka Blue Metallic (B-513M), contrasted by a black vinyl power-retractable top with a glass rear window which was a new feature for the 2002 model year. Exterior trim includes chrome S2000 badging applied to the front fenders next to the side markers, chrome inner taillight rings, a trunk-mounted LED third brake lamp, and dual polished exhaust outlets.

Machined aluminum 16” five-spoke wheels are wrapped in Cooper tires with good tread life remaining. Suspension underpinnings are derived from double-wishbone architecture with electronically-assisted steering, leveraging a 50/50 weight distribution and staying compliant through the use of front and rear stabilizer bars. Stopping power comes from power-assisted disc brakes all the way around.

The interior is themed in all-blue, offering power-operated blue leather bucket seating for two, with matching materials for the center console, door panels, dash, and carpeting with roll hoops behind each seat. Design changes for 2002 included an upgraded AM/FM/CD radio with separate tweeters, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and a leatherette center console cover. Amenities include push-button start, aluminum pedals, air conditioning, cruise control, power convenience options, two-speed intermittent windshield wipers, and a rear window defroster. The seller has provided detailed images of the factory-applied VIN tags present in the door, hood, and trunk jambs.
