Import a Honda S2000 from Japan
A 9,000rpm F-series VTEC, a slick 6-speed and near-perfect balance — the S2000 is the driver’s roadster. We source clean examples directly from Japan’s dealer-only auctions and handle everything through to your door.
The Honda S2000 is one of the purest driver’s cars Japan ever built — a front-mid-engined, rear-drive roadster with a screaming VTEC four and one of the best manual gearboxes ever fitted to a production car. Japan’s home market has the cleanest, best-kept examples, and as a licensed proxy buyer with access to 120+ auction houses, KMT Global finds you the right one, verifies its condition, and manages the purchase and export end to end.
You don’t need us to have one in stock. Tell us the generation and grade you want, and we bid on your behalf at true wholesale auction prices — no dealer markups, no hidden margins.
Which S2000 to import
There are two generations: the AP1 (1999–2003) with the 2.0-litre F20C revving to a 9,000rpm redline, and the AP2 (2004–2009) with the 2.2-litre F22C, which adds low-end torque and a slightly more forgiving power delivery. Both use a 6-speed manual and rear-wheel drive.
Early AP1s are prized for the high-revving F20C and the purity of the original setup; AP2s are easier to drive quickly on the road. Condition is everything on a roadster — we check the soft top, sills and service history alongside the official auction sheet before bidding.
Importing an S2000 to your country
For the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia the S2000 is right-hand drive from the factory and fits RHD markets directly — there is no age restriction in the UK or Ireland.
For the United States the 25-year rule applies: the earliest AP1 model years (from 1999) become eligible year by year. JDM cars are attractive because Japan’s examples are typically low-mileage and rust-free. Tell us the year you want and we’ll confirm its status.
Wherever you are, we handle the auction purchase, export documentation, de-registration and shipping, and walk you through what to expect at your end.
What it costs
Clean, unmodified S2000s — especially low-mileage AP1s — are appreciating, and price depends heavily on condition, soft-top health and originality. Tell us your budget and we’ll show you recent sold data and a realistic target range before you commit.
