Vanishing Point

While the article doesn't mention the S2000 specifically, probably based on it's relative newness, it does mention the S500-S800.

I think the S2000 is far to plentiful and modern to be considered a true collectors car right now. I think it will be one day, but we're going to need another decade of people hacking up and crashing the cars before they become rare enough to to start really appreciating in value.

It will be interesting to see what happens.

I'm also curious to see how people perceive modified cars in the future as far as the collector demographic goes. I feel like specifically with the Japanese car market modifications are very common, and going forward the unmodified cars are going to be incredibly rare.

This will be where the collectibility of Japanese sports cars comes in going forward. The cars themselves are usually fairly common (compared to the Ferrari, Porsches, etc of the world), but finding an unmolested example is very rare.

That being said, modified cars will always be more accepted in the Japanese car market than in others, but ultimately they won't bring super-high prices.
