Default 1999 s2k rare ?

Is a 1999 s2k rare? I literally have only had mine a year but the time has come to sell up as im moving homes. I like to think of mine as straying away from original but in my eyes how the car should have been made

There would have been quite a few '00 cars built in '99 but they would've been sold as 2000 model year cars.

'99 was JDM only. All other global markets premiered as '00 units. Thats according to some of the books I have seen.

As Sam and DW noted there's no such thing as a 1999 model in most markets. What's the VIN? Model year will show there regardless of claims or desires. UK guys sometimes confuse tax year with model year. S2000 is not a coincidence,

Regardless very early cars are interesting.

It is actually a coincidence.

S500 = 500cc
S600 = 600cc
S800= 800cc
S2000 = 2 Liter, 2000cc

Don't forget the S660 = 660cc
