Default opportunity?

So Ive come across an opportunity to buy a Type S Honda S2000, and Iv read that only 100 has been sold exclusively in Japan. Is that true? Also would it be worth buying it? Im not asking if It had problems should I get it, but would it be worth buying this specific type of s2k?

Yes, it would be worth looking into...

Are you in Japan? The Type S is pretty rare and would be worth looking into, but it was a Japan-only model, and its pretty easy to make a car look like a Type S.

From the looks and description it looks exactly like a RHD CR. Aren't they the same thing?

It's probably just the camera angle...but I LOVE the stance in that photo!

Yeah, there are a few differences, the most notable being the softop is still in the Type S. The suspension is a bit softer too I believe, but still stiffer than a normal S.

I'd say this would be a valuable car if you could get your hands on one.
