Default Original manuals

Can anyone share resource information on owners manuals and other booklets that came with a new S2000 purchase? I am looking for the 'package' that came with these cars when originally purchased.
'07 GWP w/Red/Bk int. OEM hard top
Thanks guys! Spring is approaching! Enjoy the curves!

Are you looking for original hard copies or just the information contained in them? You can find electronic versions of owner's manuals, showroom booklets, factory brochures, and more on:

S2000.club [Anything and Everything S2K]

It's a great site organized by s2ki member @silenc3x

Also, have you checked the secret compartment? The previous owner of my car had it for 14 years and didn't know that the manuals and new car documentation were in there.

It's above the storage cubby between the seats. It lifts up with a latch on the front underside.

That's where I found all the original manuals and docs in a plastic bag with 15 years of dust on them.

Hello,

Other than behind the driver’s seat and under the windscreen, is there another?

Thank you!

Under the wind deflector is the one I was referring to. The previous owner told me he didn't get manuals when he bought the car 14 years prior. I found them in the original packaging in there.

The Secret Compartment is where my manuals were hidden as well. Compartment is under the little rear wind blocker between the roll hoops.

I found everything but the manuals in mine. All the window stickers and everything. I also came across the medical/cardio docs that seemed to spell the demise of the first owner which explained why the manuals (presumably in the house) never make it back to the car.

I downloaded the manual and printed it out in a neat, bound book at FedEx Office.

^Or the fuel door handle lol.

There were no brochures or other "swag" that came with the car as standard, just the usual Honda new-car manuals and warranty booklet. Dealers that had their own standard materials (logo pouches, first-oil-change-free coupons, etc) would include those too. Even as a buyer, if you wanted souvenirs, you had to swipe them from the showroom yourself.

One minor exception: For '00-'01, as I recall, Honda distributed SCCA membership applications to all new owners as a not-so-subtle way to say "hey! we made a sports car!". But I think these were sent by mail directly from American Honda, along with the usual new-owner quality survey.
