Introduced in 06, I heard somewhere (cant remember where) that it was a 1 year run but I think some 08 owners have it so I'm not totally sure on that one.
It was a one-year color - 06. Then Honda started selling the Mauve.
On another note - in 02 Honda had a Gioire model in two special edition colors - one was a dark blue - not sure if it was different from Navy, and the other was Maroon-ish. I don't know either color but the special edition S2000s were Japan only and had chrome side mirrors and six-spoke wheels among other touches.
Hey, thanks for the great post.
I just bought a UK spec 2003 AP1 in Monte Carlo Blue Pearl with paint code B66P, the vin plate confirms 2003 production, but your list suggest this colour stopped in 2002?
Did you ever manage to find how many were produced?
My cheat sheet shows Monte Carlo Blue Pearl B66P as AUS which I assume is Australia, not Austria since the car is RHD. But a RHD car intended for one country could easily been shipped to another.
I sometimes wonder if they painted some cars just to use up some paint "found in the back of the warehouse" intended for another car model, perhaps the NSX which was built in the same factory until the S2000 production moved in 2004.
One-off colors are interesting but not particularly valuable unless you're trying to compete the set of all model years and colors.
There's data in the library (here) showing US car colors and interiors by model year. Someone will link it within minutes. I've never found world-wide data.
According to that data I have a "rare" car: 1 of 272. (Yeah, it's 2006 Silverstone with an all Black interior.)
Hi SakiGT, Interesting that Honda's database does not contain anything related to Burgundy. I've also done a crosscheck to see if you can buy a paint stick for it - but no go, can't find it. I wonder if a reader on this post will pipe up if he/she has one. Maybe it was a Japan-only colour, who knows.
And yes, Canada renamed Chicane to Synchro, and America renamed Rio to Indy, but neither are recognized by the manufacturer.
And wow, this mauve has really grown on me - I love it!
Best to deal in Honda paint codes not names. Burgundy shows in three (3) markets on some lists: Burgundy (France), Deep Burgundy Metallic (Italy) and Mahogany Brown Metallic (Spain) are YR-654M.
That website for Honda touch-up paint lists 37 pages (553 colors) of Honda paint codes. Searching that site for S2000 specific colors for 2006 (my year) turns 10 colors including Brown Metallic (YR-564M) which isn't listed in any of my notes.
Enjoy the color choices. Pick one you like, repaint the car and then start a new thread discussing this rare color combination. Not enough coffee this rainy Sunday morning to search for color code stickers for the door jams.
