[quote name='RED MX5' date='Jan 29 2009, 05:55 PM'] The AP1/AP2 designation seems to have been used inconsistently from one market to the next.

I know F20C/F22C are engines codes.

If there was a thread with further clarification, or if someone knows if european vin's specify AP1 or AP2, I would be very grateful for this information.

Back on topic: The car is hardly the ultimate edition...but I guess it is still better than the RJ edition which was an even bigger joke.
I have a european s2000 2004 and it is an AP1 and has AP1 in the VIN.

It's rather ironic, but the web site that reported the S2000 Ultimate Edition also has an article below the photo gallery entitled "Special Edition cars prove worse at resale" which reports on a Kelly Blue Book study of 14 special edition models produced after 2001.

As you can all see from the more informed comments here, the AP1/AP2 and F20C/F22C issue is not nearly as simple as it can seem at first. Whatever you think AP1 and AP2 means, there is an S2000 being sold somewhere in the world that will prove your theory wrong. All one can say for sure it that the usage is inconsistent. To be exact, you have to identify both the designation and the DM (domestic market, like JDM, NADM (north america), EUDM, and so on. Otherwise it's ambiguous.

It's different with the engines, becasue F20C and F22C clearly and always identify the 2.0l and 2.4l engines respectively.

Wow, the F22C is 2.4L? To think I've ignorantly assumed it's 2.2L for the past 5+ years!
