This is a pretty cool video. Shows some of the production.

It gives me goosebumps thinking about the very last S2000 rolling through the factory.

This book is amazing. The price right now is ridiculous, but if you watch it, you can usually find one pop up for 60-80.

This is another book that I bought. It is a compilation of various magazine articles from the US and Europe

I'll agree with the above choice -- keep looking at used book sites and you'll find one at a reasonable price.

The prices on that link are waaaay out there! I guess I got lucky on my copy - $8 on eBay...

Either way - the book is very good and has a lot of interesting facts.
