I suspect it will, and one small step in that direction is to be found in the December edition (due out Nov.5th) of 'Classic and Sports Car' magazine which will include a future entitled 'Honda S2000 Buyers Guide - Anatomy of a Hi-tech Roadster'.

I'll be buying it !

I think it will too, but i think good clean un-modifed version will be worth more.

We have a classic Subaru Impreza Turbo and it's probably the only one i know of that is totally standard, i think it would be worth more than a tricked out one where your not sure what they've done to it...

Worth a read - thanks.

And I'll be keeping mine (unsullied) for as long as I can still get in and out of it...

A few more winters and I think the "population" will be low enough to make good ones hard to find.
Then it will start holding value and become a modern classic
IMHO

It was scary that they had an MX-5 in Motor Klassik. Now an S2000 in C&S!

My life already!

It is certainly the way to go - the more original the better.

All of the most sought after examples of other more established 'classics' are the unsullied, 'as they left the factory' cars.
