Default 2005 - vin says ap1

Hi,

New to the s2000 after a mk2 and mk3 mx5 (loved them both).

Loving the s2000 even more

My VIN states (as far as I can make out) that it's an AP1. I've found conflicting information on 'the google' that hasn't put my mind to rest that something is awry...

I thought a 2005 should be an AP2.

?

Thanks for any information.

Neil

All UK cars are AP1's.

AP2's are only in the US market which refers to the 2.2litre engine.

Sounds like I've made a common mistake then. I did search the forum and Google but didn't find the succinct answers that I've just got here.

Thanks again.
