You clearly could produce something yourself with for example https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_History_Renderer

You should however note that the data for 2000 is the degenerate case and will not take a lot of work to convert.

I believe Simon forgot some irony tags in his reply. OSM was founded on 1 July 2004. An OSM base layer for 2000 will be quite easy to create: it's simply white space.

3	Martijn van Exel did something like this here. I believe that code is here (you'd need to change some hardcoded addresses though). answered 15 Dec '14, 19:00 SomeoneElse ♦ 36.9k●71●370●866 accept rate: 16%
