Our objective is simple - to market and sell the best NSXs in the world. This normally means standard, original cars. But occasionally a personalised car comes up that, on the whole, is better than the original car. This is it.
Many NSXs have been ruined by horrendous body kits, inappropriate ‘tuning’, and cheap suspension that spoils the ride and makes the handling worse. Not in this case.
Over his fourteen year custodianship, the owner has spent tens of thousands enhancing the car and adding sensible upgrades. The result is a bespoke NSX that has been a joy to own. It has always been garaged and rarely taken out in the rain. This is a rare opportunity to buy a perfect, corrosion free, NSX and to reap the benefit of the previous owner’s time, enthusiasm, dedication and financial investment.

We are an NSX specialist. Today we have seventeen NSXs on our premises – here for service, repairs, restoration, or for sale. Other than at an owners’ club meeting, you will not see as many NSXs in one place anywhere else in the world.
We always have the best selection of classic NSXs for sale. We pride ourselves on selling only the best cars. If you are considering buying an NSX, this is why you should buy from Plans:
The problem with the usual “motor trade” is their fundamental business model: Most dealers will try to buy as cheap as possible; do the minimum work on the car - usually focussing on the cosmetic appearance - and sell for as much as possible. If anything goes wrong with the car they will deal with the consequences later.
We avoid this. We are primarily NSX enthusiasts and pride ourselves in dealing with more NSX's than anyone outside of Japan. Every NSX we sell we bring up to our very high standards. We guarantee that the car is as good as it can be: original, cosmetically excellent and mechanically faultless.
It’s good for sellers: They can relax in the knowledge that we can add value (the cost of our work is offset by the increased selling price); we deal with everything associated with the sale; and (because we do all the work before the sale) there will be no comeback.
It’s good for buyers: They can buy with confidence. Not only we can demonstrate several different NSXs for sale in the same place, we can guarantee to offer the best NSXs, with full transparency. We don’t hide anything. We are marque specialists and know the cars inside-out.
Here is a perfect example of our approach:
This NSX - It’s one of three similar spec cars we have for sale: A 1993 Manual Coupe in the classic Formula Red with black leather. It has covered 56,192 miles from new. The previous owner kept it for seventeen years. In between being professionally stored, it has been properly maintained with an excellent Honda main dealer service history. We have copies of all invoices and MOT certificates.
This car has been taken on consignment from the owner. He is an NSX enthusiast and has both bought and sold many NSXs with us.
We have just carried out a full, detailed health-check inspection. We pointed out every fault, however minor. The owner has instructed us to do everything on the list. This includes an engine-out refresh, check over, cam belt service and restoration. Unlike almost any other classic supercar, the result is an NSX that’ll be a joy. Easy to drive, easy to own, reliable, dependable, not ostentatious, just perfect.

What makes someone buy something and then keep it for twenty-five years?
In today’s consumerist, disposable society of in-built obsolescence, this is an even more interesting question.
I’m not a person who has ever spent a moment’s thought on brand loyalty. I’m not loyal to brands. I wouldn’t buy the latest Ferrari, Porsche or Prada jacket just because of the label or the badge. I don’t think of brands as defining my identity. It’s just not how I view the world.
I’d like to think that the type of person that buys and keeps a Honda NSX shares my view. Brands are a triumph of marketing over design and engineering. Brands play on our emotions rather than our needs. It’s products - and good design - that matter, not brands.
The Honda NSX is simply a brilliant product. Reliable and dependable over the long haul. Excellent but understated. Classy but not pretentious. Never ostentatious but not anonymous. Now I’m getting emotional - but for the right reasons.
Kazuo Shimizu, the Japanese racing driver and motoring journalist, said: ‘I recommend any new owner to get to fully understand this machine and really discover the subtleties of its performance. This is a car that will only reveal itself to you slowly, but it’s definitely worth investing time in. A lifetime later, you’ll still be having fun discovering new things about the NSX.’
That’s why the owner of this car bought it new from Rowe’s Garage Truro on the 16th August 1991 and kept it for the next twenty-five years. Since then it has had two other owners. We have sold the car each time.
It is a five-speed manual in the classic Formula Red, black roof and black leather interior.
It has covered 57,576 miles and has a full Honda service history, including three cam-belt changes. It has nineteen Honda main dealer stamps in the service book and we have a file with invoices and all MOTs. Last year we carried out a full service inspection and fixed anything that needed doing. It is completely original, un-modified and has possibly the best provenance of any NSX we have seen.
If you are a slave to brands, buy a Ferrari. If you want a brilliant car, that will be a joy to own, then buy this.

We have just taken in this 1992 NSX Coupe. It was first registered in Japan on 1st September 1992 and imported into the UK 1st October 2015 by it’s current UK owner. The owner has a close links with Japan and hence imported one of the best NSXs we have seen. It’s perfectly original with the benefit of the later 16”/17” wheels; and upgraded modern stereo. It is in remarkable condition. The paintwork is flawless, the interior excellent, and the underside is completely corrosion-free. It looks like it’s done 8,6000 miles, not the actual miles of 86,000 (137,000km). It has done only 1,500 km since being in the UK.
It has a fully marked-up Japanese service book and Japanese inspection records. There is an inch thick file of Japanese invoices. We have the original auction sheets too, showing no crash history, and above average condition.
It had a timing belt service (by a Honda main dealer in UK) on 3rd November 2015 at 116,457km. Previously the timing belt was changed in Japan at 88,676km. We have all the UK MOT certificates showing no advisories.
Have given it our usual thorough, NSX-specific check over and and annual service and can confirm everything (with the exception of the Japanese stereo) works as it should and is in above average condition. Underside is perfect, with no corrosion. No evidence of accident damage.
It needs to be seen to be believed.

First registered in Germany on 9th March 1992, this is a very rare genuine European specification Left-Hand-Drive Honda NSX (as opposed to an Acura from the USA). Registered in the UK on 10th February 1998 by the current owner.
Having been in dry, indoor storage for several years, we have just completed a full check-over, service (including a cam belt and water pump replacement), and brake and ABS fluid change, etc.
Everything works as it should, including air-con and Bose Hi-Fi. It is full ready to use and to enjoy.
The car has been properly looked after. Before going into storage, it was used as a second or third car and for trips between Devon in the UK and Germany. Having covered 157,500km (98,500 miles), the car is in very good, original condition and drives very well.
We have replaced the coolant pipes, radiator and have fitted a new battery. It has recently had a new clutch, oil sump and stainless steel brake lines. The car is available with the original wheels (that been freshly refurbished and new tyres fitted) or aftermarket 16”/17” wheels.
Apart from an aftermarket upgraded exhaust silencer (making the car sound better), the car is completely original and unmodified.
The car has a thick document file with the original German handbook , the original German and current UK registration documents, stamped service book showing services in the UK and Germany, many invoices and receipts, and two sets of original keys.
Sale to any other country is no problem and we can help with registration in the EU.
£45,000 (Euro 51,000)

Honda NSXs will never go down in value. If you have admired the thinking man's Ferrari, now is the time to buy.
Envisioned by Soichiro Honda; handling developed by Ayton Senna; owned by Gordon Murray, Ron Dennis, Rowan Atkinson and Jenson Button to name but four.
It's a sports car with usability and practicality at the heart of its ethos, but still a special occasion when you drive one.
This NSX is a 1991 Manual, in the classic red with black roof. UK supplied. Over it’s 28 year life, It has covered 121,000 miles, with eight owners. That’s not unusual for an NSX. With Honda reliability and durability, high mileage (as long as, like this one, it is supported by a full documented service history) is not a problem.
This particular car has been sold by us three times. It's nice when that happens as we have a much better appreciation of the condition of the car and its reliability and quality. Its previous owner, a fastidious car collector, has spent much time looking after and cleaning this treasured possession, lovingly caring for it. The car is faultless; looks like it's done half the miles shown on the odometer; and will be a joy to own.

The NSX is an appreciating classic that is unusual because in its day it was the only true sports car available as an automatic. In 1991, when this car was new, the manual was £55,000 in the UK and the automatic gearbox was a £3,000 option. That's the equivalent of £117,000 now.
This NSX 3.0ltr 4-speed Auto is the classic Formula Red with black leather. It has just been imported into the UK and we have fully converted it to UK specification, including MPH speedometer, rear fog light, UK FM band stereo, and we have removed the speed limiter. It has a new MOT with no advisories, a new cam-belt service, and a UK registration.
New in 1991, it has covered only 56,800 km (35,500 miles) – and the condition reflects the low mileage.
It has sparkling Formula red paintwork (with the later colour coded roof, that was an optional extra in Japan) and excellent black leather interior.
It is in original, standard specification, and is available with the Team Dynamics (18”) wheels or the original equipment wheels, as shown in the last two photos (at extra cost).
If you are looking for a classic car that you can use either everyday or just on special occasions; is easy to drive; will be reliable; and will not rot away; then this is the perfect solution!

The new NSX (designed and built in Marysville, Ohio, United States) comes with lots of marketing claims of 'Honda DNA'. We were sceptical. We first saw it at Geneva motorshow back in 2016. The spec was impressive – a mini Porsche 918. But was the new NSX really and NSX?
Well, three years later, we think yes. There are three things that both the new and the old NSX have in common:
1) Both cars make a statement about what a Honda sports car is and should be: The technology in the classic NSX was ground-breaking in its day – the world's first all aluminum car; the world's first four channel ABS, the world's first fully automatic climate control; etc etc. The technology in the new NSX is equally impressive: The twin-turbocharged 3.4-litre V6; the nine speed gearbox; the high-tech materials; the torque vectoring using the twin electric motors at the front; third generation magnetic ride dampers; Direct Yaw Control, fly-by-wire braking; all of which combined make a heavy car feel much lighter and more nimble than it should. Like the old NSX: forget the numbers, just drive.
2) Both cars go slowly very well: A classic NSX drives at 10mph with perfection - smooth, easy, comfortable. But the new one surpasses that. When we drive the car the single most impressive thing is the 'quiet mode'. I just love it. I think of turning up at the in-laws and rolling onto their gravel drive in quiet mode. Understated; unassuming; classy.
3) Both cars go fast very well: The old car (especially the NSX-R), was – and still is – sublime. Drivetribe’s Jethro Bovingdon said it much better than I could: “For a car of this age, to perform so well on the track, to provide this level of intensity, to be so good, is unbelievable. This car is awesome. Extreme; outrageous; and completely spellbinding …. this thing is truly wonderful, I’d rather have one than an F40, seriously, this is love.”
The jury is still out on whether the new NSX is an out-an-out track car, but who cares? Let me tell you, on the road, it is equally awesome - a brilliantly capable, involving, enjoyable car.
I had the pleasure to have dinner with Ted Klaus, the NSX project leader, on a recent trip to Japan. His passion for the car, from the perspective of a real car nut, was the deciding factor for me. I was expecting a load of corporate bullshit. What I got was the impression that the guy really knows his stuff; is a car fan first and a company guy second; and had infectious enthusiasm for the car. That was the deciding factor. The new NSX is brilliant, and prices now make them a realistic proposition - the best value hybrid sports car available.
