This car has now sold - If you are looking to sell your new NSX please get in touch!

Back in the Stone Age, as humans were crawling out of cave dwellings and Margaret Thatcher was de-regulating the financial markets (about 1983), the epitome of cool was a Ferrari or Lamborghini with the loudest exhaust possible. How times have changed.

Now, to be cool you need to be electric. Or hybrid as a minimum. Especially if, like me, you have kids that will disown you if you come home with a gas-guzzling, noisy sports car.

The new NSX is very impressive: Twin-turbocharged 3.4-litre V6; nine speed gearbox; high-tech materials; torque vectoring using the twin electric motors at the front; third generation magnetic ride dampers; Direct Yaw Control, fly-by-wire braking - The new NSX is brilliant, and prices now make them a realistic proposition - the best value hybrid sports car available.

When the new NSX first came out the only equivalent cars were the McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 and the La Ferrari – all million pound supercars. Now realistic alternatives to the new NSX include the Ferrari SF90 Stradale with a hefty £375,000 price tag. But, for me, it’s simply too fast. Performance you will either never use or get arrested trying. Buy one and you are wasting the extra £276,000. The NSX does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and has a 191mph top speed. Do you really need more?

This car is one of fewer than 100 NC1 NSXs in the UK. It’s indistinguishable from new.

Here is a little true story: I was photographing this new NSX along the driveway of the estate on which we are based. There was a mum and two young kids having a little lockdown exercise on their bikes. It was cold. I could tell they were posh as all three were wearing - as a result of Coronavirus - unused ski-wear. The mum saw me approaching and corralled the kids to the side of the road to let me pass. So I switched to quiet mode and drove by completely silently on the electric motors.

I stopped at the entrance of the estate to take some more photos and the family caught up with me.

The mum said: “Thanks (I assumed she was referring to my road manners). Nice car. Is it electric?”

I said, “Yes”

She said, “Cool” and they cycled off.

If you want the next generation of supercar performance and ownership experience, using the latest hybrid technologies, you have very few choices:

McLaren P1
Porsche 918
La Ferrari

..... and this, the NEW Honda NSX.  It is simply brilliant.

The technology in the new NSX is really impressive: The twin-turbocharged 3.4-litre V6; nine speed gearbox; high-tech materials; 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 the car feel alive and nimble.

On fast roads the car is a brilliantly capable, involving, enjoyable machine.

The most impressive thing for me is the 'quiet mode'. Understated; unassuming; classy. Everyone loves the car - not something you can say about a Ferrari!

Only 100 coming to the UK, this is number 34. The car is with us, ready to go.

We have just sold this car.

Imported and maintained by us.

Of the three or four in Europe, we know them all.

This says it all:

https://www.youtube.com

Whilst we supplied the car in the video (and were present for the filming) this car is not that one.

Whatever, as Jethro says in the film, the best car in the world, bar none.

Contact us if you would like one.

This is a 1996 Honda NSX Type-R (number 447 out of 482). It is one of only four in the UK (two are in our studio / showroom / workshop). We travelled to Japan to view and inspect this car (as opposed to buying “blind” through an agent). It is now with us and is for sale.

All original, never damaged. Unmarked. It still has the original protective plastic over the sill trim and sill plates. It is a genuine, factory-built Type-R with all the correct Type-R enhancements. It is in the most desirable spec - Championship White with black Alcantara Recaros and has the optional air conditioning; Bose Hi-Fi; and the 16" and 17" forged Type-R alloy wheels.  

Just imported, UK registered, we have completed a very thorough inspection and everything has been done - including a full service with new belts, water pump, valve clearances, and LMAs. We have fully converted to UK specification including a MPH speedo, FM-expander, an OE UK spec rear fog light, and we have removed the speed limiter. It has new Yokohama AD08 tyres. 

If you are looking for a NSX Type-R, this is the only one for sale outside of Japan. In fact, Type R’s are more sought-after in Japan than anywhere else - so this is a unique opportunity.

The equivalent car in its day was the Porsche 993 Carrera RS. Three times as many Porsches were made; they are three times the price; and the Honda is three times better to drive. Hence the Type-R is definitely undervalued, not only in terms of investment potential, but also as a driver’s car. 

Essential differences between the Type R and the normal NSX are:

Weight Reduction:
Removal of sound deadening material
Removal of air-con (available as an option)
Removal of stereo system (available as an option)
Removal of spare wheel (this car has had one fitted)
Removal of front fog lights
Removal of cruise control
Removal of traction control
Removal of central locking and boot release

Unique Momo steering wheel
Unique matt grey finish to column surround and other plastic trim
Unique thinner carpets
Unique Type-R floor mats

Exterior:

Type-R NSXs very rarely come onto the market. So with the recent advert for the one for sale in Hong Kong, we thought we should get this advert live as soon as possible. Hence photos are recent ‘snaps’ of the car – more detailed photos will follow as soon as possible.

This car is Type-R Number 350 (out of a total worldwide production of 483). Manufactured in March 1995, this car was imported into the UK from Japan in 2017, with all taxes and duty paid, and has a UK registration.

We have looked after it since then. We have fixed all faults and serviced it each year. It has been lightly used by the current owner, professionally stored, and the subject of several magazine articles - we have copies.

Our last Type-R was sold to a buyer in the USA. We believe there are now only four other NSX Type-Rs in the UK. One photo shows three of these in our showroom.

This car is a genuine, factory-built Type-R with all the correct Type-R enhancements. It is in the classic Championship White with red Recaro seats and has the optional air conditioning; Bose Hi-Fi; and the 16" and 17" forged Type-R alloy wheels.

Respected Japanese Formula One driver Satoru Nakajima, and Brazilian Formula One World Champion Ayrton Senna were both involved with the development of the NSX. Many thought the compromises for the non-Japanese (ie USA) market made the car too “soft” for the real enthusiast. So the “Type-R” (only available for the Japanese market) was born. The NSX was the first model in the Honda range to receive the “Type-R” enhancements and branding.

Type-R Number 422 (out of a total worldwide production of 483). Manufactured in March 1995, this car was imported into Australia from Japan in 2008.

It was the only NSX Type-R in Australia. Now there are none. This car is now in the UK, with all taxes and duty paid.  We believe there are only two other Type-Rs in the UK.

This car is a genuine, factory-built Type-R with all the correct Type-R enhancements.  It is in the rare Pearl Yellow and has the optional air conditioning; Bose Hi-Fi; and the 16" and 17" forged Type-R alloy wheels.  

The NSX was the first production car to have an all-aluminium monocoque body, the first independent 4-channel anti-lock brake system; the first production car with titanium connecting rods; an electric power steering system; Honda's proprietary VTEC variable valve timing system; etc etc.

Respected Japanese Formula One driver Satoru Nakajima, and Brazilian Formula One World Champion Ayrton Senna were both involved with the development of the NSX.

This is a 1993 Honda NSX Type-R (number 44 out of 482). It is one of only four in the UK.

The car was supplied new in Japan and was kept by the first owner until 2000. It was then sold to an Australian collector, living in Japan. In 2016 it was exported to Malaysia, owned by a friend of NSXUK. It was imported to the UK by ourselves in October 2018.

We then completed a complete nut-and-bolt restoration including a bare-metal respray on behalf of a USA client. A full photographic record of the process is available.

It was then sold by us to a European-based customer in January 2021. He has now decided to sell - He has too many NSXs and is rationalising his collection.

This Type-R is exactly as it left the factory, in its original Formula Red with Red Alcantara seats. Is is completely unmarked. It is a genuine, factory-built Type-R with all the correct Type-R enhancements. It has the optional air conditioning.

The car is available fully tax-paid in either the UK or EU.

If you are looking for a NSX Type-R, this is the only one for sale outside of Japan. In fact, Type R’s are more sought-after in Japan than anywhere else - so this is a unique opportunity.

It seems the world has gone crazy for Honda NSX Type-Rs, with demand exceeding supply. Yet still the Type-R is definitely undervalued, not only in terms of investment potential, but also as a driver’s car. This will not stick around for long.

When first released the NSX was ahead of its time. The NSX combines build quality, reliability, durability and everyday drivability. The aluminium body is beautiful. It’s a classic you can own, take out for a drive whenever you like and not worry about it breaking down or deteriorating.

It took many years for Honda to improve on it – but this was it. The facelift car has better looks; the 3.2 NA2 engine is noticeably faster; and the six-speed gearbox is superb.

What's the best colour? Well, this really is a question of personal preference but there are two things to take into consideration: In the new model brochure, the featured car was Long Beach Pearl Blue Metallic. When the facelift was launched in the UK, the Honda press car was the same colour….

This NSX – a six-speed manual, 3.2 coupe – was the last registered official UK-supplied car. It was delivered to the first owner in Northern Ireland in November 2005, a month after the ‘Last Twelve’.

In Northern Ireland until 2006, this car was exported to Singapore, and then brought back by us in August 2015. It has been professionally stored and maintained by us since then. We have known the car from new. Three owners. It has covered only 19,300 miles. Just beautiful!

The Honda NSX is different from any other classic sports car - It’s a genuine sports car that all owners and drivers can enjoy. 

It’ll be a joy to own: Beautiful design; beautiful engineering; super-rare (you will never park next to another one); discrete; elegant; esoteric; reliable; comparatively cheap to run; and – crucially - it’s not going to go down in value. Compared to the equivalent Porsche or Ferrari, the NSX is currently undervalued.

It’ll be a joy to drive: Comfortable, satisfying, effortless, with brilliant handling. 

If you are reading this you’ll be interested in acquiring an NSX. So, what’s the best NSX to buy? What will be the best to drive?

It’s no surprise to learn that the best price (and hence the best investment) for any classic car will go to:

a) the rarest cars, where demand exceeds supply;

b) those cars with the best provenance (that usually means UK-supplied cars with full history);

c) those cars that show light, consistent use (often super-low mileage cars will develop faults through lack of use); and

d) that are maintained in the best condition. 

This car ticks all the boxes: This “Facelift’ Manual NSX Coupe is the rarest (only 19 cars were sold in 2005 – the last year of production). It was supplied new on 31 March 2005 by Honda Bristol. It has a full service history with 12 Honda main dealer stamps in the service book. It has covered 39,000 miles and the service history and MOTs show light, regular use. It has beautiful Berlina Black paintwork with black perforated leather seats. We have known the two previous owners and this car has been fastidiously maintained and cared for as part of the owners’ car collections.

Its 3.2 litre 24 valve aluminium (with titanium con-rods) engine is superb, with noticeably more torque than it’s 3.0 litre predecessor.  The 6-speed gearbox is easy to use, with light clutch, smooth gear change and perfect ratios.

If your intention is to have it as an investment and sell on at a later date; or to drive everyday and enjoy; or just to keep, treasure, and derive that unique pleasure of ownership, it doesn’t matter. This is simply one of the best NSX available today.

Is all the above just sales talk? Or the result of our passion for the NSX?  Do you share our view that the NSX one of the best classic sports cars money can buy? Do you agree? Better still, come down and have a test drive and decide for yourself.

William Morris once said, “have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” For me, this extends to the garage.

Firstly, I’ve never understood people who invest in classic cars with no intention of using them.  What really matters to me is that “I know it to be useful.”…that is, it can be used.  I’m not going to buy a Porsche 991 GT3 RS with delivery mileage, only to be scared to drive it and watch the odometer climb up and its value climb down. Or an old Ferrari that’s going to break down every time it goes out.

That’s the wonderful thing about the NSX: the supercar that you can use everyday.

Secondly, I have always been fascinated by beautiful design: architecture, furniture, cars. Beautiful objects bring good into the world. They inspire optimism. They make us feel good. Why own an ugly car when you can own a beautiful one?

This car is finished in the rare (facelift only) beautiful Long Beach Blue metallic paint with black perforated leather seats - one of only six Honda NSXs delivered to the UK in this colour. It is (of course) the 3.2ltr 6-speed model.

There is unquestionable beauty in the design of this car. With such singular vision and execution, its place in automotive history can never be in doubt. Even now, it feels like it must have been designed and developed in a vacuum. The Honda R&D centre in Tochigi was an entirely different place, both physically and intellectually, from all the European automotive design houses. So the car is different. Designed with different priorities, each of them delivered spectacularly well. If you have owned a European mid-engined sports car and think it’s good, come and try this. You’ll want to drive it forever.

This car has full Honda and Plans Performance service history, with complete documentation. Full engine refresh and timing belt service carried out on 30/09/2018 at 69,654 miles. It has now covered 72,646 miles. All the handbooks, invoices and MOTs are present.

It has had two owners, the current owner since March 2007.

This car can only be described as superb. It is spotlessly clean and immaculate inside, outside and underneath. If you are looking for a classic car to put in the garage, to drive and admire, to keep and cherish, then this is the one.

Plans Motorsport are the country’s leading NSX specialist.  We service, maintain and sell more NSXs than anyone else in the UK.  But we don’t “buy and sell” cars.  The NSXs we sell are our customers' cars that we have looked after, or as in this case, taken in part-exchange.

The previous owner of this car has just bought our Pearlescent White NSX.   Possibly the best car to buy is one that has been taken in part exchange for another NSX.  This means that the previous owner is an enthusiast who only sold because an opportunity to acquire another NSX came along.

This car was new in May 2003 and has covered 53,335 miles.  It is in perfect condition, and is a facelift Targa - the rarest of all NSXs, being one of only five in the UK. It is the 3.2litre, producing 278BHP / 298Nm torque, six-speed manual, finished in New Formula Ascari red with black leather.

We have just carried out our NSX-specific 115 point checkover and carried out an annual service.  The car is faultless, comfortable, and the ultimate in usable, high performance motoring.

OK.  You want to buy a nice car.  You've worked hard, made some good decisions (or, more likely, you admit to yourself that you have been lucky), and have a bit of spare cash to treat yourself. 

Or, all that pension stuff that frankly I don’t understand, means that the guy from the Pru offers a load of dosh to spend on a nice car rather than him keeping it safe for those nursing home fees in 20 years time. 

Or, as money is so cheap at the moment, why not borrow the wonga (but, not from the people with the capital W, as they are crooks) to buy a nice car?  The car is going to appreciate far quicker than the interest rate so it’s a no-brainer.

You have always wanted a 'man cave' garage and want something to put in it:

Ferrari?  F off, when I drive it other people will think I've got a very small penis.

Lamborghini?  Ok, a Muira is a little out of my league; and all other Lambos?:  See above.

Aston Martin?  Ok, they are cool.  And cool people own them. But they are not the sports car I really want. And, if you look closely, those cool guys with collectable Astons have another cool car in their garage:

A Honda NSX.

This is the one.  It might not be the fastest NSX.  Or the most hard-core.  But it is the coolest, smoothest, most comfortable, most discreet, best-bloody-classic-sports car available today.

Why would I want an auto NSX?

Ok - Here’s the thing:  This weekend I want to drive down to Rick Stein’s place in Padstow, stay over, and come back.  The A303 - that sodding traffic jam by Stonehenge.  Which council official decided to slow all the traffic down by grassing over that side road?  Tell him he is the reason I don’t want a manual!

Next weekend:  Zuma.  Just off the Brompton Road by Harrods.  I am not sitting in that traffic with my foot on the clutch all evening. 

This car is a super-rare, 2002 Facelift Targa F-matic NSX. UK supplied, full Honda history, 48,200 miles.  Just brilliant. Usable. Roof on; roof off; whatever.  It’s become a bit of a cliché that the NSX is a sports car that you can use everyday: But it’s true. Even today. Especially today.  Even if “everyday” is just every weekend.

The NSX combines build quality, reliability, durability and everyday drivability. The aluminum body is beautiful.  It’s a classic you can own; take out for a drive whenever you like; and not worry about it breaking down or rotting away!

When first released the NSX was ahead of its time.  It took many years for Honda to improve on it – but this was it – The facelift car has better looks; the 3.2 NA2 engine is noticeably faster; and the six-speed gearbox is superb.

What's the best colour?  Well, this really is a question of personal preference but two things to take into consideration:  In the new model brochure, the featured car was Long Beach Pearl Blue Metallic.  In 2002 the Honda UK press car was the same colour….

When buying as an investment, firstly, buy a car that you aren't afraid to use.  Secondly, buy a UK supplied car. Thirdly, make sure it has a full, documented history.

This is a 2002 Facelift NA2 Long Beach Blue with black perforated leather; 3.2 NSX Coupe six speed manual; NSX-specific Volks wheels, 53,000 miles. This car ticks all the boxes!

The most sought-after, rarest and most desirable NSX is the "pre-facelift" 3.2 six speed manual coupe with pop-up lights. The revised C32B engine is much better, having increased power from 276 to 290BHP; and more importantly, torque was improved from 210 to 225lb ft. The six-speed gearbox is perfect. So the later cars are nicer to drive, (giving 0-60 in 4.7 seconds) and are by far the best investment.

This car is a 2001 3.2 six-speed manual NSX coupe. Unmarked Indy Yellow Pearl with black leather. 3 Owners (last owner since 2012). 23,200 miles. Perfect service history with all MOTs and receipts. One of the two best classic NSXs available today.

We have all the original keys, handbooks, sales brochure, service documents, even all the petrol receipts from the last owner.

If you are looking for an NSX to buy, own, use and cherish, you'll be hard pressed to find a better one than this.

There are two exceptional things about this car:

The first is the colour: Imola Orange Pearl. This is a very rare colour, only available in the UK on later NSXs, and only with black leather. Merely six cars were sold in this gorgeous, dramatic colour. (Three coupes and three targas).

The best colour is naturally a thing of personal preference, but it’s interesting to note that Honda UK chose this colour for the pre-facelift NA2 3.2 NSX sales brochure. The Honda marketing people liked it and thought this was the best way to present an NSX. Also, Honda’s current ‘heritage’ press car, MY05 NSX, is in Imola Orange Pearl.

More copper coloured than orange, I really like the way the colour changes depending on the light - the pictures show this, but still don’t do it justice. If you have never seen one in person, I would urge you to do so. One thing is for sure – if you buy this car you are most unlikely to park next to another one!

I hate the usual motor trade and the usual motor trade adverts: When I read, “This car really turns heads”, I normally translate that into “people who see you will think you’re a twat”. However, I have driven this car for a few days, as part of our detailed preparation process, to make sure - like all our cars – it is completely faultless. It’s been a pleasure to drive in the sunshine with the roof off and the windows down. And it does turn heads: Appreciating, knowledgeable, ones.

The second exceptional thing is that this car was built in 2001: But it feels not just like a new car, but also a modern car. That’s the outstanding thing about the Honda NSX. It was so far ahead of its time that even now, seventeen years later, it’s easy to forget that it’s a classic car, not a modern one.

Also, it’s remarkable how well an NSX copes with mileage. This car has covered 97,000 miles – but feels like 20,000 when you drive it. The 3.2 engine is perfect and the six-speed gearbox is super-smooth. Everything works as it should. This doesn’t happen by chance. Honda’s engineers evaluated all aspects of advanced automotive technology before evolving a design approach and creating the ideal solution, independent from marketing and finance. Then Honda built the cars at the dedicated Tochigi manufacturing facility where quality was paramount.

I was one of those nerdy kids that read car magazines and pressed my nose up against car showroom windows. Since then I have been lucky to drive many of my childhood dream cars. Most of them - now twenty years old with high mileage - are a huge disappointment. They are just shit. But not the NSX: A genuinely timeless car that’s a joy to own and to drive. Buy one.

The registration V6 NSX (possibly the best registration for an NSX, both classic and new) is available by separate negotiation.

This car is one of the best NSXs we have ever driven.  Supplied new by Phoenix Honda , this car was first registered on 25th March 2000. It is one of only 11 NSXs sold in the UK that year.  What was the great UK car-buying public thinking?  Why was everyone queuing up for a Ferrari or a Porsche when one of the best cars ever was being largely ignored?

Well, that’s all history now and NSXs are becoming more sought-after now than they have ever been.

This car is the rarest of all UK NSXs; with the 3.2 Engine and six-speed gearbox, coupe body, with pop-up headlights.  The New Formula Red paintwork is superb, with unmarked perforated black leather.

It has had six owners and has covered only 42,888 miles. The previous owner, a real enthusiast, has loved the car and invested in making it as perfect as possible. We have a full service history and every MOT, showing consistent but light use – the best of all.  Too few miles is not always good: NSX’s need to be exercised regularly.  And, if you buy a car with too few miles, you will be afraid to use it.  Too many, and the investment potential is not as good.

The car comes with the original handbook and service pack, three original keys, full, unused tool kit, etc etc.  It has been fastidiously maintained, including much preventative work.  We have know the last two owners and have sold it on both occasions. It’s satisfying to see the same great NSXs returning to us to be re-sold. We have just carried out our full inspection and it is ready to enjoy.

This car has the correct provenance and the correct specification. It the best maintained, prepared and cared for NSX we have ever seen.  A fantastic opportunity.

The headlines:

2000 Honda NSX Auto (F-matic) Targa. Berlina black with tan leather. 82,300 miles, three owners (First owner Honda UK, second owner had the car for over seventeen years, last owner since August 2018). Cam belt service just completed.



The details:

Don’t believe what you read on the internet. If you Google “NSX Auto” there will be loads of people (most of whom have never driven one) advising you not to buy an auto.

There are several reasons why buying an F-matic NSX is a good decision:

1) When new, the NSX was the only genuine sports car available as an auto. In 2000, when this car was new, Ferrari, for example, had only just started to offer a two-pedal option - now you cannot buy a manual Ferrari!

2) If you broadened you choice to other grand tourers, the NSX was still the best car. There are no automatic classic cars that are better. Drive an auto Mercedes SL500 or a Jaguar XJS then drive an auto NSX. The NSX is vastly superior.

3) If you are looking for a car to use on longer journeys - for touring - then the auto option is better. Stress free, comfortable, easy to drive, etc etc... all the things the NSX was famous for.

4) When you are in drive in an auto, or in top gear in a manual, the auto and manual NSX are effectively the same.

5) Honda much improved the auto NSX with the F-matic. A much improved gear change, better ratios, and the paddle change semi-automatic option.

6) Finally - here’s the most important reason to buy an F-Matic NSX: This car is nearly twenty grand cheaper than the manual equivalent.

This car is a rare, 2000 Targa F-matic NSX. Berlina black (NSXs look better in dark colours, in my opinion) with tan leather. UK supplied, full history, 82,300 miles. Three owners (although one owner for 80% of it’s life), HPI clear. We have just carried out a full check over and carried out the all-important cam-belt service. Everything (Air conditioning/ climate control, Bose Hi-Fi, power steering, ABS, etc) all works as it should.

So usable. Roof on; roof off; whatever. It’s become a bit of a cliché that the NSX is a sports car that you can use everyday: But it’s true.

An excellent opportunity to acquire one of the best, rarest NSXs.  Supplied new by 2Mills Honda in Liverpool, this car was first registered on 1st March 2000. It is one of only 11 NSXs sold in the UK that year.

This car has the 3.2 Engine and six-speed gearbox, coupe body, with pop-up headlights.  The Circuit blue paintwork is pristine, with unmarked perforated black leather.

It has had four owners (two in the last 13 years), and has covered only 32,080 miles.  We have a full service history and every MOT, showing consistent but light use – the best of all.  Too few miles is not always good: NSX’s need to be exercised regularly.  And, if you buy a car with too few miles, you will be afraid to use it.  Too many, and the investment potential is not as good.

32,000 miles – Perfect.

The car is completely standard, comes with the original handbook and service pack, three original keys (including the red valet key still in its blister pack), full, unused tool kit, etc etc.  It is like a new car.  We have just carried out our full inspection and carried out a cam-belt service. 

Thus car has the correct provenance, the correct specification, and correctly priced.  A fantastic opportunity.

What is the best NSX to own?  What car is the best to drive, and will represent the best investment?  Well, the answer is a matter of opinion and personal taste… here is our view:

We have a 'classic' 1991 Auto for sale… this is an example of the original, breakthrough car.  Our pearl white car, recently sold, was a 2005 “last twelve”… a rare example of the newest NSX available (until the new model comes out next year).

Here is the best NSX available today, having the best of both cars.   It is finished in Sebring Silver and Black perforated leather.  It has the later ('NA2') 3.2 litre engine, mated to the excellent six speed manual gearbox.  However, it retains the pop-up headlights, which, to most owners, is more aesthetically pleasing.

And here’s the thing…. This car has had one owner and covered only 8,667 miles from new. The supplying dealer has serviced it every year.  We have all receipts (including the original purchase receipt) and all MOTs.

The NSX is a real and intelligent alternative to a classic Ferrari or Porsche (which have already gone up spectacularly in value) … this car is the best of both worlds: simply superb; great to drive; and has fantastic investment potential!

An excellent opportunity to acquire one of the rarest NSXs. 

Supplied new by John Cooper Garages, this car was first registered on 3rd November 2000. It is one of only 11 NSXs sold in the UK that year.

This car has the 3.2 engine and six-speed gearbox, coupe body, with pop-up headlights. The Berlina Black paintwork is pristine, with unmarked perforated black leather.

It has had seven owners – it’s clear that each one has loved and looked after it properly. It has covered 67,930 miles. We have a full service history; a fully stamped service book with receipts; and every MOT, showing consistent, regular use. The cam-belt service has been carried out 500 miles ago on 18th August 2017.

The NSX is a real and intelligent alternative to a classic Ferrari or Porsche (which have already gone up spectacularly in value) … this car is simply superb; great to drive; reliable and will be a joy to own!

The car is completely standard, comes with the original handbook and service pack, three original keys (including the red valet key still in its blister pack), full, unused tool kit, etc etc. It is in exceptional condition.

We have just carried out our full inspection and it needs nothing.  The X22 NSX number plate (matching the chassis number) is included in the sale.

This car has the correct provenance, the correct specification, and correctly priced.  A fantastic opportunity.

Imagine the best classic sports car you can buy:  It'll have to be UK supplied. Two owners - and we know both - so that the provenance is verifiable and irrefutable. Very low miles. Excellent paintwork. Unmarked leather interior. Perfect service history, from the supplying dealer.  Always kept in a heated, dry garage.  Completely corrosion-free and looking like it came out of the showroom, 20 years ago. Never crashed. Perfectly original and unmodified. Preferably not red. Not a Ferrari.

This is it. It ticks all the boxes. A unique opportunity:

This car is a 1999 3.2 six-speed manual NSX coupe. Unmarked Berlina black with tan leather. Two owners from new (first owner for 20 years). UK supplied. 20,500 miles. Perfect service history with all MOTs and receipts. One of the best classic NSXs available today.

If you are looking for an NSX to buy, own, use and cherish, you'll be hard pressed to find a better one than this.

There are two exceptional things about this car:

The first is the colour: Imola Orange Pearl. This is a very rare colour, only available in the UK on later NSXs, and only with black leather. Merely six cars were sold in this gorgeous, dramatic colour. (Three coupes and three targas).

The best colour is naturally a thing of personal preference, but it’s interesting to note that Honda UK chose this colour for the pre-facelift NA2 3.2 NSX sales brochure. The Honda marketing people liked it and thought this was the best way to present an NSX. Also, Honda’s current ‘heritage’ press car, MY05 NSX, is in Imola Orange Pearl.

More copper coloured than orange, I really like the way the colour changes depending on the light - the pictures show this, but still don’t do it justice. If you have never seen one in person, I would urge you to do so. One thing is for sure – if you buy this car you are most unlikely to park next to another one!

The second exceptional thing is that this car was built in 1998: But it feels not just like a new car, but also a modern car. That’s the outstanding thing about the Honda NSX. It was so far ahead of its time that even now, twenty four years later, it’s easy to forget that it’s a classic car, not a modern one.

Also, it’s remarkable how well an NSX copes with mileage. This car has covered 114,500 miles – but feels like 30,000 when you drive it. The 3.2 engine is perfect and the six-speed gearbox is super-smooth.

The car has an interesting (and extensively documented) service history. It was originally the Autocar magazine long-term test car.

We have recently carried out a cam-belt service; fitted new tyres; and it has just had a new MOT with no advisories.

This NSX is a genuinely timeless car that’s a joy to own and to drive.

There are ten sub-species of Tiger: Three are extinct. Of the remaining, the South China Tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis) is by far the rarest. Found in central and eastern China, according to the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, the South China Tiger is listed as critically endangered. It is estimated to be functionally extinct. Currently 47 South China tigers live in 18 zoos, all in China.

We run a little zoo here for endangered NSXs. There are also ten sub-species of the original NSX.

Which is the rarest? It is this one: A 1998, pop-up lights, 3.2 six speed manual Targa. In 1998, Honda UK sold 10 cars. Only 1 was a 3.2 Manual Targa, coincidently in Midnight Purple, with tan leather, the same specification as this one. So when this car was bought by its current owner - an international businessman working in Japan - and returned to UK, it doubled the numbers from one to two. Shame they were not a breeding pair.

It’s been in captivity (professional storage) with us ever since. It has covered 76,000km (47,500 miles) from new.

We have just completed a full check over and a full cam belt service was carried out less than 200 miles ago. We have fixed all mechanical faults, no matter how small. The owner has recently spent over 10,000GBP with us on restoration, maintenance and servicing. It has new tyres, on perfect, unmarked wheels. A new MOT has just been issued with no advisories. It has excellent paintwork and superb, unmarked leather.

This car is a 1998 3.2 six-speed manual NSX Targa. Honda UK only imported one car in this spec: So this is the only UK-registered Midnight Purple Pearl with black leather NSX in the UK. 7 owners (last owner since 2013, we have known all the owners since 2003). 148,000 miles. If you are looking for an NSX to use and enjoy, and are not fussed about number of owners, history and mileage, then buy this.... and save £20,000. Probably the best value NSX available worldwide - see details below:

The UK classic car market seems to be obsessed with low mileage, one or two owner cars. The result is people buy cars as 'investments' and are afraid to use them. If that is you, then have a look at our other NSXs for sale - especially our other two 3.2 six-speed cars.

But if you are looking for an NSX to use and enjoy, then this could be the perfect car. Or if you are from overseas and looking to buy a right hand drive NSX to ship home, then this is an unique opportunity.

so...

Why is this car £20,000 less than the equivalent “collector's” NSX?

Here's why:

1. It's had seven owners: The first owner was Honda UK. So that doesn't count. We have known all the owners since 2003. So we can verify its provenance. The other thing about lots of owners is that it's often a good point. When a new owner acquires a car they love it a little bit more. And look after it a bit better. So many owners can be a good thing.

2. It's done 148,000 miles: Don't worry. It's a Honda. It’s remarkable how well an NSX copes with mileage. The 3.2 engine is perfect and the six-speed gearbox is super-smooth. This doesn’t happen by chance. Honda’s engineers built the cars to last and quality was paramount. We have given the car our 115-point NSX-specific check over and everything works as it should.

3. It's a Targa (all Midnight Purple NSXs were Targas): For some reason Targas are less sought after than Coupes. It's because some internet forum 'experts' (most of whom have never driven an NSX) base their opinion on the Ferrari GTS and Porsche Targa and claim an NSX-T is not as stiff as a Coupe. Not true. Roof on, or roof off, they are brilliant to drive and the removable roof panel, on a sunny day, is simply a bonus.

4. We repaired this car after a relatively minor accident in 2011. All new parts were used, and the result is indistinguishable from the car's pre-accident condition. We can warrant that the car has not suffered in any way from being repaired.

So, if you have read the above and, like me, are not discouraged, then this is the best value NSX on the market worldwide.

Rarely do UK supplied, manual, low mileage, properly maintained, fault-free NSXs come to the market. So this is a singular opportunity to acquire a very special car.

This particular car was UK supplied on 9th January 1997 by Marshall Honda of Reading. It is finished in excellent (now very sought after) Charlotte Green paintwork with unmarked tan leather interior with the 1995/6 model year black roof. It has the 16" and 17" seven-spoke alloy wheels with very good Yokohama AD08 tyres. Having covered 73,573 miles, it has a fully documented service history and provenance. The first owner was Honda UK. The current owner is only the third keeper and has owned the car since 2018.

It has just had a cam-belt service. We have just carried out a full, detailed check over and everything works as it should, including Bose Hi-Fi, climate control, electronic power steering and ABS.

So it’s ready to be enjoyed! The owner is already regretting selling. In our opinion (and his!) there is no better, practical, usable, everyday classic sports car than an NSX.

This car has now sold - If you are looking to sell your NSX please get in touch!

The Highlights:

This is without question one of the best NSXs to come to the market for some time. In absolutely superb condition both mechanically and cosmetically, after a recent no-expense-spared refresh carried out by us. Everything works as it should, including Bose hi-fi, climate control, electronic power steering, cruise control and ABS. The car is in the beautiful, rare, Midnight Pearl purple with an unmarked tan leather. As this is the NSX-T version, it has the benefit of the removable Targa roof.

First registered 10th April 1997, the car is UK supplied, has covered only 45,500 miles and has had three owners. This model has the 270bhp 3.0ltr VTEC engine – and, most importantly, has the five-speed manual gearbox.

The Details:

A car collector recently said to me:

“The trouble with Japanese cars is that you can’t love them like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini”.

I beg to differ.

This NSX is really one to love. It is just about as perfect as you can get. At the previous owner’s request, we have just carried out a complete refresh, renewal and refurbishment to make the car as close to as-new as possible.

The results are fantastic and really have to be seen to be believed. Pictures much better describe the condition than words ever could, so please look at the detailed photos in our gallery. Everything is spotless – outside, inside and underneath.

The car was meticulously stripped, inspected, cleaned and re-built. It has had a full engine-out cam belt service and anything that showed signs of wear was replaced. This includes new gaskets and seals, belts, lost-motion adjusters, gaskets and seals, front lower ball joints, new discs and pads, alternator, driveshafts, etc etc. All the underside components have been removed, vapour blasted, re-plated and powder coated back to original, as-new condition. It is, as a result, completely corrosion-free.

The correct 16-inch front and 17-inch rear seven-spoke wheels have been refurbished and fitted with new Yokohama AD08S tyres.

The car is completely original and standard, with the exception of the Bilstein dampers and sports springs. This improves the handling and achieves a 20mm reduction in ride height that makes the car look more purposeful and sporty. The car can be fitted with its NSX-T specific OEM springs and dampers if required.

Inside, the original tan leather seats and interior trim are in perfect condition after having been removed, cleaned, sympathetically re-connollised and refitted.

As well as the recent invoice for the refresh, the car has a complete and documented service history from Honda main dealers up to 2015, and NSX specialists since then. It comes with a fresh 12-month MOT with no advisories.

This car requires no other attention beyond an annual service in twelve months’ time. The next major service is not due for five years. It’s ready to enjoy, to cherish and to love.

When Nico Rosberg won the Malaysian Grand Prix for Mercedes F1 in 2010, the media was quick to point out to the largely gullible general public that it was the first win for the team since Stirling Moss in 1955.

Is the Mercedes F1 team really Mercedes?

It’s true that Moss won the British Grand Prix in 1955 in a “Silver Arrows” factory Mecedes.  But to say that the 2010 win was the first for the team for 45 years was just corporate branding nonsense.  The team that is now called “Mercedes F1” was called “Brawn GP” – with no fewer than eight Grand Prix wins in 2009.  Same staff; same factory; running largely the same car.  And what were they called before “Brawn GP”? Well, Brawn GP was created as a result of a management buyout of - yes, you have guessed it - Honda Racing F1.

What has this got to do with the NSX?

The new NSX (designed and built in Marysville, Ohio, United States) comes with lots of marketing claims of “Honda DNA”.  

Is the new NSX really an NSX? 

We think yes. There are three things that both the new and the old NSX does brilliantly:

1)    Both cars make a statement about what a Honda sports car is and should be;

2)    Both cars go slowly very well.  Ever driven a 90's Ferrari at 10mph?  An NSX drives at 10mph with perfection.  Smooth, easy, comfortable;

3)    Both cars go fast very well.  No “sweaty palm” driving.  Just a brilliantly capable, involving, enjoyable car.

This car, a January 1997 NSX manual coupe, demonstrates those three things perfectly.  It will be a great car to own and enjoy.

Finished in metallic Charlotte Green with Tan leather. New Yokohama AD08 tyres.  Fully serviced with new cam belt.

First owned by Honda UK.  Since then it has had only three other owners and has covered 65,900.  Perfect service history with all MOTs.

The arrival of the new NSX will increase interest and awareness (and hence values) of the original NSX. So now is the time to buy.

The NSX combines build quality, reliability, durability and everyday drivability. Everything on it is unique. The chassis, powertrain, even the air conditioning are peerless. The aluminum body is beautiful.  It’s a classic you can own; take out for a drive whenever you like; and not worry about it breaking down or rotting away! 

This particular car is a 1996 Targa F-Matic. We have known this car for some time, having sold it to the current owner two years ago. It is unusual in that it has been professionally wrapped in red vinyl with a black roof.

The benefit of the wrap is that you can have the choice of keeping the classic NSX red and black colour scheme or retuning it to its original midnight purple. The paint underneath is in excellent condition and has been protected by the wrap.

This NSX is UK supplied, has a full documented history, 62,466 miles. It has been properly maintained (including a cam belt service less than 7,000 miles ago), has never been in an accident. It has a new service and MOT. We have given the car our NSX-specific 115-point pre-sales check over and everything works as it should, including Bose Hi-Fi.

Yellow.  You either hate it or love it.  But think of the design classics of the 20th century:  Harvey Ross Ball's "smiley face" - Yellow and black; Margeret Calvert's classic airport signs - Yellow and black. So what is the most eye-catching, distinctive colour combination for Kiyoyuki "Ken" Okuyama's NSX? - Yellow and black.

This car is Indy Yellow Pearl metallic with black leather, with the benefit of the removable hard top adding air and sunshine to what already is a sunny car! In suburb condition, always having been garaged and under a cover.

It has the 3.0 litre DOHC V6 VTEC engine and the five speed manual transmission.

UK supplied new on 1st August 1996, it has covered only 34,800 miles.  We have a full documented Honda history, with all previous MOTs.  

We have given the car a full cam-belt service; our unique NSX-specific 115 point check over; and it's ready to enjoy.

Plans Motorsport are probably the UK’s leading NSX specialist. We see more of these cars every month than any Honda main dealer sees in a year. At any one time we have between one and five in our workshops. So we are best placed to spot a good one when it comes along.

Arguably the NSX is one of the best cars ever.  It’s a classic.  A supercar that you can use everyday. It does everything right. It is depreciation proof. And it makes you feel better when you drive it.

And this particular car is my favourite: It is a 1996 Targa F-Matic. There is something special about removing the roof on a sunny day and stowing it neatly in the special hidden compartment under the engine cover. In my opinion, Midnight Purple is the best colour. It is UK supplied, has a full documented history, a low mileage (61,500), properly maintained (including a cam belt service last year), has never been in an accident, and is completely standard and original in all respects. Everything works as it should, including Bose Hi-Fi.  It is beautiful. Just brilliant.

Plans Motorsport are probably the UK’s leading NSX specialist. We see more of these cars every month than any Honda main dealer sees in a year. At any one time we have between one and five in our workshops. So we are best placed to spot a good one when it comes along.

Arguably the NSX is one of the best cars ever.  It’s a classic.  A supercar that you can use everyday. It does everything right. It is depreciation proof. And it makes you feel better when you drive it.

A very good customer has just upgraded his NSX for our later, one-owner NA2. So we are selling his treasured Indy Yellow Pearl Targa on his behalf.

It has been perfectly maintained with a full, documented service history. We have just carried out a full, detailed check over and fixed all faults.

So it’s ready to be enjoyed, with the roof off, whilst the sun shining! The owner is already regretting selling. In our opinion (and his!) there is no better, practical, usable, everyday convertible classic sports car than an NSX-T.

I had an interesting conversation with someone in a petrol station the other day. I was in a red NSX. The guy asked if it was a Ferrari.  He saw a red sports car and assumed it was a Ferrari. Which says a lot more about the Ferrari brand than it does about Honda.  

Many people buy an NSX because they understand about cars and don’t want a Ferrari. Often this extends to not wanting a red sports car. So here is one in my favourite colour, Midnight Purple.

This car is slightly different from the normal NSXs Plans Performance offers for sale in that it is on the HPI register as having been repaired.

It is not unusual for an NSX to be 'written off' by an insurance company as some body parts are either very expensive or no longer available from Honda.  So relatively minor and easy-to-fix damage cannot be carried out by the insurers’ preferred repairers, who normally repair Ford Fiestas as opposed to NSXs.

Now having been professionally repaired, the car is as good as new.  It has covered 47,500 miles and has had four owners. We know them all, having serviced the car over many years.   

It has absolutely faultless paintwork and excellent tan leather interior. It is the sought-after manual version; and has the benefit of the Targa roof, that can be removed on sunny days and stored neatly in the special compartment over the engine.

We have just completed our full NSX-specific check over and cam belt service.

If you are looking for an NSX to own and to enjoy, then this could be the one. We maintain and repair more NSXs than anyone else. We guarantee that the car has been repaired properly and is completely back to pre-accident condition. Except for the price: It’s ten thousand pounds cheaper than it should be.

Please call us for more details.

If you have ever been tempted to own an NSX, now is the time to buy with values climbing for low mileage, well documented, original cars. This is an excellent example of such a car. It has been lovingly cared for by the previous owner who has had the car garaged and covered a few hundred miles a year.

This NSX 3.0ltr 4-speed Auto is the classic Formula Red with black leather.  It was supplied new in April 1995 and has covered 70,800 miles. 

It is UK supplied. We have the full documented service history with every MOT. The cam belt has just been replaced. We have given the car our NSX-specific 115 point pre-sales check over and everything works as it should. 

Hence the car is in excellent condition, looks sunning, and will be a delight to own and drive. Please feel free to contact us for more information or to book a viewing.

Go and try a 1995 Ferrari 348 before you come to look at our NSX's.  Even better (or worse), try an automatic 1995 Jaguar XJS or Mercedes 320SL.

Then test drive this NSX.  Firstly, it is simply hugely superior to any other car of its age and type. Secondly, it is as beautiful now as it was then.  The timeless shape, the beautifully forged aluminum suspension parts, the fantastic engine…. What more reasons does one need to own an NSX?  If you have ever wanted to own an NSX, now is the time to buy.  They are never going to go down in value.

This particular car is a 1995 automatic, in classic Formula red with black roof and black leather.

This car has done 83,360 miles, with full, documented history, with all invoices and previous MOTs.  It has a sympathetically upgraded Bose Hi-Fi.  Available with either black wheels (as in the photos) or original silver.

It is UK supplied, and, like all our cars, is faultless.  If you would like to come down to the countryside to see us, please don't hesitiate.

What is the most innovative, desirable, practical, sports car available today?  The McLaren 12C?

Cast you mind back 20 years ago to the mid 90’s.  What car encapsulated the most advanced automotive technology?  What car, like its modern counterpart, had a mid-engined, two seat design that combined very low body weight with a high-revving, high performance, naturally aspirated engine?

Answer:  The NSX, of course.

This particular car is a 1995 F-Matic, in classic Formula Red with Black roof.  But it has an unusual twist: Original, soft, hand-stitched red leather.  Every other red car we have seen has black leather…. and, actually, we rather prefer the red!

This car is beautiful and has perfect, original paint.  It is UK supplied, has a full Honda history, with only 45,000 miles. The last owner had it in professional storage, having owned it since 2000.

High resolution, detailed photographs are available in the gallery section of our web-site:

The NSX is an unusual classic because, in its day, it was the only true sports car available as an automatic.

This NSX 3.0ltr 4-speed Auto is the quintessential Formula Red with black leather. It was supplied new by Honda UK, Chiswick, in August 1993 and has covered 106,500 miles. It has the 1994 model year colour-coded roof and bigger alloy wheels. 

It has been properly serviced every year, evidenced by twenty-two Honda stamps in the service book.

The ownership record is typical for an NSX. When they were new, NSXs tended to change hands relatively often and then remain with the same owner for many years. This car follows the same pattern. It has had eight owners in total, with only four since 2003. The last owner has a collection of NSXs. It was his pride and joy.  

Like all our cars, it is in excellent condition, having just had our NSX-specific 115 point pre-sales check over. Everything works correctly, including the climate control. The sound from the original Bose Hi-Fi is excellent. We have recently upgraded the ABS to the much improved post-year 2000 OEM Honda NSX system.

If you are looking for a classic car that you can use either every day or just on special occasions, is easy to drive, reliable, and won’t deteriorate; then this is the perfect solution.

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 NSXs 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.

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. Don’t be put off by the mileage: We have seen NSXs with half the km on the odometer that are in much poorer condition than this. It is properly maintained, with excellent paint and the interior has hardly worn.

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 delivery and registration in the EU. We can accept payment in Pounds Sterling on in Euros.

If this is particular car not for you, please contact us if you are looking for a LHD NSX. We have many contacts in the USA and throughout Europe, including owners of NSXs that are not currently openly advertised for sale.

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.

A classic, super-low mileage, original, perfect NSX.  Berlina black with black leather. Manual, non-PAS.

This car has now arrived in the UK, with all duty and taxes paid. Bought from an owner of a huge car collection, this car has covered only 6,661 km from new....under 4,200 miles...

Didn’t you always promise yourself a car like this one day?

What gives the NSX its status amongst classic cars?  Is it the fact that it’s not a Ferrari? Or the fact that it was the most advanced production car of its day? Or that the owners understand about engineering excellence?

It’s no surprise to learn that the best price for any classic car will go to those with the lowest mileage and those that are maintained in the best condition. A cared-for NSX in as-new condition will also give more pleasure when it is driven. We drive many NSX’s and, to be honest, it’s easy to forget the difference between a new car and one that has done tens of thousands of miles. Whilst the NSX will never age like any ordinary car, there is nothing like the feeling of a new car. Something about the sense of occasion when you drive it; the cleanliness; the smell of the interior; the sharpness of the steering and suspension; or the faultless paintwork, make driving an as-new car special. 

This car is simply indistinguishable from new. It has to be seen to be believed.

As Honda said in the NSX brochure: “You’ll almost never park next to another one”. Well, one thing is for sure, you’ll never park next to another NSX like this one.

If your intention is to have it as an investment and sell on at a later date; or to drive everyday and enjoy; or just to keep, treasure, and derive that unique pleasure of ownership, it doesn’t matter. This is simply the best NSX available worldwide.

The Nordschleife is arguably the most popular, most demanding and longest circuit for road-car track-days, magazine tests, prototype testing and race events. There are very few cars that can lap in under 8 minutes.  Even fewer in 2002.  So when Motoharu Kurosawa drove a standard NSX-R, in a time of a 7:56 (in damp conditions), it was a revelation that confirmed just how good the NSX was.

This particular car is a 1992 car in Sebring Silver with black leather.  It has had some intelligent upgrades: the result of which is a car that looks fantastic on the road; and will be an unusual, and enjoyable occasional track-day car.

The inspiration for this car is Honda’s “Type R” NSX.  This car has Type R springs, dampers and anti-roll bars; uprated brakes; and wide Enkei 17” front and 18” rear wheels with Pirelli P7 tyres.

The engine has been mildly tuned with better induction and exhausts.  It has been lightened and balanced; has an uprated clutch; close ratio gearbox and an OS Giken limited slip differential.

Inside it has added carbon fibre; a removable steering wheel; “Type R” Gear knob and “Type R” floor mats. The previous owner had the car since 2006, spent a fortune, and really loved this car.

The car is UK supplied (despite the US rear bumper and "Acura" rear badge!), is HPI clear, and as usual we have carried out a thorough check over and done any work required.  For example we have changed the cam belt, tensioner, cam belt, battery, brake pads, etc etc.  So the car is excellent mechanically, and great to drive.

1992 Manual Coupe

66,000 Miles

First registered in the Republic Of Ireland, this car was totally restored by us.

The car was thoroughly inspected by our NSX mechanics.  We work on these cars everyday so we are best placed to identify and fix all NSX issues.

In consultation with both the seller and the buyer, we agreed a programme of work to turn what was a rather average NSX back to better-than-new.

We did a full repaint.  Every separate part of the body work was removed, stripped, prepared and painted in either gleaming Berlinetta Black, or the correct NSX-specific high-gloss black for the roof, B-pillars, door trims and door handles.  No masking tape was used in the restoration, to ensure a perfect, factory finish.

All steel parts were either anodised or powder coated depending on original finish.

A full engine refresh was done, including cam belt, water pump, oil pump, LMAs, etc etc.

Finally, some tasteful upgrades were added by the owner:  NSX-correct BBS LM split rim wheels with Yokohama tyres.  Bilstein sports suspension and lowered springs.  NSX Type R brakes, carbon bonnet, steering wheel and gear lever.

It was his dream car!

Honda NSX’s will never go down in value.  If you have admired the thinking mans’ Ferrari, now is the time to buy.

Envisioned by Soichiro Honda; handling developed by Ayton Senna; owned by Gordon Murray, Ron Dennis, and Jenson Button to name but three.

A sports car with usability and practicality at the heart of its ethos, but it is still a special occasion when you drive one.

This NSX is a 1992 Manual, in the classic red with black roof.  Over it’s 22 year life, It has covered 114,000 miles, with seven owners.  That’s not unusual for an NSX.  With Honda reliability and durability, high mileage (as long, like this one, it is supported by a full documented service history) is not a problem.  In fact, low mileage cars (that have been stored and under-used), tend to be more unreliable!

We have just carried out full service, including a cam belt, water pump, and crank pulley change.  We have given the car a very thorough check over.  The car is faultless, and ready to enjoy.

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 combines build quality, reliability, durability and everyday drivability. Everything on it is unique. The chassis, powertrain, even the air conditioning are peerless. The aluminum body is beautiful.  

The philosophy of creating a sports car for human beings is apparent throughout. Especially an Auto NSX - it’s just a joy to drive. The suspension and ride is perfect, even today, 30 years after its design.  It’s a classic you can own; take out for a drive whenever you like; and not worry about it breaking down or rotting away! 

This particular car is UK supplied and was first registered on 28th February 1991. Only 47,500 miles. We know the previous owners (since 2004) and they have carefully and lovingly maintained this NSX to the highest standards. The car has a full, documented service history, with all MOTs, showing low, consistent usage which is so important in order to keep an NSX running as it should. It has passed the MOT every year with no advisories.  The cam belt was changed less than 1000 miles ago..

Hence the car is in excellent condition, in both mechanically and cosmetically. It looks sunning and will be a delight to own and drive. We have given the car our NSX-specific 115-point pre-sales check over and everything works as it should, including climate control, and original Bose Hi-Fi.

Thirty-one years ago, the automotive world was very different. Honda had supreme confidence in its engineering excellence. Overseen by new CEO Nobuhiko Kawamoto (who had motorsport and fast cars in his blood), the design brief for the NSX was to make the best sports car in the world. Honda’s engineers were instructed to create a light, usable, fast, functional machine. Unlike most supercars of the day, it had to be capable of being used everyday, but exhilarating when desired.

Fortified by a booming Japanese economy, the engineering priesthood was housed in separate premises, untroubled by the dull businesses of marketing and accounting. It didn’t really seem to matter that customers were not lining up to buy Honda's NSX. The objective was simple – make a sports car that was better than any Ferrari or Porsche.

Gordon Murray, designer of possibly the world’s best supercar (The McLaren F1) said there was only one contemporary supercar he tried to emulate: The NSX.

He later said that the McLaren matched or exceeded the first NSX in every area apart from ride quality. Praise indeed. The original NSX was one of the best cars ever.

If you are looking to buy an NSX that best preserves this ethos, then this is it:

C12 NSX (this personalised plate is included with the sale) was first registered in May 1991. It is in the rare Sebring Silver with high-gloss black roof and an excellent black leather interior. Of the 113 3.0lt manual coupes sold in the UK, only 13 were this specification. It is perfectly original, unmodified and fastidiously maintained, having covered only 69,972 miles. It has an excellent service history, showing consistent, light use. We have the original handbook / service book, and a thick file of invoices and supporting documents.

It has only had three owners, the current owner having had the car since 2012.

We have just completed our NSX-specific check over and have prepared for sale, fixing anything that needs doing. It has just had a com-belt replacement.

An engineering masterpiece that will not be out of place either as part of a collection, a one-off investment, or just to use and enjoy!

Arguably the NSX is one of the best cars ever. It’s a classic. A supercar that you can use everyday. It does everything right. It is depreciation proof. And it makes you feel better when you drive it

Every once in a while we have an NSX in for sale that is simply exceptional. This is an excellent example of such a car.

It was supplied new by Guy Salmon Honda, Thames Ditton on 3rd May 1991. Since then it has had five owners (the last two we have known well - since 2012) and has covered only 49,334 miles. It has superb paintwork in the classic Formula Red with black roof. The interior is unmarked with excellent soft, black leather. The condition underneath is excellent.

It has a full documented service history, properly maintained (including a cam belt service by us), has never been in an accident, and is completely standard and original in all respects. Everything works as it should, including climate control, electronic power steering and Bose Hi-Fi.

We have just carried a detailed inspection and appraisal and the car is in the condition that one would expect from a car with this provenance. We will carry out an annual service and issue a new MOT before delivering to the new owner. This is without question one of the best classic NSX available today. It ticks all the boxes: UK supplied; full, documented service history, clearly lovingly maintained.

It is beautiful. Just brilliant.

The NSX is an appreciating classic that is unusual because in its day it was the only true sports car available as an automatic.

H692 KPL was supplied new by Shepperton Honda on 16th May 1991 to its first owner, Mr J Kennedy of Kensington, London, having placed a deposit almost year earlier. The list price was £56,648. A copy of the original sales invoice is included in the extensive service history. That's the equivalent of £143,700 now.

Ownership passed to the second owner, Mr C Bibra, on 18th November 1996; and then to its third and current owner, on 30th October 2006. After seventeen years of happy driving, he is selling as he now purchased a second generation NSX. The personalised registration (G6 NSX) is now on the the new car so H692 KPL will be re-assigned.

This NSX 3.0ltr 4-speed Auto is the classic Formula Red with black leather. We have just carried out a full check over, completed a cam belt service, fitted new tyres and prepared the car for sale. It has covered 86,250 miles.

It is in original, standard specification. 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!

It has only had three owners, the current owner having had the car since 2009.

We have just completed our NSX-specific check over and have prepared for sale, fixing anything that needs doing - the result of which will be a car close to as it was in 1991.

From time to time, a really well maintained NSX comes back to us to sell. It’s nice for the owner: whilst it’s hard to part with their treasured possession, they can be assured it will go to a good home for the next owner to enjoy. It’s good for us: we don’t have to do much - apart from our NSX-specific check over - it’s already perfectly clean, properly serviced, and ready to go. But most of all its great for the buyer: knowing they are buying the best value NSX available.

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 sought-after manual, in the classic red with black roof. First registered on 1st June 1991, UK supplied by Chiswick Honda, H7 NSX is the original registration from new. Over its 29 year life, it has covered 95,750 miles, with six owners. That’s not unusual for an NSX. With Honda reliability and durability, higher mileage (as long as, like this one, it is supported by a full documented service history and a thick file of receipts and old MOT certificates) is not a problem.

The previous owner, a fastidious car collector, has spent much time looking after and cleaning this beautiful NSX, 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.

Arguably the NSX is one of the best cars ever. It’s a classic. A supercar that you can use everyday. It does everything right. It is depreciation proof. And it makes you feel better when you drive it

Every once in a while we have an NSX in for sale that is simply exceptional. This is an excellent example of such a car.

It was supplied new by Marshall Honda, Hull on 1st August 1991. Since then it has only had two owners (the last since 1995) and has covered only 26,100 miles. It has superb, original paint in the classic Formula Red with black roof. The interior is unmarked with excellent soft, black leather. The condition underneath is excellent.

It has a full documented service history, properly maintained (including a cam belt service last year), has never been in an accident, and is completely standard and original in all respects. Everything works as it should, including climate control, electronic power steering and Bose Hi-Fi.

We have just carried a detailed inspection and appraisal and the car is in the condition that one would expect from a car with this provenance. We will carry out an annual service and issue a new MOT before delivering to the new owner. This is without question the best classic NSX available today. It is beautiful. Just brilliant.

Many people ask: What’s better, a UK supplied NSX or the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) equivalent?

Well, like a lot of things, that’s a matter of personal taste and your own particular priorities.

Many people buy JDM performance cars because the equivalent is simply not available in the UK market. The Type-R, Type-S and NSX-R where never officially imported into the UK, so if you want one of these, you have no choice.

But a more humble standard NSX Auto? UK Supplied or JDM?

The market for JDM cars was spoilt in the early 2000’s when the exchange rate was favourable and many unscrupulous dealers jumped on the bandwagon selling the cars that Japan didn’t want. Many poor cars were bought in the Japanese auctions, shipped to the UK and sold as ‘perfect’.

But the situation has now changed and many buyers prefer to buy cars from Japan as, actually, the majority tend to be well looked after and are completely corrosion free. The downside is often the provenance is more difficult to establish than with a UK car.

Here’s a perfect example. It’s a 1991 JDM Auto NSX. Of course not everyone will share my fascination with this sort of minutia, but here are the differences between this car and a UK supplied NSX:

• a KPH speedo (that we can change to mph, of course);

• a FM stereo that only gets BBC Radio 2, (also easy to change);

• a Japanese 11-digit chassis number (as opposed to the EU/US 17-digit VIN);

• a little key slot in the gearchange so you can select neutral when the ignition is off;

• a warning buzzer if you leave the key in the ignition with the doors open;

• a warning chime when in reverse;

• a ‘half-height’ radio aerial switch;

• a few Japanese stickers here and there;

• Japanese labelling on the cruise control switch (all other switches are in English);

• the interior trim on centre console, ash tray cover and switch panels on the doors are a very slightly different finish to those on UK cars;

• thicker pile carpet;

• different headlining trim;

• different tint on the rear lights (we have fitted a UK fog light that is normally absent on JDM cars);

• no headlight washers; and

• a smaller rear number plate.

That’s it. Otherwise identical to the UK equivalent. Except a little cheaper.

It’s completely corrosion free, has original paint and excellent leather interior. We have given it our 115 point NSX-specific check over and everything works as it should. We have carried out a fresh cam-belt service, changed all fluids and fitted new tyres. It’s just passed the MOT with no advisories. So it’s ready to enjoy.

It’s currently unregistered. All taxes and duties have been paid. We will process the UK registration for the buyer and hence they will be the first UK owner.

£45,000

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.

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.

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!

What does "Honda" mean to you?

Is it that Honda are the manufacturer of inexpensive cars, generating sets and outboard motors? Nothing special when it comes to engineering?

Or do you think of Honda as the firm that has made some of the best engineered and most reliable cars in the world?  The firm that won the Manufacturer's Team award at its first visit to the Isle of Man TT in the late 50's and went on to win 138 Motorcyle World Championship races in the 60's?  The firm that entered Formula One racing in 1964 (just four years after the production of its first road car), going on to win three F1 races as a constructor and an incredible 68 as an engine supplier?

If you are considering buying an NSX, you will be in the latter group!

What's the best way to describe this car? My immediate thought is a quote by the founder of the Honda Motor Co., Soichiro Honda:

“Products don’t lie.  If a product is really good, it will succeed.  What did we at Honda intend when we created our products?  That our products will speak the truth about Honda. “

Well, this car manifestly speaks the truth about Honda products.  

It is possibly one of the highest mileage NSX in the UK, having covered 180,000 miles. However this beautiful, original UK-supplied NSX has:

- just passed the MOT with no advisories;

- normal oil pressure;

- an excellent clutch and smooth gear-change; 

- main-dealer service history and all MOTs;

- unmarked black leather interior; and

- excellent paintwork with no signs of accident damage.

It looks and drives like it's done a third of the miles showing on the odometer.  

Which makes it a perfect example of the excellence of Honda engineering, and therefore a bargain.

Twenty-five years ago, the automotive world was very different.  Honda had supreme confidence in its engineering excellence. Overseen by new CEO Nobuhiko Kawamoto (who had motorsport and fast cars in his blood), the design brief for the NSX was to make the best sports car in the world.  Honda’s engineers were instructed to create a light, usable, fast, functional machine. Unlike most supercars of the day, it had to be capable of being used everyday, but exhilarating when desired.

Fortified by a booming Japanese economy, the engineering priesthood was housed in separate premises, untroubled by the dull businesses of marketing and accounting. It didn’t really seem to matter that customers were not lining up to buy Honda's NSX. The objective was simple – make a sports car that was better than any Ferrari or Porsche.

Gordon Murray, designer of possibly the world’s best supercar (The McLaren F1) said there was only one contemporary supercar he tried to emulate:  The NSX.

He later said that the McLaren matched or exceeded the first NSX in every area apart from ride quality.  Praise indeed.  The original NSX was one of the best cars ever.

If you are looking to buy a collectable NSX that best preserves this ethos, then this is it:

H18NDA (the original registration from new) was first registered in May 1991.  It is in the iconic Formula Red with high-gloss black roof and an excellent black leather interior.  It is perfectly original, unmodified and fastidiously maintained, having covered only 39,900 miles.  It has a perfect service history, showing consistent, light use.  It has no fewer than 27 Honda main dealer services, including three cam-belt changes.  We have the original handbook / service book, and a thick file of invoices and supporting documents.

We have just completed our NSX-specific check over and have prepared for sale, fixing anything that needs doing - the result of which will be a car just like it was in 1991.  An engineering masterpiece that will not be out of place either as part of a collection, a one-off investment, or just to use and enjoy!

Classic sports cars have become the 'investment of choice' for those in-the-know in recent years.

What’s the best classic to buy? Well that depends on your budget of course, but the NSX should be on your shortlist.  It overturns conventional thinking with regards to classic sports cars in one crucial respect:  It’s a genuine classic sports car that all owners can enjoy – a pleasure to own, utterly satisfying, great to drive without being intimidating, with light, easy controls and confident handling right out on the limits. 

It’s a mid engined two-seater you can use whenever you want to. A dream classic without the downsides of classic car ownership. It won’t rust. Or break down. Or be a pig to drive.

What’s the best NSX to own?  Arguably, it’s the quintessential red-with-black-roof original car.  First released in 1990, almost half the NSXs sold in the UK were first registered in 1991.

We have four matching 1991 manual NSXs for sale at the moment, all in the iconic Formula Red with Black Leather.

The first has 178,000 miles and priced at £28,000;

The second has 119,000 miles, priced at £39,000;

The third has 38,000 miles, priced at £55,000;

…and this one, the best, with only 12,900 miles, is realistically priced at £75,000. 

It is possible the best NSX we have ever seen (and we have seen more than anyone else, probably worldwide). UK supplied, five owners, full history, all MOTs - completely faultless.  It’s about as close to 'like new' as you will find - and that’s confident sales talk if there ever was.

If you are looking for a classic NSX, and want the best, then this is it.

1991 Manual Coupe

Sebring Silver with black leather.

Classic cars are becoming more and more popular as investments.  If you had invested £37,000 in the FTSE 100 exactly a year ago today; it'll now be worth £32,700 (a loss of 13%, before any charges).

If you had bought £37,000 of US dollars, it'll now be worth £34,900  (a loss of 6%, before any charges).

Even if you simply left it in the bank, you would be lucky to see just a small increase.

However, had you bought an NSX a year ago; you would be looking at a very nice appreciation: 20-25%, easily.  More importantly, you would have a useable asset.  One which you can derive a special pleasure from owning, unlike a share certificate or a bank statement!

It's what they call in investment circles a "no-brainer".

This car is a fresh Japan Import, purchased direct from the previous owner. It has covered 69,600 miles and comes complete with the Japanese service history and provenance. 

We have just completed our full NSX-specific check over and cam belt service.  We have replaced anything that was required: including a replacement clutch and four new tyres.  A new MOT has just been issued with no advisories. It has excellent paintwork and leather.

It currently has the Type-R "stereo-delete" option, but we can fit either a modern stereo; double-din stereo/sat nav; or original Bose Hi-Fi at extra cost.

It has a UK registration and ready to enjoy.  It will not depreciate; and will be a joy to own, drive, or simply look at gaining in value in your garage.

In 1991 the NSX was an engineering masterpiece and was the most expensive Japanese car by some distance, at £55,000 in this specification.  That’s the equivalent of £82,500 in today’s money…. Add the cost of 23 years professional storage and you have a £100,000 motor car.  It won’t be long before the best NSXs will command this price…..

First registered on the 14th March 1991, this car has been owned by the same pilot / engineer owner from new.  It has covered just 16,200 miles, has never been out in the rain, and has been dry-stored with amazing attention to detail (under a dust sheet, with the suspension gently loaded, doors open as to not crush the seals, connected to a battery conditioner, etc etc).  It has perfect, original paint, and unmarked black leather. The condition underneath is the best we have ever seen.  It is spotless.

We have just carried a detailed inspection and appraisal and the car is in as-new condition with no faults. We will carry out a cambelt service before delivering to the new owner.  This is without question the best classic NSX available today.

A classic, mileage, original, perfect NSX. Berlina black with black leather. Manual, non-PAS.

All duty and taxes paid. Bought directly from the owner in Japan, this car has covered only 37,561 km from new.... under 23,500 miles...
 

The car is in excellent condition having been fastidiously cared for.  It even has the protective plastic material still on the sill-panels! It has to be seen to be believed.

It’s no surprise to learn that the best price for any classic car will go to those with the lowest mileage and those that are maintained in the best condition. A cared-for NSX in as-new condition will also give more pleasure when it is driven. We drive many NSX’s and, to be honest, this one is exceptional. Something about the sense of occasion when you drive it; the cleanliness; the smell of the interior; the sharpness of the steering and suspension; or the faultless paintwork, make driving this car car special. 

If your intention is to have as an investment and sell on at a later date; or to drive everyday and enjoy; or just to keep, treasure, and derive that unique pleasure of ownership, it doesn’t matter. Many consider the NSX to be under-valued when compared to the equivalent Porsche or Ferrari.  The bottom line is this:  Drive a classic Porsche or Ferrari, then drive an NSX. Then you decide which car is the best value for money.

A sports car you can use every day. That was Honda's advertising strap line back in 1991, and it's still true today.

Twenty eight years later, the NSX still sets standards of performance, luxury, technology that are hard to match.

It is simply hugely superior to almost all other sports cars of its age and type. It is as beautiful now as it was then. The timeless shape, the beautifully forged aluminum suspension parts, the fantastic engine…. What more reasons does one need to own an NSX?

This car, a 3.0litre Auto, is an appreciating classic that can be driven everyday, without the problems associated with many classic sports cars. Equally capable of being driven from home to the shops on a Sunday morning, or a blast down to the South of France.

Since being imported from Japan in 2006 it has been lovingly looked after and lightly used. We have the original history from Japan, as well as a fully stamped service book from the UK, and all MOTs, showing light, consistent usage. It has just had a Honda main-dealer cam-belt service.

The excellent F9 NSX registration number is included in the sale.

Charlotte Green with black leather.

Fresh Japan Import with 80,200 miles.

We have just completed our full NSX-specific check over and service.  A new MOT has just been issued with no advisories. It has excellent paintwork and leather.

There is quite a bit of prejudice when it comes to Japanese imports.  We think this stems from unscrupulous dealers that used to bring in cars that the Japanese market didn't want and sell them in the UK for a quick profit.  This is not the case here. This car has been individually selected, properly prepared, and is ready to use in the UK.  After all, all NSXs came from Japan originally!

If you are looking for an every-day classic car that will not depreciate, that is easy to drive and can be used for a long weekend trip or just down to the shops, then this is the one.  

It has a UK registration and ready to enjoy.

A sports car you can use every day. That was Honda's advertising strap line back in 1990, and it's still true today.

Twenty four years later, the NSX still sets standards of performance, luxury, technology that are hard to match.

This car, a 3.0litre Auto, is an appreciating classic that can be driven everyday, without the problems associated with many classic sports cars. Equally capable of being driven from home to the shops on a Sunday morning, or a blast down to the South of France.

Remarkably, this car has had one owner from new, and has covered 56,800 miles.  It has been serviced by the local Honda main dealer, or by us, every year.

The owner lives in the UK in the summer, and in the Southern Hemisphere in our winter. So this car has only been driven in the summer months in the UK.

Hence it has been perfectly maintained (we have just completed a cam-belt service); lovingly looked after; and lightly used.
