Very nice indeed, appears to be in excellent condition.
Thanks, it's certainly in better condition than the '61 Herald S I traded up from. It has it's little faults, such as an issue in the loom somewhere meaning that my indicators, gauges and wipers don't work - but fixing them is all part of the fun!
talk of having a ramp specifically just for the NSX servicing etc put the owner off at the time 
Honda UK and they're bloody politics no doubt 
I think I would say that like most classics, if you are interested in the man / machine interface, getting it right in an early 911 is a very rewarding experience, enriched by the noise, mechanical nature of the interactions and a turn of speed that is still very useable in modern road conditions. Additionally, befor low profile tyres became de-rigeur, the ride is lovely given the compliance in the tyre but taughtness in the suspension. It is very much a slow-in fast-out car, but like all 911's the throttle can hit the stop just before the apex to sling you back out. Building up a rhythm is very satisfying.

As for the question-learn to drive one properly and later Porsches are easy.!
What, my question? I was just wondering what they're like. I guess they're not that fast but fun. 
As an aside on the subject of learning to drive classics, the most difficult car I've enjoyed so far was a 1934 Aston Martin Ulster with centre throttle (foot brake on right) and mirrored gearbox pattern with 1st/2nd nearest and 3rd/4th away from you. No syncro obviously, so double de-clutch with the pedals reversed and a mirrored gearbox - given it's value at around 3/4 mill it concentrated the mind but fun to drive properly though!
