After a great many BMW's and some British beef, I thought I'd dip my toe into the world of Japanese stuff. The NSX has always been a dream car of mine so I had to buy one before prices crept up any further! I sold my B3 3.0 Switch-Tronic, scraped my savings together and bought this, the cheapest manual on the market.

I bought from Plans, the Surrey based NSX specialist. 121k miles, lots of history and I managed to get a cambelt service and seat connolising into the bargain.

Initial impressions are excellent and anybody who has done a little research will realise how revolutionary these were when they came out. Needless to say, they drive like a much newer car! I took it up to my mates in Shropshire (he ownes a 996) and we tore about the country roads in the rain. The Honda felt very planted and held it's own. I managed to do 800 miles in the first week of ownership, it's just so useable driving

Here are some piccies. Cheers!

Fantastic. A dream car for me as well. Congratulations. I've browsed the Plans cars a few times (dreaming) - they seem like great cars and a very honest place to buy one from.

Nice motor, always liked these.

And with a good number of miles so at least you can drive it without worrying about 'de-valuing it' !

I never had much love for the NSX when they first came out but totally changed my mind now. Yours looks great, hope you continue to enjoy it!

Think I saw you the other day.
I saw it in my mirror and wondered what it was at first it’s been that long since I’ve seen one on the road.
Looks absolutely stunning. In the best colour too.

Stunning. They could put that back in production today and it would sell.

Blimey! That seat looks like it's done 21k rather than 121. In fact, the whole of it does - you could easily knock the first digit of the odometer back to 0 and nobody would be any the wiser based on condition!

Stunning colour combo too, these look great with the black pillars and roof.

If I was buying one I'd look for a mint one with a few miles on, exactly like this, 'cause then I wouldn't feel bad about using it as intended.

Great car.
