RE: Honda NSX | Spotted
Discussion
It's lovely, but you can still get a really good mk1 manual for well under £100k so I can't see anyone buying this example at that price with any intention of actually driving it. If it sells (which if it's as good as it looks I suspect it will) it'll be to someone else who does what it seems the original owner did - park it in a garage than rarely if ever touch it.
Service history is patchy to say the least though. Given it clearly wasn't being driven, I've no idea how much effect that has on cars like this.

I also remember looking at one of these in 2007 for 10/11k. I had a shortlist of NSX, E30 M3 and G-Body 911 for a budget of 10k. I ended up going for a 77 911 SC because it was the only one I would not have to pay importation tax on as it was the only one over 30 years and I had nothing left in the kitty for extras.
It was not the right choice, I always hated that 915 box. I sampled a M3 but never got round to having a go in a NSX.

£145k for a car that's a bit average? Err...sod that.
What's average about it?300bhp/ton said:
Wasn't the 3 litre a tad slow compared to contemporary peers? Seem to recall period reviews not liking the steering either. But maybe it was just the autos that suffered performance wise.
The EPAS wasn't great in terms of feel but this is an unassisted car. Straight line performance was there or there abouts with the F348 and Esprit turbo which were its most obvious competitors in Europe.
ETA: I think the performance thing is a bit of a moot point these days anyway. They'd all be left behind by some fairly mundane modern stuff.

Nice to see Pistonheads appreciating the NSX.(and that is a stunning example)...mine was kindly picked as a 'favourite' in the Goodwood MM car park a few weeks ago;
I've soft spot for the red from this era of Honda, but got to admit that shade of blue really really suits it. You're a lucky person!Edited by WhyOne on Monday 16th May 17:45

How low did NSXs get at one point? 15 maybe? Not in that condition perhaps but it’s definitely a car that demonstrates how much the market for interesting stuff has appreciated.
Price aside, that’s absolutely stunning. Much want.
Bought and sold my NA2 for 24K in 2002. There were cars available at 16-18K still. Crazy. Price aside, that’s absolutely stunning. Much want.
A trader friend of mine had a Cat D one in the early 2000s and loved it - he even did a few track days in it!
I've lost count of the number of times he has said he wished he still had it.
The Red ex-Senna one was at a PH Sunday Service at Honda in Bracknell back in 2015. I was shocked to see it was an Auto! Still I did get to sit in it.
