Hi,

Sounds lke a super rare car and guess its one of the final 12 being in that color combo. Think I've seen photos of it in the past. To help aid your sale, would be worth doing up an add with good photos maybe?

Also that's an extremely nice and kind gesture for your son, he should be very proud.

[nobby]

Agree with the post above a really kind and gracious offer for your son ... I hope he appreciates you and your potential sacrifice.

Get a For Sale ad up and a few pics ... Few wannabe owners on here so she should see a good home, failing that a dealer or person from Hong Kong will most likely snap it off your hands!

[NSX-FAN]

This is the car in question, hope you dont mind me posting. Absolutely gorgeous interior.

[Sudesh]

That's the one alright! Beautiful, love the color of the car.

[nobby]

lovely car ... hopefully does not end up in Hong Kong : (

[Senninha]

Yep, I remember this one from last year. IIRC you own a lift similar to Kaz so that you can keep the underside in tip top condition too!

IMO, best body colour there is for an 02 ... best of luck either way

[wchestnutt]

Oh wow that is beautiful! In your position I would probably be waiting a few years and the release of the new NSX, sure we are going to see the prices soar...

[soddy]

love the blue leather seats, first time i've ever seen an nsx interior in that colour, looks cool. : )

very nice car, hope it is appreciated your selling of it and it goes to a really good home, good luck.

[Papalazarou]

This has to be one of the most desirable cars in the UK. I'd be really interested to see how much it makes if sold. I'd guess £60k+. I know some will wince at this, but it's perfectly explicable if you think about it. Good luck with the sale.

Cheers,

James.

[TheSebringOne]

I think James's estimation is quite realistic, I was thinking mid to late £50Ks.

Silverstone is fantastic on the NSX - looks like they forgot to paint it!

Hi Andy - I have sent you a pm.

looks an amazing car, whats the significance with the number 12, im guessing there was some kind of report of 12 more cars being made?

There were 12 special edition type cars made as the final run before production end in the UK only.

ah great thank you, i remember on top gear when they announced stopping production, felt the same when they grounded concord!

Has this NSX been sold as it was removed from Pistonheads

[Sudesh]

Maybe the add just expired?

[goldtop]

Yes, a lot of ads expired this last week, it seems. Or else about 4 sold in a week.

I noticed that M15NSX (white JDM auto, previously hondaboy's) also disappeared a couple of weeks ago.

Guessing yours will be straight on there if it has sold?!

[TheSebringOne]

May be the snow & weather is a factor & people waiting until Spring?

[Marky]

My friend offered £60,000 for the car and it was refused. So I guess he is holding out for £65,000 or doesn't need to sell it now. My car is not going anywhere! It has been in the showroom at Honda Chiswick for the last few months. They are delivering it back to me this week, so if anyone fancies an NSX meet on Sunday let me know. I'm in NW London but happy to travel 30 mins or so.

[nobby]

Glad to hear it Mark, you have a stunning example!

[Papalazarou]

I think that's got a lot to do with it. Many people hibernate over the winter then start looking around March.
Nice to see the silverstone car getting such strong a offer though. Certainly it's a reinforcement of the growing popularity of these cars and a vee to all the blinkered P & F car enthusiasts! In context, it means they are now making the same or more than; 355's, 993's, 996 GT3's, 360's, etc. got to be a well deserved kick in the teeth for someone;-)

Cheers.

As Clarkson, May and Hammond said on Sundays Top Gear, Classics are going through the roof at the moment, but it's not just your established classics like E Types and MGB's but Mk1 and 2 Golf GTi's, Peugeot 205 GTi's, Ford Cosworths etc, and I would say the NSX is becoming or is a classic now, but we have discussed this before.

The late 80's early nineties is seems to be the current wave of nostalgia. I followed a thread a while ago on PH with a £65K RS500 being discussed. Certainly the 205 is firming up well.

Cheers.

I'm trying to decide what I do with my 205 as she could do with some TLC, do I sell, or do I spend money on doing her up:(

[flyingsniffer]

Do I wish I had kept my 4 speed Mk1 Golf GTi 1.6 (ex Nigel Mansell), Mk 2 Escort, 205 GTi 1.6, Austin Healey Sprite.

[embarrassing revelation] Even my 2CV Spot [/embarrassing revelation]. I mean, look at the price of it! http://www.the2cvshop.co.uk/spot_sales.html

[WhyOne?]

That 2CV is excellent!

I also regret selling mine ( a more mundane red example). it was great fun to drive and taught me more about preserving momentum than any other car I have owned.

I used to push ours to school when I was ten.
Ref. keeping the old 'classics.' I sold my mk1 Mexico when I was 18 for less than 2K. I remember at the time, it was near impossible to sell. Now they're making very good money. I also has a 205 and a Strada Abarth. If I miss any of those it was the Fiat.

Cheers.

I had two Mk 1 Escort mexicos both sold for about £800 back in the day, if only I had kept them. Also had a Mk1 cortina 1500 GT in Lotus colours, that rarer still and I've seen them make 15-20k. It's all down to us fourty somethings reliving our youth.
I took the NSX to an open day at The Wheel Specialst in Ferndown a few weeks back and a guy there took loads of photos and told me both he and his mate thought it the best car there. This was high praise as it was in the company of a Lambo and a DB9. There is a great deal of affection out there for our Japansses Supercar and as these people move through life and acquire some disposable income they will buy the dream cars of their youth, that's what will make them a classic.

[TheSebringOne]

Interesting car now on PH.

[simonprelude]

So is it a 1991, 1994 or 1998?

[WhyOne?]

1991......

[Marky]

I regret selling my 1991 BMW E30 M3 Sport Evo for £15,500 back in 1999. They are now fetching around £65,000 at Munich Legends. What a great car too, dog leg gearbox and sublime handling and 238bhp from a four pot. The NSX is a special car, but Porsche and Ferrari have moved the game on. Honda could really have upgraded the brakes in 2002 and given the car another 30bhp (at least outside of Japan), that would have made it the same as the Porsche 996 4S which at the time was its closest rival (and beat it in a group test). Fortunately for us the NSX has slowly crept back up to the asking price of £60,000 whilst the 996 4S has dropped to £25,000 (great value now).

[WhyOne?]

Interesting though isnt it....the 996, being an iteration of the 911, a car which no one could ever accuse Porsche of not beating with the development-stick on a regular basis, is languishing price-wise whilst the poor, neglected NSX is going through something of a renaissance with buyers.

You can buy 4s models for allot less than that! The 996 was not the sought after model either, its the 993 which are fetching good money now.

NA2's seem to be matching and in many cases surpassing the so called sought after models from a number of manufactures.
The 996 had none of the beauty of the 964 or the build quality of the 993. If it had, the 996 GT3 would be making serious money now and not being compressed by the subsequent incarnation.
I never really viewed the C4 as the direct competitor for the NSX. The C2 and S would be a fairer comparison.
The NSXR comparable to the GT3.
The NSX I think is a non threatening ownership proposition distant from a world of horrific bills, level 2 over-revs, rear main seal and intermediate shaft failure, ovalized bores, bore scoring and questionable residuals. I'm not saying the NSX is free from issues. Just none of those mentioned. And all these issues from the 'reliable German sports car.' GT3 excluded.
Probably the worst insult for 996-997 pre-DI owner is the need for expensive warranty, and the continual slip in residuals.
Put into perspective, a well specced 997 CS was an £80K car.

Cheers.

[Marky]

Very true, but the 996 4S was the car they compared it to as it was the closest I terms of price and power output. I totally agree, the air cooled cars are the best.
