2002 car - less than 6000k's on the clock.

Listed as Monte Carlo Blue Pearl - very nice colour.

Shame the interior has been mucked about with for such a low-mileage example.

Is there something different on the top of the engine between the front cylinder bank and the bulkhead? I notice that there is an after-market air box, and a nasty looking gauge on the dashboard.

And you would have thought that the seats would be a matching pair for that sort of money - 71k plus fees !!

My favourite NSX colour. But looking a little strange on a facelift?!

Cheers.

I like the colour.
The extra gauge looks like a large rev counter? Hard to say from the blurry pic. The 'extra' bits in the engine bay look like some sort of ignition system, looks like a few other extra pipes in the engine bay too which may indicate a turbo installation?

I would guess some sort of after market fuel ingection system, may be NoS?

Like Papa, looks a bit unusual on a NA2 +02.

For mr this has more class the lbbp .... Shouldn't be too difficult to put back in top condition ... Not liking the ricy single seat downgrade ....

Is it my eyes? The Rover looks quite low next to it?

"I would guess some sort of after market fuel injection system, may be NoS?", - they just look like remote mounted coil packs with a spark plug lead [presumably] going to the plug - class!

Colour is gorgeous, side skirts less so.

Agree with that! Wouldn't take much to put it right.
