Collected my new car last week, and what a car she is, I've only driven from the garage to home so I can't yet give a detailed review. But I can say she is very fast, and it only took a mile or so before we got our first comments on the car by a lorry driver who was really impressed, then got followed by a Mercedes SLK who was filming us on his phone.

I must say huge thank you to Crown Honda of Hendon for their service, they really looked after us and made sure we were the most important customers for the day, plus gave us a few extra presents that we were not expecting.

I must say stealth mode is really cool!

Fantastic
great to see a forum member be one of the 1st!

look forward to reading about your ownership

just class to have 2 NSX's

[Pride]

Congrats Paul, it looks fabulous.👍👌🎉

[lotusolly]

Congratulations Paul, looks amazing and hope it's been worth the wait.

Now its time to arrange a mini meet and show it off :)

[Plans Performance]

Congratulations, brilliant car. I agree - Stealth / Quiet mode is the best thing about it!

[SHAWD]

Great colour choice too, shows off the styling really well.
Lovely Christmas present !

[exiges1]

Great to see one in private ownership at last. Judging by the video's I've watched of the new car I'm sure it will be a thrill to drive and will attract lots of attention.

[Nick Graves]

Well done, that man!

Now go wear it out.

Do as I say, not as I do...

[NZNick]

Glad to see that you haven't gone over the top with the CF for 00399 - very subtle & classy.

[Hagasan]

Very nice Paul. Congratulations. Just one thing though, your number plate looks like it's cracked in two already ��

[Kippers]

Looks fabulous, many congrats, not at all jealous ...!!!!

[NSXGB]

Happy Christmas!
Look forward to a passenger ride.

[philboo]

Great to see one in the UK in private hands. Amazing, love the colour.

[havoc]

Lovely Paul...enjoy!

...and can I add myself to the ever growing list for passenger rides! :D

[drmikey]

Nice one Paul. Best colour!

[NSX 2000]

Very nice Paul. Congratulations. Just one thing though, your number plate looks like it's cracked in two already 😆

Not cracked in two, but it is bent. The car has a point at the front so they have bent the number plate to fit around the the front bumper, without having to fit the European number plate holder.

[NZNick]

So that one in the middle of the three on the Crown Honda NSX web page is yours, or is that one silver? - difficult to tell the difference between Casino White & Source Silver in the photos - if they were side-by-side it would be obvious, hopefully.

[Paul G]

Congratulations Paul. It's been a long wait and your are deff a Honda man! It looks stunning and I hope to see it in the flesh in the new year, enjoy :-)

I must be impressed, it's my first post for years! Lol

I was just teasing Paul. Shall we say it's "aerodynamically contoured" then.. Maybe a good idea and it might set a trend?
Post a few more pics if you get the chance... Is everyone gawping at you on the road taking pics? Hope it's been worth the wait and you're enjoying it.....

[WhyOne?]

Looks great Paul.

Enjoy the new car.

I have 'stealth mode' on a much more lowly motor, and it surprised me how much I enjoy wafting about in silence on a wave of instantly available torque.

[dcnsx]

Lovely, it does look great in white!

[Shawnsx5]

Paul,

I like the colour choice and look forward to seeing it in the metal at some stage.

You must be the only Last 12 and First 12 owner?

Neil

[britlude]

.... Aventadors have a 'contoured' number plate too....

[SILVER BULLET]

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, I've gone a funny shade of green, congratulations and best wishes for many fun drives to come

[sorepaws]

not jealous .. not jealous . Oh darn it I am .. so cool Paul congratulations it's been a long wait and totally worth it - will we see both your NSX at the Silverstone Classic in 2017 ?

Love the colour as well (ok I am back to refurbishing the house)

[Ewan]

Awesome news, hope you enjoy it, Paul :)

[NSX 2000]

Thanks for all the comments.

Hope to get out in it this weekend and find some twisty roads, and may be a photo or two.

[marknsx]

There is a plan afoot to steal your car. Im an ex copper so leave it with me and it will be safe.

Were these the extra presents Paul???

If so, what a lovely touch.

No Clive, I'm not sure if they are doing this for the rest of the world or if it's a US only thing.

The presents I got was a very very nice bottle of wine, and if what small but still very very nice carbon fibre key fob with of course NSX engraved on it.

Since then I have had 2 other related things arrive. These are the handover box which has your Silver Service Card, Ownership Certificate (with you VIN number and build Specification) and a book with suggested roads and tracks across Europe that you might take using the different driving modes.

The other being a personalised book about the NC1 NSX.

One in front of the other.

[britlude]

that's just greedy!

they could at least have sorted an NSX plate!!!

and maybe you should have splashed out on windows for the house before a new car..... would make the front of the house a bit more... well... house like! :)

[dcnsx]

Lovely! Did you consider buying in black?

[Sudesh]

Lol. Healthy enjoy my friend.

[NSX 2000]

Lovely! Did you consider buying in black?

Yes I considered it, but I thought having 2 black with red interiors was a bit sad.

I really picked the interior colour first and that left (imo) only black or white for the exterior, and as the designers said that the light colours show of the lines best, (casino) white was choosen.

LOL at the house comment. well spotted!

With regards to the plate, yes a NSX plate would of been nice, however I have bought one, just need to go on line and change it.

[exiges1]

Lucky guy Paul, great photo must be a bugger deciding which one to drive on a sunny morning, I guess one after the other! It may just be familiarity but the 'old girl' still has great presence and poise, less in your face don't you think?

Do do you think there's any similarity between the two?

[NSX 2000]

Do do you think there's any similarity between the two?

Yes, both are very easy to drive! Both at hi and low speeds.

We all know how quickly you can loose your licence in an NA NSX but you can half that in an NC!

Both have very good visibility and ergonomics, but the NA has better visibility when pulling out of a Y junction and the NC when reversing (due to revesing camera fitted as standard).

I would also say they sound similar, probably due to both being V6.

I'd have to agree the white really sets it off nicely and looks stunning. However I'd have to say imo that the darker colours have always suited the original design better. Not being bias or anything! Lol ;)
Nice pad by the way!

[NSXGB]

Time to lose that front plate!

[L696ULO]

I thought it didn't have any windows because it was Paul's garage!

[NSXGB]

I thought it didn't have any windows because it was Paul's garage!

Not the servants quarters??

[Hagasan]

Not the servants quarters??

Surely for butlers rather than servants ;)??

[sorepaws]

actually I thought it was the stable block - a must for every Stately Home.

[Pride]

I think it's his private car collection storage, I'm sure I over heard him talking about his lambo, Ferrari, Maclaren and other exotica.:)

[dcnsx]

Check this out. Nice view out the window! Lol

Paul supports a **** rugby team. Just remember that.

[Senninha]

I bumped into a good friend of mine the other day who is a real petrol head ... he said he spotted a 2 car convoy around the Bracknell area consisting of an NC and a Midnight Purple (he thought) ... maybe twas you out and about ... if not ... more have landed and are being used ...

We did go out in both the other weekend to take NA2 for a service and MoT, but that was Kent, not Bracknell.

You must be desperate to see a London-based team actually win a game ;-)

[Pride]

There's a great Gif (first image) on this link for you to hopefully save Paul, just a shame both cars are in white though.

Great film

Cheers Mark.
Hope you're going to register for the European Tour this year Mark, you will love it, also a good excuse to show our European cousins how to race a kart.😎
