Sounds promising. Any chance of you scanning it in?

Sorry, wrong type of scanner, but here's a few snippet's

Number in UK 160
Price new £62,995
Price now £29,995 (1995, 14k miles)

The NSX's only crime is that it wasn't shodddily built in Italy.

It was far too easy to drive and lacked heritage, despite the F1 success and a test driver called Senna.

You wont have the temper tantrums that can blight those red cars.

The NSX's charm has improved with age. Its rarer than a Ferrari and more exclusive than a Porsche.

You'll never pass one going the other way

Are there only 160 in the UK? for some reason I thought someone on this forum had said nearer 500!

Where are the other 340?

I also think is close to 500.

It wasn't RE 02 KNO by any chance?? When I looking for my NSX I went to view it. The Honda dealer neglected to say that it was the press car and a complete shed!!

All the above were factors in chosing to buy:cool:

I love the response the car gets and it makes me smile which is the real point of it in the first place. Will have to go and check that article out.

I missed the article but will now go and search.
The value of just under 30K for a 1995 car seems way over the top even if it is a low mileage! If that's correct i'll be very happy.

Is it the angle or is that NSX really high?

I can't believe that they used that purple targa as a benchmark for pricing! Still good for us and even better for the seller I'd imagine!

Has plenty of ground clearance, and suspension travel is amazing (never known a car that needs so much jacking up). Probably what gives a standard NSX its relatively amazing ride quality. My NSX has a more compliant ride than my Audi A6.

Let's hope so - I know F40s appreciate at a silly rate.. maybe the NSX is the next appreciating Icon!

The original price of the F40 was $500,000
Expect to pay £200,000 for a used one.

Slight depreciation but not much, I have never seen one sell for less than £170,000

My bad - I was under the impression that after the initial depreciation prices for the F40 were actually starting to o up now.. what do I know!

Possibly slightly, after the NSX and Murcielago, th F40 prices are the ones I watch the most.

If you want to talk depreciation, think about a 456!!!

Lovely cars but a pain if it goes wrong.

So then Simon would rather have: a bright orange Murci or an F40?

Who said there had to be a choice :)

If anyone gave me a silly amount of money for my NSX then I would buy another one.

That was what I was thinking - if you could get 32 for yours then hello LBB! you'd have a job finding another IOP. I think you will have to buy the first IOP facelift you see at a sensible price and then seel yours, otherwise your orange cravings may get the better of you and you may have to go and buy a FIesta ST to fill the gap :lol:

I don't like the one that is for sale in Coventry at the moment though, so that would be an end to Orange for now (well apart from Oranchio Metallic or whatever they call it)

However I have found details of 'another' UK Orange NSX :) That's 6 now :)
