Hi Phill

I had my car done at KDS and very happy, but note they only do detailing and not resprays.

Just google or yell KDS Gillingham for the address or look up Lepson's Gillingham as they are next door. Both are a miute drive from Gillingham Station, or 5 minutes from the Medway Tunnel.

Paul

Thanks Paul

will give them a call.

Here you go Phil. It would be worth taking the car to Kelly and talking to him about full paint correction. From work that I've seen it may well save you the full respray whilst returning the results you seek. Be sure to call before 2pm if phoning as he rarely answers the phone after this time due to amount of work he and the team have in the workshop.

regards, Paul

Thanks for that Paul.

Red/black pre-facelift on an Italian plate with CF "Type R" spoiler and black a-market rims. Was in the Pistenklause car-park on Thursday night.

I seem to recall it made an appearance at Gaydon a couple of years ago too, just after changing ownership. Not seen much of it so good to hear it appears to be in good health still.

Hi Guys,

I think you guys are correct......I remember the year before last it was at Gaydon...because it was the first time I had seen kaiser silver. It looked good for the brief moment i saw it!! :)

I am gonna dig out my old photos now and see if i can find the car at the show.....

[QuietJim]

Silver facelift spotted just before noon today on Hawley Lane heading north towards the A30, just outside Blackwater (Surrey/Hants border). Thought it was a 993 as it approached (bizarrely ... must be my failing eyesight) so I only had time to stick my thumb out the window ... so if you wondered why some twerp in a white Evo was giving you a thumbs-up, it was me :)

[andy300]

Yes that was me, sorry didn't have time to wave back. Just took it out for my first drive in it yesterday, drives absolutely fantastic

Yes that was me; just been to the shops and was on my way home. I saw you coming and was thinking "is that an NSX, i think it is, yes it really is an NSX", by which time you had passed :laugh:

Cheers, Rich.

[lotusolly]

You must have P1? I was just coming out of Sainsbury's as you went buy. I didn't try and get your attention as I was in my works van. Whats the odds on 3 club members being at roughly the same place at the same time by pure coincidence!!!

Red facelift on the A303 near Micheldever on Friday at around 5pm........... Ewan maybe?

Yes-P1 is indi pearl and yes again the chance of 3 members, on the same day and no more than a mile apart must be lottery jackpot chance.
Great morning for a run.

Hi, sorepaws.

It was easy to recognise you through your Reg. no..

Saw lots of nice cars around the area so probably there was some sort of event on that day.

Nice seeing your beautiful shiny NSX.

Spotted Yellow NSX on A12 a few times in the past month P60NSX i think - very close Reg and same colour as mine !

[NSX100]

On L'Etoile yesterday, Sunday around 17h00 coming on from Victor Hugo or Kléber a silver NSX with French plates just ahead of me. Because of the bedlam of L'Etoile and the need to concentrate on avoiding being hit, I lost sight of it. I was coming on from La Grande Armée and going off at Wagram and did not see it again. First NSX I have seen in France.

[Carl-1969]

NSX just like buses - you don't see any for ages and then 2 turn up at once. :laugh:
4pm today on the A13 Leigh-on-Sea/Hadleigh and then heading down Bread and Cheese hill. Modified red C8 NSX.

4.20pm a Yellow pop-up on Fambridge Road/Latchingdon/Cold Norton roundabouts heading toward Fambridge from Maldon area. C11 XGX I think!!

Spotted in Reading yesterday, Charlotte Green popup but your front plate appears to have dropped off so I couldn't see which it was, until I recognised the driver. Hi Martin! :thumbsup:

Funnily enough, I had a group of 4 lads in a Focus drive past me at the lights only a couple of minutes before, all doing a practically-hanging-out-window doubletake. If they'd seen 2x NSXs at the next set of lights, who knows what would have happened...

[kingsley]

Spotted on the A539 Penley to Whitchurch Shrophire. I was going towards Llangollen in my Silver NSX C5 TOY and coming the other way another Silver NSX. I am normally with my friend who has a Blue NXS ....Could have been 3 together. We live in Cheshire, not sure where the other car is from. All to quick to see reg.

Spotted H16 NSX, looking very tidy and original, on the A4 just at M4 J12 this morning. I didn't bother waving as I was in the Accord ;-)

[Jammy]

Hi Ewan, thanks you spotted me!

Only had the car a few weeks but have and will continue to take it from Theale (M4 J12) across to J13, and a little bit up the A34, on most working days. Despite the fact I'll be averaging 40 miles per day I am very keen to keep the car looking its best at all times.

Are you based locally?

Hi chaps, had to register to post a spotted and a massive :thumbsup: to the Red NSX - Plate N5 NSX - that I saw heading out of Stevenage old town at the weekend.
It looked stunning.

Hello All,

I am so frustrated. I drive all the way to Roehampton from the North West, round the inner ring road of London and out to Gravesend on Sunday. Then on Monday, all the way back along the inner ring road to Tooting and then back out, up the M40 and M6 and no one spots me - LOL. Maybe I'd better post a flight plan next trip out.:D Regards Rod

[Problem Child]

I'll be doing my first run in mine along A5 from Oswestry onto M54 onto M6 south, M42 then M40 taking my new toy home on Friday afternoon...Watch out for me. I'll be the one in the all red NSX with a HUGE beaming smile!

[havoc]

What time Friday afternoon?

Shout if you want to know the traffic hot-spots around and south of B'ham...

[Problem Child]

Thanks, hope to be leaving Oswestry about 2:30pm. Anybody see me- wave! LOL

KNow the road well enough, and wont be in a rush anyway!

[Problem Child]

Saw it from behind so dont know and by the time I had turned back it was gone.

Good thing was though that when I went into Honda Aylesbury myself I discovered they have an NSX technician who looked over my car and reckons its in pretty good order. Still doing the cam belt, water pump etc

Red pop-up in Essex this morning. Seen the NSX on the plate but missed the prefix. :rolleyes:

Spotted driving along the A1060 at Leaden Roding heading Chelmsford bound.

[Jammy]

Since I bought mine last September I haven't seen a single other NSX on the road with the exception of when I joined a few fellow Berkshire / Oxfordshire members for a pub catch up late last year. That was the case anyway until...

Last week when I happened to vacate my fairly populated area of residence and head to the Brecon Beacons for a week of piece, quiet and limited interaction with the outside world. Whilst traveling between Pencelli and Crickhowell on a single track road, low and behold we came across a beautiful Midnight Purple pop up parked up in a lay-by next to a babbling brook, R3 NSX. Stopped to take a quick snap but no sign of the owner. A shame but probably for the best as I suspect that had they have actually been around they would not have believed it when a 25 year old (i.e. me) leant out of the window of the 1976 baby blue VW camper that we were in and said "hey mate, I've got one of those too!".

First time my girlfriend has seen midnight purple and she commented on its beauty, although did follow this up nicely (perhaps just to protect my ego) by saying that whilst it was lovely it wasn't quite as beautiful as red. On reflection she also said the purple gave the car more of a 'ganagster' feel. On that contraversial note I shall stop. :)

Cheers,
James

Yep that was me. Were you in your NSX? I didn't see you if you were. And it seems I missed all the serious metal... in amongst the hoards of kit cars going to Stoneleigh.

Mani.

[havoc]

Nah, in the wife's red GTi (and partly hidden by an arctic in the o/s lane) - on the way to Cinema and B&Q, which the NSX is rather unsuitable for. Saw you re-joining the A46, hit the horn a few times but at a closing speed of 100-ish it was a little optimistic. LBB is still the best colour for an NSX!

Atom was near Cov and heading further north, an AM V8 was only about 5 miles behind you heading south though. Saw yet more kit cars (plus an old 911 and what was probably a Chesil not a real Speedster) on the way back.

Sebring Silver pop up NSX spotted in South of France ...Cannes sea front last week . So suprised to see it did not catch the registration number ...it looked as if it was an english plate. So different to see from the numerous Ferrari's. Bentley's, Lamborghini's, Porsche's, Masserati's which seem to be drive past constantly. Other exotic cars on the roads were a couple of Fiskers, Pagani Zonda, Bugatti Veyron. Oh almost forgot....no sure if this counts...John Cleese on holiday with his new wife.....and black Bentley with reg.......BAS1L

[Mugenman]

Could have been mine - I live just behind the Martinez and haven't seen any other NSX's in the area. It is a facelift though...not a pop up.

Silver coupe - popup model - in Chipping Norton today, around 4pm. Looked good. Looked bloody great actually.

Looked like a Black NA1,Croydon flyover this morning, traffic was crazy.....I was a few cars behind, not in the NSX though :-(

Silver RA55 spotted in Leamington Spa railway station around 6:30pm yesterday. It's crazy, I was going to get the LBB out of the garage and drop my niece off to the railway station in that, but decided on the daily driver instead. Otherwise there would have been two facelifts parked in the same small car park at exactly the same time. Small world.

not XCX perchance?

I'd like to know what became of the one that got away...

Further to my post the other week, it's likely to have been the model that NSX-FAN posted, which I'd spotted. Very clean motor indeedy :)

[manisandher]

No, definitely RA55... I was right behind it! Can't remember if it was XCX though - wasn't paying enough attention.

Unless of course 'PW52 NSX' was a private plate and the owner reverted back to 'RA55...'. (Doubt it very much.)

Chasing Classic Cars Tuesday evening on Sky TV. Wayne Corini was offered the chance to buy an old racing Lotus elite that an old lady had tucked away in a garage. When he was finally allowed to see the car he was told she had just agreed to sell it to somone else so he lost out however just behind him in the garage was a black Acura NSX which looked like it was in regular use, clearly a family with taste and a view to a cars future value.
Wayne then went on to buy a 250 Lusso Ferrari that had been in the same ownership for almost 50 years so it wasn't too bad a days work. More barn finds in the US lucky b***ers.

I've just got into watching these and they are good viewing ... I wouldn't mind being a few $$ behind his friend Mark the collector!

I liked the other week when he got the call to look at a red sports car ... turned out to be 29k mile Dino ... as you say, they have a lot of barns in the US of A

[scottg]

I saw that one as well and if I remember correctly he paid about $50,000 for it. Can you image finding a rust free Dino for £35000, if only.

Did he pay the older man 50k for it? You might aswell call it stealing.... I don't think he is a real car lover and his way of restoring cars is an absolute failure. Just in it for the money.

[scottg]

Yes 50,000 dollars daylight robbery. I recall seeing him using aerosol cans to tart up brake drums on a car going to auction, not a good example of their standards.
I have seen a Daytona he restored and that was superb so I suppose it's a commercial decision.

Red NSX spotted driving up Avenue Road in Bournemouth this morning, missed the plate as I just caught sight of it as I looked up from my PC and it drove around the corner. I think it may be the same car I saw in Lilliput a few weeks ago. If it was you let me know if you are local.

[simonprelude]

I'm in Bournemouth these days so if you see an orange S2000 with a cheeky number plate then give me a wave. Seen a couple of NSX's down here, mine never made it down.

Will do Simon, my car gets used at weekends mainly and I live in Penn Hill so bound to see you around at some point.

[Ewan]

Saw the back of J16 NSX drive through Eversley Cross today (there was a Lotus meet at a pub there - maybe you might have spotted all the plastic cars parked outside :)) and probably again, about 45 mins later going North away from Eversley (just caught a distant glimpse of the rear).

[WhyOne?]

Spotted on Saturday driving out of Portslade towards teh A27, a red pre-facelift NSX with reg. NSX 100

[NSX100]

Curious. I have no idea where that is but it appears to be Brighton area. Except I was nowhere near there on Saturday. I was on the road on Saturday morning en route from London to the car's winter garage near Aberdeen. I started before dawn from Wimbledon and headed out the M4 to the M40 and on northward. I drove over from the car's summer garage in Paris on Friday. Despite being motorway almost all the way it was a great drive and with 1 stop I did the 540 miles in 8 hours. There was the occasional maniac who wants to race and annoyingly either will not let you overtake or if you do, insist on blasting past you and slowing down again. But when you drive an NSX you have nothing to prove to these boy racers in their salesmen cars. Ignore them and they quickly revert to being bored in their boring cars.

[WhyOne?]

Most odd!

Maybe the reg was 100 NSX?

[Sudesh]

100NSX is on a 1991 car.

[WhyOne?]

Possibly the one I saw than. Any indication of the colour?

[Sudesh]

Yeah, Red! Manual car, registered 26-April-1991, 5 owners.

[WhyOne?]

Well, that sounds like the car!

If you are on a rope, slowing down prevents a collision with the RAC van.

Yes Paul, this was one of the "last 12" . Exterior and interior in "S2000" spec, slightly darker than my standard silver (in the front of shot). And yes it did look very smart.

As far as I recall the owner of the other NSX was from Warwick, where this shot was taken. Didn't sound like he had heard of this forum though, for potential bidders :)
