Does anyone know anything of this NSX? It's old, but superficially looks to be in good condition.

Also, am I right in thinking it's riding a bit high? That arch gap looks bigger than I'm used to. My imagination, or perhaps a function of the aftermarket wheels?

Sorry I don't know the car, does anyone here? I think it does look like its slightly riding high although having checked mine I think its normal?

Having said that it looks in great condition and the BBS Le-Mans split rims are one of the few after market rims that look good on the NSX.

I think that the silver/black on BBS wheels looks great.
Good price as long as the car is in good condition IMO.

I don't know anything about it, I think someone mentioned going to see it or something like that. A forum search might help there. It looks straight enough and with FHSH should be quite solid.

You mentione a 3.2 last year, if I was looking at an NSX I would buy James 3.2 in a heartbeat. It is a lovely car 3.2 with a fastidious owner that has taken excellent car of it.

The money difference will not buy all the bits to turn a 1991 into a 3.2.

The only NA1 3.2 I'm aware of for sale is a targa on Pistonheads, which is a little more than I'd ideally want to pay, and I don't think it's that one you're referring to anyway?



The money difference will not buy all the bits to turn a 1991 into a 3.2.Absolutely - a decent NA1 3.2 is my ideal. But they're so few and far between, I'm also considering 3.0s.

Tom,

Just a quick clarification:

NA1 is the 3.0s and NA2 is the 3.2 regardless of headlights design.

James car is a late NA2 02 plus headlights.

BTW On the pop ups if anything goes wrong with the lights it can be quite expensive and there is lots of parts to them.

Cheers,

I'm sure the facelift cars have benefits; I just can't get on their their styling. The pop-up headlight model is the real looker, in my opinion, and it's definitely an area where heart needs to rule head, I think!

Nice looking car
I agree that pop ups are the business, after all Honda (and all the others) didnt style them because it was better, it cos the health and safety bods got in on the act and enforced it...

But its all a matter of taste....

Just buy it Tom

That looks like a nice car and quite well priced in my opinion! From a quick check, its a very late 1991 car, first registered on the 6/December/1991 and as mentioned in the add, ony 1 previous owner!

Happy to answer any queries you may have, and yes, price is negotiable!
