I would be interested in purchasing a book specifically on the NSX, these 2 have caught my eye, anyone own these or read them?? If so which is best or are they both worth getting.

Both books are a good read.....

The first one is more on the design, specifications and development of the car with lots of nice colour pictures!
The second is an updated version of the original portfolio publication which is mostly reprints of magazine articles/driving impressions etc with the facelift cars included as well....

NSX-Fan Hi Mark. I have both these books and they are well worth buying, I brought mind in 2010 from Silverstone Classic Car show. I totally agree with Hagasan & Noel below. I know you live very close to me...I have no problem with you having a look at mind before you buy if you like. Let me know ....I am in Nantwich two or three times a week. Kingsley

Ok, that would be great, would you be up for a photoshoot of your NSX? free of charge of course :) i do a bit of photography in my spare time, currently a photographer for Supercar Driver club. Could have a look at the books then. Let me know your thoughts. PM me if you like?

Yes i would wait a little while for the weather to clear up. Regarding the shoot, i think Cholmondeley Castle is a nice location.

You could just bring the books to the shoot if you like, i am in no rush to buy them i just wanted to gather some opinions on them as to whether they are worth purchasing or not, i will leave it with you. I live just outside of Nantwich, around 15 minutes from Betley and 10 from Crewe.

As has been said, they are both good books but the 2nd one is the one to get as it contains the Top Gear buyers guide featuring Y1 (my car) ;)
