Full Honda Service History
The legendary Honda NSX (standing for New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990, with major chassis and suspension input from three times F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna.
The NSX featured a state of the art 3. 0-litre V6 ‘VTEC’ engine (variable valve timing) and an all-aluminium monocoque body, encompassing a revolutionary extruded aluminium alloy frame and suspension. This made the car extremely light and extremely strong. Other game-changing features included 4 channel ABS brakes, titanium connecting rods in the engine and later in the model’s life – an electric power steering system as well as an upgrade to a 3. 2-litre V6 engine. The car was the first real Japanese ‘Supercar’, proving itself and quickly establishing respect from its key competitors. Production continued right up until 2005, with only subtle changes made throughout its life.
Finished in Midnight Purple Metallic with contrasting Tan Leather, this well maintained example was supplied new in September 1996. After being used as a dealer demonstrator the NSX was supplied to its first and only UK owner, specified with a Targa roof and automatic gearbox.
In the intervening years the NSX has been serviced regularly by the Honda main dealer in Surrey, with any additional items replaced as required. Notably all work has been carried out with the same Honda engineer who was trained specifically by Honda UK to work on this very car.
The paintwork is in very good order throughout, and the interior presents well with the exception of the driver’s seat which could benefit from a little attention to the side bolster.
Offered with an MoT certificate to April 2022 (with no advisories) and printout from Honda detailing the servicing schedule from new, this is a very original example of what is now regarded as a true modern classic, with good history and a bright future in the market.
The NSX will be supplied with the registration “32 NSX” in recognition of the model name and chassis number 500032.
This car will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 2nd October. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
Estimate: £35, 000 - £45, 000
