1991 Honda NSX

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.

Offered here is a right-hand drive NSX supplied new to Japan, from where it has recently arrived. This particular model houses the 270 bhp, 3.0-litre V6 engine mated to a 4-speed 'Sport Shift' automatic transmission. Contained within the history file is the 'Shaken' documentation, which is the Japanese equivalent of an MoT, and this has been translated into English. The car is finished in Red and features the usual Black roof, as did many of the early NSXs. The cabin is upholstered in black leather, which remains in superb order throughout as does all the switchgear. The engine bay is neatly presented as you would expect on a car of this mileage and the car rides on white 'OZ' alloy wheels.

A basic service of this car was carried out upon its arrival in the UK, taxes have been paid and an MoT & UK V5c have been granted. With the odometer now reading an unwarranted but believed to be correct, 52,448km or 32,281 miles, this lovely NSX is the perfect opportunity to own a legendary Japanese supercar at an attractive estimate.
