OVERVIEW
• This facelift Honda NSX is one of two we currently have for sale. It is very rare – Honda UK only sold 85 facelift cars – and of these, only 58 where manual coupes; 20 in New Formula Red.
• In 20004 Honda sold the grand total of 17 NSXs – So it’s interesting that we have two of them in the showroom together.
• The car was supplied new by Bristol Honda UK on 15th November 2004 and has had seven keepers – we have known the car virtually from new. It’s actually had four actual owners (three being known collectors). The other three registered keepers were Honda UK, Inchcape Honda, and us.
• The previous owner lives in Slovakia, having bought the car from us in 2018. Since then the car has mostly been in professional storage with us, and has had very light use since then.
• It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre 24-valve V6 with VTEC, delivering a quoted 276bhp to the rear wheels via a slick six-speed manual transmission.
• The odometer shows just 17,340 miles from new, which is supported by a detailed NSXUK / Honda main dealer maintenance history.
• The car has shown the registration RA54 ZVZ from new and unusually has never had a personised plate assigned – so all invoices in the service history show this registration.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES
• This example has the classic combination of New Formula Red over a black leather-trimmed interior.
• It rides on a set of 17-inch seven-spoke forged alloy wheels, housing gold-finished brake callipers and fitted with excellent Pirelli P-Zero tyres.
• There were very few ‘optional extras’ when new – only the addition of a CD Multichanger, that this car has, of course. The standard cruise control, air conditioning, a Bose cassette stereo, electric windows, electrically adjustable door mirrors, ABS, electronic power steering and electrically adjustable seats all work as they should.
• Accompanying the sale are the original owner’s book pack, complete service history, a comprehensive collection of invoices and MOTs, two sets of keys, the valet key and the red Honda master key in its original packaging.
CONDITION
• Like all our NSXs, this car is presented in truly excellent condition. There are no obvious marks, scratches or other imperfections in the paintwork or upholstery. If you are familiar with NSXs, you will know it’s difficult to believe this is a 20 year old car!
• The most recent MOT test was conducted on 30th May 2023 at 17,355 miles, resulting in a clean first-time pass. This has expired as the car has been in storage.
SERVICE HISTORY
• NSXUK will be supply the car with a fresh 12-month MOT and annual service. We warrant that there are no faults with the car that would result in an MOT advisory.
• The car was last serviced in May 2023 at 17,355 miles by us, which included renewing the engine oil, oil filter and brake fluid.
• Timing Belt changes were carried out by us in March 2019 at 17,129 miles, and previouslyby Norton Way Honda in February 2011 at 8,323 miles. This major service includes changing the timing belt, auxiliary drive belts, spark plugs, air and fuel filters, brake fluid change, gearbox oil, engine oil and oil filter. This major service is not due again until 2026.

SUMMARY
This Honda NSX is a particularly desirable iteration of the marque’s groundbreaking all-aluminium sports car, specified in a classic colour combination and representing an excellent opportunity to acquire a fault-free, excellently-maintained car. Don’t buy a Ferrari - or, if you already own one – consider buying this: “The thinking man’s Ferrari”.
A sports car you can use every day. That was Honda's advertising strap line back in 1990, and it's still true today.
Thirty four years later, the NSX still sets standards of performance, luxury, technology that are hard to match.
This car, a 3.0litre Auto, is an appreciating classic that can be driven everyday, without the problems associated with many classic sports cars. Equally capable of being driven from home to the shops on a Sunday morning, or a blast down to the South of France.
We have known this car for over twenty years. It was first registered in Guernsey on 1st Mach 1991, and came to the UK on 4th February 1997. During it's life it has always been serviced by the local Honda main dealer, or by us.
The previous owner had the car for 20 years. He lived in the UK in the summer, and in the Southern Hemisphere in our winter. So this car was driven in the summer months in the UK. He passed away a few years ago. We had it in storage for four years before selling it to the current owner a year ago.
Hence it has been perfectly maintained (it had a cam-belt service a year ago at 65,302 miles); lovingly looked after; and lightly used.
Possibly one of the best classic auto NSX’s available in the UK
