Description

UK-supplied and purchased from Maidenhead Honda in March 1992 Four owners and a warranted 39,000 miles from new Presented in Sebring Silver and patently cossetted all its life Full service history, Honda bookpackand an extensive history file Every MOT present since 1995. Will be MOT'd prior to the auctionThe 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 very light and extremely strong. Despite being developed during F1's turbo era, the NSX's 24-valve 3.0-litre V6 engine was normally aspirated. Equipped with the new VTEC variable valve timing system, the all-alloy unit produced 270bhp initially, which was good enough for a top speed of 168mph and a 0-60mph time of less than six seconds. Those performance figures put the NSX on a par with Ferrari's 348 GTB, but in terms of comfort, ergonomics, driving dynamics, and build quality, the NSX was in a different league entirely. Sadly, this superiority was not translated into sales, and by the time production ceased in 2005 fewer than 20,000 NSXs had been sold.This lovely 1992 UK-supplied car is presented in Sebring Silver with a black leather interior has covered a documented 39,000 miles and is currently tucked away in storage where it has been for the last 3 years.Purchased from Maidenhead Honda in March 1992, its first owner kept it for 10 years before selling it in 2002 having covered just 8,000 miles. Coincidentally, the car's second owner also kept it for 10 years before selling it back to the son of the original keeper in 2012. Our vendor, who purchased the NSX in 2015 is, therefore, the 4th owner since new.There is a large amount of detailed history with the car including its service records which indicate that it has regularly been presented to both main Honda agents and independent specialists over the years, although not always annually due to the low mileage. It's supplied with the original bespoke briefcase supplied by the original Honda dealership which is packed full of history, NSX memorabilia, every MOT since 1995, the original Bill of Sale from Maidenhead Honda for 56,380, the PDI document, and the Honda book pack.MOT history (date/mileage) documents included18.03.1995 5,39630.03.1996 7,26008.05.1997 7,45703.08.1998 7,96801.09.1999 8,11102.03.2001 8,18828.02.2002 8,35119.02.2003 14,44923.02.2004 19,37921.02.2005 23,71628.02.2006 26,12427.02.2007 27,97414.02.2008 29,63711.02.2009 31,53925.02.2010 33,20516.02.2011 35,40606.02.2012 36,56123.08.2013 38,29828.01.2015 38,51515.12.2015 38,71420.04.2017 38,933The car will have a fresh MOT prior to the sale.The NSX is a remarkable motor car and, patently cossetted all its life, this is an absolutely lovely example.
