SUMMARY

Possibly the definitive 1990s supercar from Honda, with low ownership and resplendent in a rare colour at a very attractive guide.

DESCRIPTION

  • The legendary Honda NSX was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and 1990, with major chassis and suspension input from three-time F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna and was everything that a sports car should be - dynamic, rewarding and stimulating
  • It featured an all-aluminium monocoque body encompassing a revolutionary extruded aluminium alloy frame and suspension making the car extremely light and very strong
  • Power was provided by a state-of-the-art, normally aspirated, 3-litre, 24-valve, V6 'VTEC' engine producing 270bhp and offering 0-60 in 5.9 seconds and 168mph
  • This superb first generation Targa is finished in Midnight Pearl Clearcoat (PB-73P) - sometimes known as Deep Purple Pearl Metallic (same code) - over a classic NSX interior in tan leather. This particular hue was only available in 1995/96
  • Initially a dealer demonstrator, then owned by its second keeper for over 25 years and has been cosseted by our vendor these last few years
  • Its Cherished Registration Number, 32 NSX, reflects the chassis number #0032 and will remain with the car
  • A comprehensive history file accompanies the car and a fresh MOT was issued in April (no advisories)
  • With many others now changing hands at around £100,000 and the current surge of interest in Japanese performance cars, this is a superb opportunity to acquire a true modern classic at a very sensible guide
