[NSX 2000]

I was watching Car SOS last night, it was about a Subaru Impreza, and for some bizzare reason they decided to hold a Japanese car meet, and for a split second, an NSX appeared, blinked and you missed it, I did catch the Number plate as it was an easy one to remember.

So Yellow NSX reg P1 NSX spooted on my TV last night:D:rolleyes:;)

[Taxi5]

Bui 403 red with a black hood NA1 in Crowborough East Sussex. I could have a very close neighbor?

[Nick Graves]

N11 NSX at NWHL.

Met the chap at Tewin last year, too.

Hopefully, he'll pop in to say 'Hi'.

[havoc]

There's an older chap with a red facelift that I occasionally see around Stratford...caught up with him last Wednesday whilst in mine, which was nice. The one occasion I've spoken to him he seemed quite shy and retiring, so almost certainly not on here...

[Ozmondo]

A white one with wide arch kit in Crewkerne today. In the rain!!! ;-)


Haha only just saw this... yeah it’s quite good in the rain to be fair.

[Ozmondo]

just like this one?????

Steve’s but I’m not sure he is on the forum! He’s got a lovely collection

[Ozmondo]

Spotted an unusual one on the M40 yesterday, southbound just out of the A43 at a guess.

Pop-up car with what looked like a satin-gold wrap (certainly wasn't NIOP) with black R-GT style extended side-vents.

Anyone on here recognise the description?


Ben Parker’s which is now satin black wrap and no more gold plated mugen wheels..again don’t think he’s on here

M111NSX heading southbound on the M40...presumably for Silverstone.

^ That one has the original John Cooper Honda garage number plate and window sticker - looks in great condition - owned by the garage / family?

[jonathanolney]

Thanks for the compliment & sharp eyed observation Nick.

John Cooper Garages were my local NSX dealers & when I drove their demonstrator I was introduced to him.

I have owned this car for 19 years & driven it over 100,000 miles. I have not wanted to alter the standard spec but finally did upgrade the ABS & nothing else. Sometimes I think of selling but have always stopped because I cannot think of anything that would be nicer!

Today saw a red NA2 Reg HIONHP at 9.30am on A12 driving south around Kelvedon

As NSXGB confirmed it was a facelift model. The paintwork didn't look as vibrant as my NSX so I'm not sure if they had a different shade in later production or it was just dirty.

[britlude]

I'm sorry, I thought you said 'dirty' for a minute.....

On this basis, could it have been Monza Red ... depending on weather conditions this can look anything from dull through to an amazing pearl red ... would be my guess ....

[Senninha]

Well done detective ... now can you establish if this was the car that the chap from Chiswick bought to Japfest around 2010? I’m guessing it is likely given its location now and that I’m not aware of another one :)

[L696ULO]

All I can add is the driver had grey hair and a beard and was being driven sedately along the A12. About 6 years ago I recall someone telling me they had seen the same car around Colchester. So it's been in the area for a while.

[Pride]

I had a very interesting spot this morning at about 11am just after junction 11 anti clockwise on the hard shoulder of the M25

Inside a Mansfield vehicle delivery/transportation lorry was a silver NC1

The truck had lost one its rear wheels due to wheel nuts not being torqued up correctly and they were waiting for a heavy commercial tow truck to take them away due to damaged wheel studs.

As for the NSX, well it was going in for a fuel line recall, at least that's what I was told by the transportation guys.

I suppose the recall must make the car too dangerous to drive although I haven't heard of this on any NSX news channels.

13629

[NZNick]

It was probably being taken from a local dealer to one of the main London dealers to have the recall work done - I remember reading that vehicle collection was offered to original owners in the UK.

[NSXGB]

White NC1 spotted this am on the Limpsfield Road near Warlingham. LO17VCF (I think). Nice to see one in the wild.

Coming home from Bluewater Sunday afternoon, I followed a bewinged S2000 and a red widebody NSX.... Very nice to see another NSX for a change!!! We cruised coastbound until I turned off for home, I in lane 1, widebody in lane 3.. but not before we were all passed in lane 4 by a 100e ford, MK1 fiesta and a MK1 escort!!! Oh how we laughed! Lots of retro appreciation going on!!!

Maybe a fan of the Who. :)

Or is it Jodie Whittaker's daily driver ;)
or perhaps Peter Davison's ?? ��

Presumably a rare model with the 'time travel pack'?

Forgot to post this from a few weeks back! I was in my Performante when I spotted N5 XMY on the A20 had a quick chat. Mark N I believe? It sounded great; what exhaust do you Mark?

[Mark N]

Hi Rob
Yes you are correct it was me and the exhaust system I’m running is a DC Sport system.
The noise from your Huracán when you dropped it down a couple of gears and took off was awesome even the misses said that sound nice and she is not a car enthusiast.:)

Hi Paul,

It was in the roadworks and raining so didn't get a chance to have a close look unfortunately.

[simonprelude]

Having not seen an NSX out and about for a few years I thought I'd log on and see if any of the olds are still around.

Anyway, good to see a few still around and hope to see more on the road rather than the couple at Honda in Poole.

[britlude]

Still around, still daily, still not being spotted!!!!

Spotted, very early this morning, only a brief glimpse but it looked like a white JDM pop up near Snow Hill, Crawley.

[RedCarsGoFaster]

Entirely independently, both havoc and I showed up to Caffeine & Machine for lunch on the last day before the second lockdown kicked in. Good company, good food, and of course, good cars - it's a rare thing to find two NSX in one place!

[Senninha]

Tuesday 24th Aug - Imola

Spotted northbound M3 between Hook and Farnborough around 10am … looked great in the sunshine, however, as you were in the outside lane, and I was near side southbound, I couldn’t catch the plate … wondered if it might be MArk in the TypeS?

Good to see others out in the wild ..

I was shocked to see C12NSX a silver NA1 in Guildford today. Sounded nice, I was too slow to spot if it was an OEM exhaust or not. Can't think why I haven't seen it before (I've got NSX 5 a red/ black NA1). Any more around Guildford? (There used to be one in one of the nearby villages I think)

Scan from Practical Classics magazine, February 2022, a readers photo of an NSX resting in Cambridge.

It's been there for 10+ years. If I remember right, there's a sign on it saying "No, it's not for sale!"

[rkanaga]

I took my NSX to Brands Hatch for the first trackday of the year, happy now that it has full PPF on the front (too cold for the BAC Mono)

It coped brilliantly and drove home afterwards without a hitch.

It’s more than 30 years old, the mind boggles at trying that with an old Ferrari or something.

(Regular servicing from Plans also probably helps a bit)

It looks lovely and clean from that angle!! Over 2 hours of grime down the sides and rear!! As always, the NSX grabs attention and we spent 10 minutes chatting to some very nice people whilst getting ready for the days events …

[WhyOne?]

Hi Paul. S2 and Y1 were only about 12 cars apart - we must have arrived within no more than 10 minutes of each other!

I enjoyed the day immensely and the 962's and that sunset were the icing on the cake.

Had a chat with Bruno - he is a thoroughly pleasant chap!

Pleased to hear that the cover is still providing good service.

[WhyOne?]

As an aside, I was pleased and surprised in equal measure how many people said they'd take 'the NSX' home in the little Pistonheads/Instagram straw pole.

Spotted this in a rest area on the E17 south of Gent, Belgium at the weekend. Unfortunately I was in a rental car but when I approached the driver and showed him a photo of my NSX he was immediately keen to chat. His is a heavily modified 1996 car with a supercharger and lots of body mods including skirts, revised front and rear, wheels etc etc imported from Japan. He showed me the engine back and front and almost unrecognisable from mine. Lovely clear cover over the rear part. He claimed he has made 290km/h on the autobahn in Germany. I watched him leave and even a small speed bump took a lot of manoeuvering to get over because of the narrow profile tyres and skirts. Virtually no ground clearance. And not quiet. Curiously, the first NSX of any kind I have seen in a very long time.

[exiges1]

Today at 09:40 on the A394 (Penzance to Helston) Sebring Targa ���NSX. No chance to wave as it’s silver and therefore sooooo fast!!

Spotted a red NA1 NSX on the way to NEC weds 10th Nov about 9.40am.... From the roundabout at the end of the M45 up the A45 (London Road, Rugby according to my sat nav) turning off left just after the petrol station before I could catch you in the 60 limit, I was 4 cars behind you, stuck behind a peugeot!! 4 brake lights means it could be JDM...! Anyhoo, you were officially spotted out in the wild and looked very pretty!!!

Doubt it was anyone here, but I spotted a silver-on-silver targa NSX in Sofia, Bulgaria a couple of days ago. Quite a surprise that the first one I have seen on the road in years was there.

It was heading to Vitosha suburbs, where it seems a lot of rare cars live.

(How the suspension keeps up with the appalling state of Bulgarian roads, I don't know.)

That was me Mike (1st time spotted in 10 years of ownership) Only been to a few shows since moving to Cornwall. The car got a lot of attention on the day and it was fun driving in the parade around the town centre. I didn’t go through the tunnel at the end of the parade but hopefully they will offer it again next year. Spoke to a lovely couple that have owned their manual purple 95 targa since new.

spotted a very nice blue (didn't look a stock colour) NSX heading north on the A5 about 11.30 today (August bank holiday Monday!) i would put a pic up but my dash cam, just to be annoying, decided it didn't want to record the single minute you passed me... the minute either side, yes, the actual relevant minute, no.... grrrrrrr

They also have a Datsun GTR and Bentley of some sort parked up there.
