This car is "Distance: 79 miles from sw1a 1aa" now isn't this the post code for Buckingham Palace.
OH MY GOD the Queen wants an NSX!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I know this car and its just a regular 3.2l '98 whith the new head lights.


The owner thinks it's a type R because it has a 3.2l engine and 6 speed gearbox, which is standard on 96- i believe?

Owning such a special car you would be expected to know at least that much about its history and different models. Laughable.

So, it's real value is about £20k. :eek:

So the owner thinks its a Type R, but its just a standard 98 3.2! Better snap my fingers & wake him up from his dream then ! :doh::cantlook::thumbsdown::laugh:

Somebody needs to slap the owner with a very large rubber personal massager on the side of the head!

SW1A 1AA is the postcode I always use when posting autotrader links, however it is 79 miles from my house not the Queen's, didn't change that bit in the url.

Well............

No type R in 1998
No pop up headlights in 1998
No LHD type R
380 bhp
3 in UK (well yes 3 NSX-R in the UK both before and after this car came over :D )
Full Black leather (on a type R ??)
Cruise and power steering (I guess both might have been options ??)

Halesowen - West Mids, if you want to go down there and NSX bash him let me know - it is about 15 miles from me if I remember correctly!

my bro was telling me yesterday about a twin turbo NSX on autotrader in yellow. I guess this is it and would explainthe 360bhp (only 80 bhp from 2 turbos!?)

IF he has stuck 2 turbos on a 3.2 engine then maybe that is why he is selling it:laugh:

This is starting to saound like the movie SAW.

To be read in the voice from SAW:

Hello, NSX Seller. You have a perfectly markeable NSX yet you chose to falsely advertised it as an NSX-R. Did you do it because you truly wanted to shaft a new NSX owner or did you just want some attention? Tonight, you'll show me. The irony is that if you want to keep your car you just have to keep the lie, but if you want to sell it, you'll have to post it again.
Find the path to the laptop but hurry. At 3:00 that NSX ad expires and becomes yours. How much crap will you post to sell the car?

I wonder if the guy who sold it has anything to do with the guy who took five grand from Vance from Prime for the NSX-R seats that never showed up?

That was Sweden wasn't it ;)

I thought it was, Daemon - did he (Vance) ever get that sorted in the end over on Prime?

I tell you what those threads from Vance to SOS are pretty rough on there at the moment aren't they?!

Who's up for the Halesowen meet then? :laugh:

Can you imagine the look on his face is about 20 NSX turned up at hid door to see this fabled LHD NSX-R!!!!

Priceless

I think the price should be higher.

After all a LHD NSX-R would be the only one in the world, not one of three in the UK.

...and like i said, this so called NSX-R is ALSO from Sweden.

This very car was first discussed on the swedish Honda club message board years ago. Even then the owner said it was an NSX-R. There's just no helping some people...

Owner in Sweden was/is not Deamon btw, and i have no idea how the car ended up in Britain.

Has anyone phoned up for details of this car, I wonder where they get the NSX-R idea from.

Just as I was going to ring, the advert has been removed from Autotrader and I didn't include the phone number in my post :(

It was going to go something along can they describe the RHD to LHD conversion, when they say it's not had one then reveal the fact that Honda made no LHD NSX type R's :)

mutley
30-08-2007, 10:36 AM
Hmmm I wonder if it sold, I doubt it !!
