I can't imagine the next owner of that car will be putting any miles on it at all :(
Torque GT have another for sale that has much higher mileage than their last yet is more expensive.
https://www.torque-gt.co.uk/honda-nsx-110522.html
Previously sold at auction for £110k https://www.brightwells.com/timed-sale/5237/lot/553472 Not a bad mark up in 3 months.
I guess there’s a few elements in play; how much the customer needs/wants back, the upward NSX trend and the rarity value of non red/black cars. The yellow car is interesting. Obviously non original. It has 02 wheels etc. I don’t usually love them on pop-ups but I think the owner got it right with the colour. Ans the ride height is good.
Each car has a market. The yellow car is completely revertible if necessary (at a cost) but do purists/investors buy modded cars? Not sure. I guess some do. I would. A good car’s a good car.
IMO the yellow NSX ‘works’ because the mods are subtle and ‘could’ have been factory ordered had Honda chosen to offer the options … it looks like Andrews car although I’m thinking he has blades not 02s …
Key message from James is when you are talking the money some NSX make (or are advertised for) today, it needs to be a good car, with good history in the first place, and if modded sensibly then why not, especially if the OEM parts come with the sale …
Out of the two torque cars. Not physically seen either. But on paper I’d have taken the red one. A third of the mileage for less money. The yellow car however does look stunning and I’m sure it will sell.
The red car in the first post is in a FastR YouTube video
They have got most of the facts straight, just a bit confused on some dates, BHP figures and the use of the word alloy instead of aluminium alloy ...
I see the Brightwell car is back up soon

It was also interesting watching the Collecting car auction of the low mileage 92 car which sold for £76K + tax on the same platform in 2021. It made a lot more this time!
Again, personally I’d have been a little worried about the vin plate and lack of history, but perhaps a bit of research could sort this. I see there is a company that can do a really comprehensive search on JDM history now.
