Baby NSX (no really!)

[mersontheperson]

I havent yet been able to justify to the wife a purchase of an NSX, so have bought this as my station run-around.
I have read in many places that it shares similar style cues, and that its ethos of light weight and great handling is very much of the same ilk.

What do you think to her? 54,000 miles, good history and original in every way.


What do you think?

From the hubcaps thats the original 4WS model, great car and I had several of these back in the day.

Always had a soft spot for the Prelude, especially the previous model 20i-16, and keep dropping into conversation that I might get one as a town runabout, but I'm not allowed too

Keep it stock, give it regular servicing and when you sell up to the NSX please let me know ...

Welcome to NSXCB

Nice car....bring it to Nurburgring? LOL...means I have a chance of not being the slowest!

Wonderful cars had mine prior to getting the nsx and that's the only reason I sold her still wish I'd kept it looked lovely in White

So you are starting a wedding car business, Hondaboy!

Mk2 I think, possibly early Mk3. Nice cars and as Paul says the 4WS model handled very nicely indeed. Would've loved one when I was younger, but the insurance for a 22y.o. was horrific!

Spot on Senninha, it's a 2.0 EXI 4WS, and I think I will keep it standard. In fact I think I am the only person left on the planet that likes standard size wheels and plenty of rubber filling the arches.

Wonderboy, there is what looks like a pretty decent specimen on eBay in White for £695, and it is in Durham so not that far from you. Buy it and we will start a new trend.

Only had the car a week, but it is so responsive and engaging. Even the auto box is immediate and enjoyable. There a few blemishes which I am sorting out, but the midnight blue paintwork is really quite smart.

Thanx, from memory that paint is quite soft so be careful when you start polishing ... but it does look stunning once buffed up!

Your auto comment made me LOL as I recall a young lady who came into buy a 2.0 EX auto commenting about 'other' potential uses for the new auto gearshift!!

regards, Paul

BTW ... the ebay car is an EX thats been colour coded on the bumpers so add is mis-leading. Theres a rare SE model too but its manual.

My mum had one of those brand new ack on 88/89! Lovely motor, wouldnt mind one of those myself, had a motion for the prelude model after this one but couldn't find a good one with the factory Honda kit.
