    Looks lovely. I spend a lot of time poring over 4 star classics. The adverts are excellent examples of how to sell a car for a premium price in my opinion. I have no issue with dealers making their money by adding value. I think 4star take a minimum 5k commission if SoR.

    Theres also an ad for a facelift targa for 56k. Good to see some cars changing hands as summer approaches.

    I agree, they sure know how to advertise a car with many quality shots & good descriptions.
    Also price wise, they do seem too be on the high side but then if thats their selling technique
    & it works, why change it. They always seem to have quality & variety of stock in.

    The price doesn't seem to be too far off considering Honda Chiswick sold a 2005 car in red with 34000 miles on for around £57000 recently

    from Gordon Murray: The NSX’s development costs must have been enormous. Everything on it is unique. The chassis, powertrain, even the air conditioning are peerless. That aluminum body was very expensive. The numerous hurdles overcome by the NSX to reach production in areas such as spot welding, corrosion, and repairability make it a monumental work in automotive history.

    Agree that it is a very nicely presented and well written advert.

    I went to 4 Star Classics a few months ago when I was looking for an old Merc SL (R107)... for the wife of course. They had 5 in stock so could good look at a few for comparison. They're nice chaps and were very helpful. The vast majority of stock is on S.O.R.

    The were about to move premises back then and should have done so by now. The old facility was a couple of farm buildings with an office and the photo studio built in one of them. They dress the cars very well, take some great pics and write an excellent description. The cars then sit under covers in the storage building. I'm not sure this justifies the strong pricing for people who know what to look for in a car but for more casual car enthusiast they lay it on a plate for them.

    I didn't buy a Merc from them but did pick one up later (pic below) with the knowledge learned
