    Default UK based NSX

    How many working NSXs are there in the UK? I would love to track them down, photograph them and do a blog on each with a history and owners stories. Is there a data base. Has this been done before?

    Well, good luck with that. How many years do you have?

    The last time I checked the DVLA dataset there were 321 successful MOT passes for the NSX and 68 failures giving a total of 389. Allowing for exports and the odd write-off since then there are probably around 350 or so in the UK. There is a members' database on here which I have not seen for some time and that had 193 at the last showing. So, at the very least, there is a significant number of NSXs out there that are unknown to this forum. It would be good to have the forum database updated though.

    The black and white photo is my NSX (red/black) when it had its original alloys on.

    I think a video blog for YouTube, UK owners cars. Maybe a charity Callander with 12 of us naked behind the wheel of our NSXs

    Yes from a male POV I think warmer weather is preferable.

    In all seriousness. How about all those who want to be featured appearing with their cars in a hard copy book, coffee table size, colour and B&W plates. I have someone who can produce the book if agreeable. I know of a number of photographers who would be happy to shoot with those willing participants within their regions. This should ensure that the hard work of travel will be a little easier. Styles would vary which might make it more interesting. Each owner would have the final say on the picture/s and text.
    Any thoughts
