i see silverstone auctions have now revised their listing for the IOP car
I reckon there has been a few calls with regards to hpi checks being done!
it has been declared on sheet now as Cat D and the price has been reduced ...
Be interesting to see if it reaches anywhere near that price considering history ...

Auction description now revised; mentions the Cat D thing, with a lower estimate.
Sorry but N5NSX is my newly imported 1996 NSX-R not the blue pre facelift NA2 car at Silverstone Auction- please clarify your point.

Watched the auction today.
The bids reached £30k so the car was unsold during the auction but may sell outside the auction process, the low estimate was £30k.

Stripped down for parts what's it worth
Interesting thought...NA2 long block, gearbox etc. have got to be worth >>25% of the low estimate on their own. Body panels (if all new/straight) and glass would make up another 25% or more. Lights, minor motors, driveshafts, seats, cockpit interior etc. would a fair chunk more. Doubt it'd quite reach £30k though - 10 years ago a Cat-D NA1 was probably worth more in parts, not sure an NA2 ever has been.

Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof

The problem with parting one out is that you have to take a very long view. Just too few around to generate a lot of demand for the parts. It'd take a very long time, a lot of space and a lot of grief to get the £30,000 back.
I thought about buying the Cat D red facelift (ERZ7272?) from a few years ago when it was about £22000. But decided not to for those reasons.
On Ebay now and the damage is described as:
"NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER of the damage, which was entirely cosmetic. "
As P.T/ barnum used to say...
