    Default 'Acura NSX: Honda's Supercar' by Brian Long

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this, or if it's been posted before, but I've got one of these books - the 208 page hardback version. I was randomly looking at NSX publications on Amazon UK this evening and I saw four of these for £741 to £1000 each - have I got this wrong?!?!?! i.e. WTF?!?!

    If enough out there have one of these, we can club together and buy the real thing..

    Holy crap! That must be an error, if not, my copy is being wrapped up in bubble wrap and stored somewhere dark and safe!
    I even checked the ISBN and yep that's my book.

    Just been checking the net and this price seems correct, but there was a site in the USA still selling them for $79:95

    Often sellers put up outrages prices when they're out of stock to maintain their placement and when back in stock they reduce the price again to its realistic value.

    Very misleading I think particularly as it quotes 1 in stock.

    Ebay do the same, interior light anyone???

    I have one too. It was held by myself and I took it to the toilet to read regaurly. I need £15.000stg for it. I'll sign it and use one page as toilet roll and then laminate it for you myself. I might include a picture of myself on the toilet reading it at extra cost.

    I'd hang onto it (the book) for another year or so. It'll be worth more by then, the way things are going.

    “I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
