An investment

[Senninha]

What would one say the value of an extermely clean 85k 1992 UK manual red/black NA-1 with full Honda history would fetch? See so many models priced all over the place hard to get a true value.

Do you know the car? Do you know the owner? Is it clean coz someone paid for a good detailing or has been a genuine garage queen ... Mileage seems high for the latter (but not high for our NSX) .... What will you get that you done already have apart from different numbers on the dash?

just food for thought, rgds Paul

Just wondering not selling, but yer past owner had it for 16years friend of a friend, owner before that was a lady in london. Everything always done on it. Only done 500 miles a year in the past 16 years all the earlier miles were done by the lady owner. Its very clean like suprisingly clean no marks/dents and underside is still red and aluminium silver. So been well cared for just see so many ones for sale and prices are just all over the place hard to see where you stand.

I was thinking around 38-40k mark

My pet theory is that in 10 / 20 years the early NA1 non-power steering manual will be the most sought after by collectors. Not now but in time. It's the original car, the lightest, the rawest, most simple concept. The E-type is a case in point (and this might not be the best analogy but whatever) - the early flat floor 3.8 was raw, seats not particularly comfortable, gearbox and brakes poor. The 4.2 S1 resolved most of these issues and for most of it's life the 3.8 was not the most desirable, but now I think values are the highest or thereabouts.

My money is on cars from the first year of production - 1991 model cars (a bit like a 1959 mini). And yes I got one. Not because I thought it was the best investment but because my neighbour had it since new. Just my 2p.

i think you're right they'll be the most desirable but will the production numbers for these early years counteract that?

it'd be nice to get an early 90's na1 nsx for £15-£20k again, as i'd be interested.
i understand the classic car values have peaked, but i agree the MT would be more appealing.

though i like to see people buy an nsx and drive it like it was meant for, not keep for making money.

When the currency finally collapses and the BoE gives your bank account a severe 'haircut' like they did in Greece, you might be able to do so. Oh, hang on...
