Thread: Manual NA1 wanted

  1. Default Manual NA1 wanted

    Hello all,

    Before I start looking to import one from Japan, if anyone is looking to sell or knows of a suitable car then please PM me.

    Cheers.

    Hi & welcome.

    Plans in Surrey have one for sale that might be a good place to start your search:

    http://www.nsxuk.com/#/1991-manual-coupe-formula-red/

    Just had a look at what is available on the big Japanese car sales sites - asking prices range from GBP 27,500 for a 1990, to well more than double that for a low mileage '91. Most are 1991 models - manual cars made 1992-96 are very few and far between at the moment.

    Sorry can't help more than this.

    Good luck with the search.

    Nope, I've had a look round and there are definitely none for sale anywhere in the UK so you'll have to import one. For sure.

    Expect several at Plans. Or the ones in the For Sale section. Or on eBay where there are about 10. Or Autotrader. Or Pistonheads.

    I'm assuming that Talat has looked in the usual places, and not found anything that appeals. NSX in Japan cost as much as they do in the UK, if not more - that's all I was trying to point out.

    Does it have to be a manual? The autos are still very good you know.

    Very much this. I'm tempted by the Plans car but I'm wary of the mileage - it could be an issue should I wish to move the car on in a couple of years. The only other manual cars seem to be fairly low mileage / collector type cars which won't tie in with my usage. I'd be looking to do suspension mods and putting the car on a diet and using it for track days. I should really have bought the Silver Type R spec car that Plans where selling early last year (I think) but I went and bought a GT3 instead (which I have now sold). The car I'm looking to buy will effectively replace the GT3.

    I wouldn't worry about mileage at all.
    I still track day my car and it's now approaching 150,000 miles on the clock.
    Buy one, mod it, enjoy it, keep it or sell it and just move on. You won't regret it.
    They are very strong mechanically and I should know after 18 years of ownership.
    Pride.

    Try PM'ing Dr. Mikey. He was going to be selling a silver manual in the near future...

    Don't worry too much about the bit in bold - as you're going to take your car on track so seriously, it will still be harder to sell on. As long as you don't bend it, you'll be fine.

    I think the chap was politely asking us on the forum if we know of a car for sale - a tried and trusted way of securing a non advertised piece of gold dust, not 'are there any NSX's for sale'.
