All NSX are imports ... what a knob whoever wrote this.
Why do people appear to have some "negative" viewpoint on a JDM car?
its not the 1st time i have seen something similar
"This is a UK supplied car from new and not a Japanese Import"
"The value of life can be measured by how many times you soul has been deeply stirred" - Soichiro Honda
not sure why either, because the JDM cars got all the goodies first! they all came off exactly the same production line!
showing as sold.. but mentioning the number plate is by separate negotiation is a bit tight

'92 charlotte green auto.... as a daily
'37 Ford Y street rod......... something for the weekend!

It's like UK car can't have been crashed, clock or ragged to death. From a logical perpective. Cars imported from JP later in life are generally much better condition than their UK counterparts.
These dealers are often as clueless as the people who write the buyers guides.
What used to wind me up was; 1. As discussed, the UK car inferences. 2. Bloody provenance. Especially from so called specialists, who if they were honest would say anything to move their stock. And 3. The Senna connection. It's just painful.
It all seems a bit funny and inconsequential now.
Cheers.

Having bought a new Civic VTi and S2000 in Belgium, I am well used to hearing such tripe from the ignorati.
Having witnessed the state of some of these JDM imports, it almost seems a shame to bring them here where they may be comprehensively trashed in a short period.

“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
Check this one out.... oh how I laughed!

"Best on the market"?!?
I suppose if you've little to make your comparison against it's easy to think that a 20y.o. car that's been cherished, has a straight body, no colour-mismatches and FSH can be "best" (esp. when you look at the average 20y.o. car)
...but then you hang around the community and realise that's just average condition for an NSX.
Alternatively, in this case it's just advertising BS...

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

All of what you say is true but there will always be a premium paid by 'the market' for 'UK cars'. Not just NSX, any car.
Buyers are rightly or wrongly, comforted by the fact that a car has a full UK history, a speedo that reads in miles per hour, no accident history that can be traced, MOT history etc etc etc.
If you had two identical cars side by side and one was a 'UK car' and one was JDM, the UK car would sell first, every time - which leads to a modest premium. It might be tragic, but it's reality.
