Anyone else see the advert for the 2001 <12k miles NA2 at the bottom of the eBay page?

Been up for sale for a long time, from what I remember the original price was way higher (>£100K?), then down to £85K or £80K?
I suspect the same guys that I bought my NSX from, under a different name back then - S H Car Sales. Some interesting online reviews ...
To be fair, they were ok with me and certainly seemed to know about NSXs (they'd sold plenty over the years). Helped that they emailed me the old V5 before purchase, so I was able to call the previous owner.

I was offered that car around 8/9 years ago for £37500. How the market has changed. Didn’t go to see it. So no idea of condition.
Cheers.

Gosh, just 24,000 miles. Owner must have been v hacked off.
The write-off due to lack of airbag availability, if true, is a concern.

It's the Honda NSX."

But surely you can fit an aftermarket steering wheel such as a Motolita and not have to worry about having an airbag. This is what I have in my car.
In fact, the original wheel is in my loft with the airbag still inside.
Perhaps it will be priceless in a few year’s time ��
I think that the air-bag claim is a "slight" exaggeration!?Originally Posted by WhyOne?
A cat B shouldn't go back on the road due to the extent of the damage suffered. They're supposed to be stripped for parts etc... I just hope no one is duped into believing they can put this back on the road easily if at all.
Taken from an insurance website
Category B write-offs represent serious damage to a vehicle which could include body or parts damage that is beyond repair and should not re-appear on the roads. However if the vehicle is of significant value & either financial or sentimental, then you may think it is worth repairing to make it road worthy once more. Even if you want to get your car back on the road, you are faced with the potential block of insurance providers refusing you cover.

Yes, you can put a CAT B back on the road. Various reasons for CAT B status, not all are related to extent of damage.
You write to the DVLA and they will give you a new log book. DVLA only use a VIC marker system so the car will just have VIC mark against it. DVLA hold no details on CAT B, C, D etc. (or whatever the new ones are). They may ask for inspection but unlikely (they stopped doing this a couple of years ago)
However, it's the insurance companies that have an issue with CAT B cars so when you come to insure you may have a problem.
Not another NSX project!
