    What do you think???
    I couldn't agree more with the article.

    Just come back from Le Mans in the NC1 and my friend just loved flooring it and watching cars become specs in the rearview mirror! Put the car in Sports plus mode and the window down in the tunnel leading into Rouen and the sound was just wonderful, any match for a 911 or Mclaren.

    The amount of people who wanted to talk to us about the car when parked in the carpark at Le Mans was unreal, this did irritate my dad as nobody wanted to talk to him about his Jag

    I was surprised to read (elsewhere) that Honda have sold just 30 NC1's in the UK.

    I see there are ~10 second hand cars currently or sale (pistonheads and autotrader). Is there another car with such a high % of cars sold now available secondhand?

    That doesn't sound correct, IIRC they stopped taking orders back in 2016 as they had 120 confirmed orders (which was going to take them at least 18 months to fulfil). I wonder if that 30 is the number they have sold so far this year (2019).

    It sounded too low to me Paul, so you are probably right.

    I'll try and find the article.

    I wonder then if they mean that only 30 are being used, with the rest just being kept in storage and only come out to get serviced.

    Good to have an opinion from the man that should know, cheers Paul.

    I still think though Honda/Acura are missing a massive opportunity in not entering a couple of NSXGT cars (in one of the lower categories obviously) for the worlds most prestigious 24hr race, it's not like they didn't one or two to enter with.

    But hats off to Toyota though, I hope they cash in on all the acclaim they're receiving at present.🍾👍
