Collecting cars auction

'Matching numbers' is not so relevant in the Honda-world. Based on the silly (and proven wrong) statement of Enzo Ferrari that aerodynamics is for people who are not capable to build engines (haha), one would say a 'matching number' certificate is only needed for the junk engines build in the F- and P-cars of that aera. Moreoverthis, such cars are bought by people having very little technical clue or two left hands, to round that prejudice off. No wonder, they jump after x certificates to justify that THEIR object of desire is the best available toy out there. Of course, there are plenty of false certificates and false cars out there for sure. Thanks goodness, that kind of uncessary 'industry' can't evolve in the NSX-market.

Hoping to send my OEM radio over to Kaz and see if he will fix it up for me. I was able to find a working radio from a 2004 and going to install it. My original radio has quit doing anything but static but the c/d player is still in fine nick after it warms up.
Seems no one over here in the colonies can or will do the repair without doing some bodged up job or doing some “retro fit” rubbish for a stupid price.
If I have to pay a ton of the Queens best I want someone like the Kaz to do some work on it so I know it will have the best eyes and hands there.

Note that all radios will suffer and potentially succumb to capacitor leakage at some point in time. Since it's much easier to fix when it's not fatal yet I would get both radios fixed, if possible.

Thanks for the advice.
I actually have another OEM radio as well, three total, the original one that came in my car from 1992. It went bad back in 2006, it just was having static noise so it was at the beginning of failure, and before I knew this was a recurring problem I changed it and thought that was fixed for good.
Seems I should see if Kaz would have a look see and if they both and the 2004 I have not yet installed, he could fix them and I could pass the two spares on to some others there in the UK and have the newest one I bought sent back to have for myself.
I welcome any suggestions at all.

Cheers

Another Collecting Cars auction, this time a 97 targa with 95k miles went for £76,000 + 6% premium.

Pretty strong market still

An almost identical one coming up in the UK on October 2nd: https://auctions.doreandrees.com/cat...-cars-lot-212/

Guide price of 30-40k is presumably standard auctioneer practice?

Its an Auto - so probably the reason it will be lower. Still not a lot of money for a lovely car. More people should try the Auto - they would be pleasantly surprised just how good they are - even side by side with the 5 speed.
