2016 NC1 NSX, Casino White Pearl with red semi-aniline leather and alcantara.
Actually, even the top end seems reasonable - it looks a typical JDM new car that collided with a rose thorn.

“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
Sales tax, servicing costs and import tax (still owing) could take the edge off that. On recent auction and dealer sales this car should be in the £120k’s The auction houses always underestimate the values of NSX’s. The one that sold for £110K + tax in the spring had an advertised estimate of £55k!
I find the disparity in prices over the last year or so a little scary. I see original cars with good history making less and being harder to shift than riced up non original cars, some with glaringly obvious, hard to reverse issues. It’s beginning to make me thing that provenance doesn’t seem to matter. It’s like money laundering; 1. take a car that has no history and a questionable provenance. 2. Buy, then wait a year or two. 3. Sell at auction as part of a collection. Hey presto, you’ve just made £50K. Just out of interest, how many cars do you need to have a private collection?
Oh I have become so cynical. If only I could make the imoji’s work.

A cynic is what an optimist calls a realist.
Just four cars in my museum!

Sometimes the gamble doesn't pay off. That car made more at auction last year. Interesting as it was a much better bet than the black one that sold for £120K.
I guess that’s the lot of the car auction!

This one seems to have sold on the cheap side.
