Low mileage early NSX for auction

[Papalazarou]

I think it is Andrews car but was under the impression he put on the 02 copies from Mita? They look like copies to me.
"NA2 alloys" pffft, Torque GT should know better!

Well spotted Simon.

Didn’t see that on my phone. They look really good. Anyone that isn’t an anorak would be fooled. Still a great set of wheels.

I see the Brightwell car is back up soon

It was also interesting watching the Collecting car auction of the low mileage 92 car which sold for £76K + tax on the same platform in 2021. It made a lot more this time!
Again, personally I’d have been a little worried about the vin plate and lack of history, but perhaps a bit of research could sort this. I see there is a company that can do a really comprehensive search on JDM history now.

I saw this the other day as well. If the mileage is correct 36,000KM (just over 22K miles then it seems cheap (if you get it nearer the £70k than £100k estimate)).

But it does seem to be missing some history.

Actually, even the top end seems reasonable - it looks a typical JDM new car that collided with a rose thorn.

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!
