NSX numbers in th UK

[swlabhot]

I read a post somewhere here whre the numbers sold by Honda UK are listed each year. I couldn't find it for the love of money and search came up with too many hits...

Anyone know how many are on our roads??

Just saw an article in CAR magazine that says 17 cars sold in 2004 and 20 cars sold in 2003.

Just goes to show what a unique set of people we are 8)

How many sales do the mass-producers such as Ferrari or Porsche, clock up by comparison, I wonder?

[tommy]

[tommy]

Sorry, a bit late posting to this....but I went looking for NSX numbers in Ireland, just to see how rare we are over here.

My friendly Garda (Policeman....Sir!!) just reported back that we have five!! registered in the Country in total.

......just a bit of useless trivia, from over this side.

....reviving an old post while looking for some info. With regard to the numbers of UK sales per year, does anyone know what the breakdown of which colours were sold each year is? I'm sure I saw it here or on prime somewhere...
