    Just out of interest, if you have fixed Ben's old LBBP why and how were you offering all of the parts from it? I think Simon NSXGB bought the wheels so am I being thick (very possible) in not understanding this?

    Matt, as far as I am aware a second damaged car was bought to enable the repair of the first LBBP that was bought.

    The parts is coming from other car. We had this car for years and now is taken apart. To break apart Ben's car would be a big mistake.So now its ready for full re-spray.
    I do agree you have to be honest about these cars then you selling it, but all these insurance categories for me personally don't mean anything as long as the car re-paired in proper way.
    Why and how insurance companies doing quick write-offs for NSX cars, because we all probably know the prices for parts in Honda dealers. So its much cheaper at most times just put a category D,C or B and re-pay the money for owner. There is nobody probably could explain how they choose the category for that particular car. In past i have seen nearly full fire damaged ones with category D and cars with few scratches around with category B.

    Category A: Scrap only (i.e. with few or no economically salvageable parts and which is of value only for scrap metal
    Category B: Break for spare parts if economically viable (excluding any residual scrap value)
    Category C: Repairable total loss vehicles where repair costs including VAT exceed the vehicle's pre-accident value
    Category D: Repairable total loss vehicle where repair costs including VAT do not exceed the vehicle's pre-accident value


    I know what you're trying to say, but that doesn't add up.

    Cheers,

    My next door neighbour's brother was (up until recently) the General Manager of Honda UK.

    I asked him the same question once and he very kindly provided me with the details of the number of NSXs sold each year.

    The grand total was 491.

    If you're able to provide a full breakdown that would be very useful... we can compare oit to the NSX database held on the site to see just how many we know about.

    Thanks,

    1996 38
    1997 35
    1998 10
    1999 17
    2000 11
    2001 8
    2002 23 (sold so far)
    2003 ?

    Is that the one that was being sold in Scotland a couple of years ago? Maybe it was light grey or dark silver?
