New pics!

From my understanding,

All 1991 to 2001 coupes were "two tone"

Targas had body colored top half; but the "targa" section itself, came in black and was painted to body color by most dealers/owners

2002 onwards cars were all body colored [apart from NSX-R]

transmission type had nothing to do with body color.

According to http://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Changes_by_Year

1995
Roofs now all body colored

1997
Coupes can be special ordered with either a black top or a body color top; -Ts still have body colored roofs

Although of course the US market was different and looks like coupes were dropped from 1995 and then special order afterwards? I Don't know if this info bares any similarities to the UK

My old 2000 MY car was "one tone"

IIRC the change was 1999 not 2001, but I stand to be corrected.

My 1999 is one colour tone if that helps? So does this mean it was special order?

Well that really throws it all up in the air lol

I have seen late coupes with back roof and some with colored roofs; I guess at some stage it may have been an option or "no cost option"?

"Nick Graves" NSX is a late 2000 model, and has black roof. I almost sure I have pics in my archive of 2001 cars with black also.

This a polular debate amongst Forum members. My vote is for the two colour. I think the original NSX concept of a black roof to echo the fighter plane cockpit still works. The photo on the cover the Brian Long NSX book is the definitive NSX look which I was originally attracted to.

Just my 2p worth

Nope.As i said earlier it actually feels different to normal paintwork,it feels like an old style vinyl roof, whereas the one colour cars look like a coupe.
