Thread: NSXs with provenance

  1. #1

    Default NSXs with provenance

    Inspired by the Senna thread, does anyone out there own an NSX with provenance, great or otherwise?

    I realise P27's previous owners included Harvey Postlethwaite and Simon Prelude, for example.

    Obviously, if the current owner is a famous or illustrious person, I won't think it immodest of you to post up!

    “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

    I'm not sure that Dr Postlethwaite actually owned P27?

    Which brings up a point, try to distinguish between "owned" and "loaned". HUK placed quite a few NSX's with minor celebrities to help(?) bring up their profile. I know that Tara Palmer Tomkinson drove a Midnight purple, late 3Ltr around London for a while.

    Cheers

    I believe she is on record for driving said NSX through London totally starkers. On a dare.

    So the providence could be sitting where her bare arse was sitting?
