    Default A sad day

    Drove my lovely NSX for the last time today...... onto a transporter!

    Sold to an overseas buyer, who may make himself known here in due course. The car's new home is in Hong Kong

    I know its "only" a collection of metal, plastic and leather (oh and some very clever thinking) but I've had a great 6 years of ownership and have become quite attached, knowing she was sitting there ready to entertain.

    I'll still be poking around the forum, and who knows may be an owner again at some point in the future, it's still my favorite all time car.

    Good luck to the new owner, you better take care of "her"

    Thanks for the banter, help, and fun times, and may see some of you again in the future.

    Cheers

    Interesting, I thought they were only interested in the 02+ models ....

    As James says, it was always good to talk to you, hope you return one day soon!

    Blimey!

    It was a very tidy car, so unsurprising it was snapped up.

    Stick around.

    “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

    Sad to see it go abroad... especially if it was a particularly nice one!

    Surprise to heard its new home is HK, it can be register if it is 20 years old. I notice that there is a few +02 NSX in HK that was import from UK but it is quite expensive after tax.
