Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...

Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof
Hi Ary, as always great to hear from you. You go down in history as being a great previous keeper of this car. My target price for NSX-R #230 is £45k.
Best regards
Chris
Certainly a good deal for any of the many that always want an NSX-R specially with the prices in Japan and the Yen.
Good luck with the sale,
AR
Thanks for all the expressions of interest. Here are some more photos plus the text of the forthcoming PISTONHEADS ad for further info & reference :-
FOR SALE : 1994 HONDA NSX-R #230 ; 51000 miles
NSX-R #230 is one of 2 cars believed to be registered in the UK. It has a full, extensive and very interesting history all the way back to the original Japanese order, build spec and invoice. It is in excellent internal and external condition, having been maintained to exacting standards by a leading UK marque specialist
The NSX-R represented Honda’s no expense barred definition of the ultimate road / track supercar. Modifications from the standard NSX were extensive and the following list is not exhaustive :
Exterior
Aluminium framed and meshed engine maintenance lid
Low specific gravity SMC rear spoiler/wing with 3rd brake light
Special Front Honda Emblem
Special side emblem at the door
Special Rear 'H' logo
Aluminium meshed side air intake guard + front duct cover
Special larger diameter exhaust tail pipe
Special engine head cover
Tyre/wheel
Special tyre
Special 15/16 Enkei wheel / 16/17” ‘Custom Program’ NSX-R wheels
Instrument panel
6 x Yellow needles
Carbon look meter panel
Momo steering wheel
Chassis dynamics
Ventilated brake splash guard
Special damper
Special spring + bush rate
Special final ratio
Special LSD (higher pre-load)
Shorter clutch pedal stroke
2 x Reinforcement bar at the front
Aluminium door beam
Aluminium front & rear bumper beam
Smaller battery size
Interior
Titanium shift knob
Alcantara interior
Lightweight loop pile floor carpet
Matt black special coated centre panel + door panel + steering column cover
Black plated parking brake lever button
Aluminium side sill plate
Special arm rest centre console
Auto Heater
Seat
Recaro carbon/aramid composite seat (Driver: electrical power slide, Pass.: fixed)
Factory fitted optional equipment
Full automatic A/C Climate control
Honda/Bose audio system + auto aerial with half height switch equipped
Real carbon for centre panel + door
Etc.
Removal of SRS Air bag system
Removal of TCS, Cruise control, electric door mirror control
Special alignment with lowered rideheight
Single glazed rear partition glass
Higher accuracy on specially balanced engine parts
Removal of noise deadening material
The result, signed off by Ayrton Senna was a reduction of 120kgs and a faster Nurburgring lap time than the contemporary 911 Turbo.
#230 benefits from factory specified tubular MUGEN headers, a shorter MUGEN final drive and a free flow exhaust setup that render it notably more accelerative than a standard NSX-R. A/C and a full hi-fi were specified from new, as with most NSX-Rs
Despite its exotic specification, all NSX-R parts are readily available and due to the NSX’s inherent reliability being retained, the car is easy to maintain in the UK
This is a unique opportunity to purchase a ‘no questions’ UK-registered example of this iconic supercar

"If you want to argue that The Best Car in the World is a supercar, go ahead. But there is only one that makes the grade. Only one that's built properly.
Gordon Murray knows.
Rowan Atkinson knows.
It's the Honda NSX."

And of course the odd clueless troll..Originally Posted by WhyOne?
Lovely car, would it wrong to wrap it white?

Aw, I like reading PH for the clueless trolls & the inevitable descent into a pissing contest, as the septic tanks so nicely put it.
Nice to see the atricle though.

“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
