    Read my post again please, I am only calling bastard those who fix them and them falsely advertise the cars as clean examples.

    One thing is to fix it for yourself, another is to try to sodomise a fellow NSX fan by selling a bumped car as HPI clear.

    I agree, sellers need to be honest about the cars they are moving on. I've seen some pretty shocking examples lately supposedly with no previous damage; one was an S2000 that had a different shade of paint on every panel and the other was a GT3 which had been a total loss but still showed up clean on the HPI. On the positive side I see there is currently an NSX for sale declaring it was previously damaged.

    I have a number of reservation about having a thread with a list of all the damaged repaired cars; Anyone looking for an NSX may view this as a list of cars to avoid rather than a list of potentially well repaired cars with no further issues. It may also lump all the good and bad together and may hurt resale of all NSX's.

    However, despite the previous debate about discussing cars for sale on AT or E-bay, I think it's fair and right to highlight cars advertised as hpi clear with no previous damage which we know to have a history. There's nothing worse than buying a car then clicking onto the forum to find the previous owner put it under a bus!

    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,

    1993 47
    1994 19
    1995 55
    1996 38
    1997 35
    1998 10
    1999 17
    2000 11
    2001 8
    2002 23 (sold so far)
    2003 ?
    2004 ?
    2005 ? (But we know they sold at least 12)
    2005 NA2 NSX, Berlina Black with full red leather interior.

    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.
