"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."
(J. Clarkson)
Im really surprised it hasn’t gone yet. A facelift for 50k possibly less. The stigma of higher mileage is preventing someone from a really good purchase. Yeah they might not make money on it but if your gonna keep it then it’s a steal. People forget these cars were designed by engineers not today’s accountants.

Yes, that '02 at £50k is the bargain of the current bunch, I think. (Although I prefer by far the pre-facelift design.)
My old green targa P111NSX has reappeared at Plans with a £10k hike. As usual, and as mentioned above, if you exclude autos (and then perhaps imported cars and anything previously crashed) the number of NSXs falls significantly. Then take out the neglected cars, and it's now a very small number.
There is a bit of recycling going on too ie speculators trying to make a fast buck. The car is listed, disappears, then reappears somewhere else with a higher price (or lower) a short time later. Case in point is the low mileage silver NA2 "pop-up" Y282LHC. Originally listed at £140,000 (!), then £125,000, then £75,000 and now (Autotrader) at £90,000 all within the past 6 months.
You are right though - there are only a very few really good ones out there.

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
I know Mike (the one I bought my '93 silver coupe) had a red facelift, and isn't fussed about buying good cars with lots of miles, but I thought he bought it more recently than 10 years ago?
Or is there another Mike with a red facelift NSX?
