Searching for 'my' Holy Grail........

NSX-R = collectors Item

If you are buying one to pile on the miles it wil just plummet in price so hardly worth it.

How much will people be willing to pay for a 70K miles NA2 R?

Also when you consider how underpowered it is in real world terms, then it is just buying a car because you want to buy that car.

All IMHO etc.

I can get them in no problem and have them IVA/SVA tested and on the road, its just that prices of the NSX-R's are so strong!

....I think that's what James was saying....

To bring in a mark 2 type R would not make any real economical sense unless money was no object. I suppose lavishing £20K on upgrades on a standard car, will take it to the level of a R or beyond, but won't ever be a R but at least you can upgrade the standard car to match the level of more powerful or track orientated cars. Just my 2p

......... What would peoples spec shortlist be for an existing UK NSX?

If you had £20K to throw at your car, what would you do?

Cheers,

James.

Pretty much what I have done but it didn't cost me £20k!

Better tyres, brake overhaul, chassis bars and upgraded ARB's ... that gets the chassis sorted for road use and occasional track outings. I/H/E & Cats to release a few extra ponies and you've got as much as you need for the UK roads IMO.

I'd then spend the rest on training me to get the best out of it and losing some weight from both the NSX and me

Some would prefer to slap on an SC or turbo but at this time its not for me.

I disagree. Yes, buying a delivery mileage car of any sort is daft, you'll pay a big premium and using it, at all, will see that premium gone in a flash.

So buy one with a few miles on, say 20K, to start with and enjoy it. It's not an everyday car anyway so you're only going to put a few thousand miles on every year.

There are lots of Porsche RS's (original 2.7 or 964/993) with >50K miles on that still get regular use and they are worth plenty.

Look at the price differences on NA2 Rs in Japan.

Look at the price differences on NA2 Rs in Japan.

Percentage wise, the variation in price allowing for mileage doesn't look very different to regular NSX's? There aren't many cars to compare though.

For me having an NSX-R was a bit of problem, since I like to add my touch to my cars. My old R was great in having had all the bits done by Verso dealer/mugen blah blah, and I only limited myself to wheels and exhaust, both easily reversible items.

A grade 5 NXS-R would be untouchable.

Drive it a few times here in the UK and between the grit and the dickwats on the roads and parking areas and soon it would be in the same sort of state as the NA2 R that Honda imported.

Have you seen it lately then Ary?

Not lately, but judging by the comments of others who have over the last few years it left a lot to be desired.
