An iconic ‘pop-up headlight’ Japanese sports car, presented in smart overall condition and with a handful of well-considered modifications. This handsome NSX is powered by a mid-mounted 3.0-litre naturally aspirated V6 with VTEC, driving the rear wheels through the sought-after five-speed manual transmission. The odometer currently displays around 98,800 kilometres from new, and the car’s last service was carried out locally approximately 300 kilometres ago. This NSX was purchased in August 2020 from auction in Japan before being exported to Australia, where it is now offered for sale. This NSX is finished in Berlina Black over a co-ordinating black leather-trimmed cabin. It rides on a set of 18-inch gold split-rim BBS alloy wheels with a silver lip, shod with newly fitted Kumho tyres. Factory equipment includes electrically adjustable seats, electric windows and mirrors, cruise control and air-conditioning. The factory radio has been updated with a brand new Bluetooth-compatible JVC stereo to suit the market in Australia. This NSX has also been equipped with a Blitz pod air filter and a Japanese high-end stainless-steel quad-exit exhaust system. Accompanying the sale is the import documentation, auction report from Japan, original key, spare wheel, and toolkit. There is no known bodywork damage. The owner states that the vehicle was graded 3.5C during its Japanese auction due to unpolished and aged paintwork, missing interior trims and worn leather, but all these issues have since been professionally corrected. The Berlina Black paintwork is described as being in good overall condition as a 30-year-old car, though there are a few minor use-related marks around the car, including a small dent and stone chips on the bonnet, a small dent on the roof, and a few small scratches around the car which has been professionally touched up. The front end has recently been resprayed to rectify stone chips. The classic BBS LM alloy wheels have normal wear and marks on the face and lip and the tyres are freshly installed. Moving inside, the cabin is in good original order following a full retrim on the driver’s seat, armrest, and sun visors and the rest has been either restored to the highest possible standards retaining the original parts or replaced with OEM parts. There are a few signs of use across the main touchpoints, including on the factory leather gear knob, the electric seat controls, and the door cards. No mechanical or electrical faults have been detected. The seller notes that the air-conditioning has a leak but the air-conditioning system is in fully working order after a re-gas. The car’s most recent roadworthiness inspection was performed in December 2021 with no warnings or advisories being issued. This NSX’s most recent service was performed in December 2021 at approximately 98,500 kilometres, when Sky Auto Import replaced the engine oil and oil filter. During the recent service, some OEM maintenance parts include rocker cover gaskets and oil pan gasket, and the oxygen sensors have also been replaced. Prior services were carried out during the car’s time in Japan as shown in the classic service stickers on driver side door jamb, including 89660km in July 2018 and 82389km in August 2016 at Honda. The Honda NSX was famously developed with the late Ayrton Senna’s input and delivers a thrilling driving experience, with CAR magazine declaring it “an utter joy to thread through sweeping mountain roads”. This is a well-presented and highly usable example of the iconic Japanese supercar that has covered a relatively modest 98,800 kilometres from new. Fitted with a few well-chosen modifications, this NSX would make a rare addition to any collection of JDM classics and is sure to thrill with its tremendous performance, sublime handling, and legendary Honda build quality.
