1992 Honda NSX 1st Gen

Taking significant advantage of Honda’s successful motorsports division and the input of Formula One drivers Satoru Nakajima and Ayrton Senna, the NSX is a finely honed and beautifully balanced modern classic. It is powered by a transversely mounted 3.0-litre Honda V6 with the VTEC variable valve timing system. This is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. This Australian-delivered example from 1992 is presented in remarkable condition inside and out. Features include electrically adjustable sport seats with factory option tan leather, electric windows, air conditioning, and cruise control. It has been upgraded with a more contemporary Kenwood head unit with pop-out LCD screen and stereo, CD and DVD capabilities. Aftermarket ROHS wheels have been installed and the air conditioning has been adjusted to the current Australian standards, but the car is otherwise mechanically original and has been kept in its factory specification. It is sold with factory manuals, service books and literature as well as tools, jack and spare wheel. There is no known bodywork damage. Its Honda Red paintwork is in excellent condition. There are some barely noticeable imperfections, including minor stone chips on the bonnet and a flaw on the driver’s side rear vision mirror that has been touched up. The factory-option tan leather interior is believed to be entirely original and is in superb condition throughout. The leather seats show the expected softened patina, but do not look their age or mileage. The only flaws noted are a broken hinge on the clock cover, and some flaking of the black coating over the controls for the air conditioning. No electrical or mechanical faults have been detected. A standard annual New South Wales pink slip inspection was carried out in October, 2021 and the car passed without issue or advisory. The last maintenance was by European Autotech in Mona Vale in September 2019 at approximately 149,000 km. This was a standard service including engine oil, brake fluid and filter changes; and it also included modifying the air conditioning unit to meet current Australian standards. The NSX was previously purchased from Lorbek Luxury Cars, and they performed a routine service in 2016. The cam belt is reported to have been replaced in accordance with service book recommendations. Additional service history is available in the accompanying documentation. This Australian-delivered 1992 Honda NSX is presented in wonderful condition for its age, and with the exception of aftermarket wheels it remains true to the factory specification. Offered in sound mechanical order and with an exceptionally smart interior, this is an iconic modern classic that is increasingly sought after as a pure analogue performance car, and is rare to find in such impressive condition.
