Description
OVERVIEW
• This facelift Honda NSX – a modern classic Japanese sports car – is in excellent condition and has a perfect service history, having been cherished by it’s previous owners.
• It is very rare – Honda UK only sold 85 facelift cars – and of these, only 58 where manual coupes; 20 in New Formula Red.
• The car was supplied new by Honda UK on 1st September 2004 and has had four owners.
• It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3. 2-litre 24-valve V6 with VTEC, delivering a quoted 276bhp to the rear wheels via a slick six-speed manual transmission.
• This example has been with the owner for over 14 years, having been purchased from Honda Chiswick on 22nd March 2010.
• The odometer shows just 41, 675 miles from new, which is supported by a detailed Honda main dealer maintenance history.
• The appropriate S5 NSX registration is included in the sale.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES
• This example has the classic combination of New Formula Red over a black leather-trimmed interior.
• It rides on a set of 17-inch seven-spoke forged alloy wheels, housing gold-finished brake callipers and fitted with excellent Pirelli P-Zero tyres.
• There were very few ‘optional extras’ when new – only the addition of a CD Multichanger, that this car has, of course. The standard cruise control, air conditioning, a Bose cassette stereo, electric windows, electrically adjustable door mirrors, ABS, electronic power steering and electrically adjustable seats all work as they should.
• Accompanying the sale are the original owner’s book pack, complete service history, UK dealer NSX brochure, a small collection of NSX literature collected by the owner, a comprehensive collection of invoices and MOTs, two sets of keys and imobiliser fobs, the valet key and the red Honda master key in its original packaging.
CONDITION
• Like all our NSXs, this car is presented in truly excellent condition. There are no obvious marks, scratches or other imperfections in the paintwork or upholstery. If you are familiar with NSXs, you will know it’s difficult to believe this is a 20 year old car!
