Specification And Features
This NSX is a user-owned vehicle and an AA auction first entry car. The specification includes black leather seats, cruise control, power seats and ETC. The auction sheet also confirms instruction manuals, warranty book and maintenance/service records are included with the vehicle.
Inspector Comments From Auction Sheet
The auction inspector notes aftermarket wheels with wheel damage, aftermarket suspension, aftermarket exhaust with scratches and dents, steering wheel wear, seat wear, small scratches and small dents around the body, alongside previous repair traces.
Damage Report
The auction diagram shows W2 repair marks around multiple body panels, A3 damage around side cover sections and an A2 scratch on the lower rear area. Small scratches, dents and repair traces are noted throughout the vehicle.
This NSX has clearly been enthusiast owned and modified over the years and should not be viewed as a collector-grade untouched example.
Condition Overview
Exterior
- This NSX still presents beautifully in classic Formula Red and carries all the road presence that made the NA1 such an icon worldwide. The aftermarket suspension and exhaust setup suggest the car has likely been enthusiast owned throughout its life.
- The auction sheet does however note multiple repair marks, scratches, dents and cosmetic imperfections around the bodywork. The aftermarket wheels also show damage and several exterior panels have repair traces.
- For buyers wanting to improve the cosmetic condition, we can assist with bodywork and restoration through Vehicle Solutions or restoration-level preparation through Petroyle depending on the finish required.
Interior
- The black leather interior is graded B overall and still presents well for the age and mileage. The inspector notes steering wheel wear and seat creasing/wear, which is expected on a 1991 NSX that has clearly been enjoyed properly over the years.
- The power seats, cruise control and black leather combination make this a fantastic long-distance touring NSX rather than a stripped-out hardcore collector example.
Mechanical
- The auction sheet does not note any major mechanical faults, although buyers should still budget sensibly for maintenance on any early NSX.
- The aftermarket suspension and exhaust should be inspected properly after arrival and some buyers may choose to refresh components depending on how original they want the vehicle to feel moving forward.
Why The Automatic NSX Is Becoming So Popular
For years everyone chased manual NSXs while the automatic cars quietly remained far more affordable.
That is now changing rapidly.
The automatic NA1 is becoming hugely popular with buyers who actually want to enjoy their NSX regularly. Rather than chasing heel-and-toe downshifts and ultra-hard driving, the automatic NSX suits long-distance touring, relaxed cruising and everyday usability perfectly.
It still delivers the incredible chassis balance, iconic styling, Ayrton Senna-developed handling feel and naturally aspirated VTEC experience, but in a more refined and relaxed package.
Many owners now see the automatic NSX as the gentleman’s version of the platform. Easier to drive, easier to live with and significantly cheaper than manual cars, while still offering the same legendary ownership experience.
As manual prices continue exploding worldwide, automatic examples are now becoming recognised as one of the smartest ways into NSX ownership before values rise even further.
Why The Honda NSX Changed The Supercar World
The NSX forced Ferrari and Porsche to completely rethink how they built performance cars.
Honda proved that a supercar could start every morning, feel perfectly engineered, remain reliable and still deliver exotic handling and excitement. Ayrton Senna’s involvement in the chassis development became legendary and the final product remains one of the greatest balanced driver’s cars ever created.
For years the market ignored the NSX while European supercars climbed in value. Today collectors finally understand how important the NA1 really is and prices continue rising globally every year.
