CAR OVERVIEW
Honda NSX NA1 1991 Manual Coupe Japanese Import
Overview of the Honda NSX NA1
The original Honda NSX is now firmly established as one of the most important Japanese performance cars ever built and this 1991 Honda NSX NA1 represents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure one directly from Japan.
Finished in Silver Metallic with a Black leather interior and equipped with the highly desirable 5 speed manual gearbox, this NSX has covered just 32,590km from new, equivalent to approximately 20,251 miles. Low mileage manual NA1 examples have become exceptionally difficult to source and values continue to rise as collectors worldwide recognise the significance of Honda’s legendary supercar.
This particular example has received an Auction Grade R due to previous repair history noted on the auction sheet. However, it remains a very attractive proposition for buyers looking to enter NSX ownership at a significantly lower price point than equivalent Grade 4 examples. Visually the car presents extremely well and the auction sheet confirms only age related cosmetic wear alongside the recorded repair history.
For many enthusiasts, this represents one of the most sensible ways to purchase an NSX today. The vehicle retains its desirable specification, low mileage and collectable status while offering a more accessible entry point into one of Japan’s most iconic performance cars.

Why The Honda NSX NA1 Changed The Supercar World
When Honda launched the NSX, the established European manufacturers were forced to take notice.
Before the NSX arrived, supercars were often temperamental, uncomfortable and expensive to maintain. Honda challenged this thinking completely by creating a car that delivered exotic performance while maintaining everyday usability and reliability.
The all aluminium chassis was revolutionary at the time and helped create a lightweight, perfectly balanced sports car that delivered exceptional feedback to the driver.
Perhaps the most famous chapter in the NSX story involved Ayrton Senna. During development, Honda invited the Formula One legend to evaluate the chassis. His feedback directly influenced the final setup and helped engineers increase rigidity and improve handling characteristics before production commenced.
The image of Senna heel and toe shifting an NSX while wearing loafers remains one of the most iconic moments in automotive history and perfectly demonstrates how intuitive and rewarding the car became to drive.
Today the NSX is regarded as one of the greatest driver’s cars ever built and values continue to reflect that growing appreciation.
Why Buyers Regret Not Purchasing An Honda NSX NA1 Years Ago
Only a few years ago, many clean NSX examples could still be purchased for between £25,000 and £30,000.
At the time, buyers often overlooked them in favour of newer performance cars. Fast forward to today and the market has undergone a complete transformation.
Collectors now recognise that the NSX represents something unique.
Lightweight construction.
Naturally aspirated VTEC power.
Manual gearbox.
Mid engine balance.
Timeless styling.
Exceptional reliability.
These ingredients are almost impossible to find in modern performance cars.
As a result, values have risen dramatically worldwide and many enthusiasts openly admit they wish they had purchased one when prices were significantly lower.
Condition Report
This vehicle has received an Auction Grade R and Interior Grade B.
The auction inspector notes previous repair history which is the primary reason for the R grade classification.
The auction diagram records the following observations.
W2 repair marks are present on multiple panels.
U1 small dents are recorded around the body.
Paint deterioration is noted on lower body sections.
The left rear quarter panel has previous repair work recorded.
Repair marks are noted to the rear bumper and rear panel areas.
Wheel scratches are present.
Minor body scratches and cosmetic imperfections are consistent with age.
The inspector also notes age related wear throughout the vehicle.
Importantly, none of these observations appear unusual for a vehicle now more than three decades old and many of the cosmetic imperfections can be addressed through Autoselecta’s aftercare and restoration services if desired.
Overall, this should be viewed as an honest, usable NSX rather than a concours show vehicle.
