In an era dominated by Ferrari flat-twelves and Lamborghini excess, Honda arrived in 1989 with a car that changed the supercar landscape forever. At the Chicago Motor Show, Honda President Tadashi Kume famously unveiled the new NSX and repeatedly blipped the throttle of its quad-cam VTEC V6 to an 8,000rpm-plus crescendo, the sharp metallic wail reportedly carrying through the conference halls and drowning out presentations nearby. It was a dramatic statement of intent. The NSX was not simply another sports car, it was Japan announcing a genuine supercar to the world.
What followed was revolutionary. Combining exotic styling, all-aluminium construction, race-bred engineering and everyday usability, the NSX offered performance, reliability and precision in a package the Europeans struggled to match. Developed with input from Ayrton Senna and powered by Honda’s high-revving 3.0-litre VTEC V6, it remains one of the most important and usable supercars of the modern era.
Offered here is an exceptionally desirable and increasingly scarce UK-supplied, right-hand-drive manual NSX, first registered in March 1991 and understood to be among the earliest official UK-delivered cars. Early British-market NSX models are especially sought after, combining the purity of the original 3.0-litre pop-up headlamp design with factory right-hand-drive specification and the engaging five-speed manual transmission. Carrying chassis number JHMNA11500T000242 and registration H6 NSX, this is a landmark Japanese performance car with genuine provenance, rarity and collector appeal.
Exported to Hong Kong in 2012, the NSX was acquired by its present owner in 2017 before returning to the UK in 2025. Showing 116,227 miles, the car is reported to drive beautifully and exactly as a properly sorted Honda flagship should. It was driven for over an hour to our facility and subsequently to a local show and back without issue, with no untoward noises and all systems operating as intended.
Originally finished in Formula Red, the lightweight all-aluminium body has since been professionally refinished in striking Concrete Grey, a modern and understated colour that suits the crisp, timeless lines of the NSX remarkably well. Panel fit appears pleasing, the finish presents to a strong standard, and the subtle colour change gives the car a distinctive presence while retaining the elegance of the original design.
The purposeful stance is enhanced further by a set of iconic Rays Volk Racing TE37 Saga S alloy wheels, measuring 18 inches to the front and 19 inches to the rear, wrapped in new Bridgestone Potenza tyres. Behind them sit upgraded Brembo brake calipers finished in yellow, providing both visual impact and improved stopping performance.
Inside, the cabin remains true to the original NSX ethos of driver-focused ergonomics and quality engineering, while benefitting from carefully considered upgrades. The headlining and door cards have been retrimmed in Alcantara, complementing the original seats which show minimal wear for the mileage. Carpets and trim present well, and overall the interior feels that of a cherished enthusiast-owned example rather than a tired early supercar.
Audio has been substantially improved with a quality ICE installation comprising a Pioneer Mixtrax Bluetooth head unit, Taramps amplifiers and reversing camera, supported by invoices totalling £3,800. A bespoke prototype full exhaust system by renowned Derbyshire specialists Milltek Sport has also been fitted, providing a sharper, more purposeful soundtrack to the VTEC V6 without compromising refinement.
Importantly, substantial recent maintenance has been carried out. A major service completed on 11 January 2025 at 115,843 miles included timing belt, tensioners, water pump and associated works at a cost of just under £4,000, a significant benefit for the next custodian and evidence of careful ongoing upkeep.
Increasingly recognised as one of the greatest driver’s cars of its generation, early manual UK-market NSX models are now firmly established as collectible modern classics. Combining rarity, usability and engineering pedigree in equal measure, this striking example offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of Japan’s true motoring icons.
