1991 Honda NSX

The Honda NSX (1990-2005) redefined what a supercar could be. Mid-engine 3.0-3.2 V6 VTEC with 270-290hp in an aluminium monocoque. Ayrton Senna helped develop the chassis. Daily-drivable reliability with supercar performance. Around 18,000 built worldwide. The car that scared Ferrari into improving. Values from £60k.

Original NSX (NA1/NA2): Engine C30A/C32B V6 VTEC - exceptional reliability if maintained. Timing belt critical - replace every 5 years/60k miles. VTEC solenoid can fail. Clutch expensive (£2k+). Snap ring issue on early manual gearboxes - check history. Aluminium chassis means expensive crash repairs. Check suspension mounts and subframes for corrosion. Some galvanic corrosion where steel meets aluminium. Targa roof seals need monitoring. Values rising consistently. Budget £3,000-5,000 annually. Honda or specialist essential.
