I agree that certainly the NSX is a great car when created but isn't that 10 years ago or so?
The problem for me, is that 10 years ago is not like e-type time ago, and that the look of the car holds the wrong image, I imagine some of it's downfall are the sheds you refer to.
Similar to a Supra really. Who would buy that now? A quality, unmolested, low mileage standard twin turbo version would be great, however, when you think about the car, you think 5k, chav, Burberry, Jap import, polo shirts with the collar up, Henry Lloyd, etc.
NSX isn't that bracket, but maybe the shitters are ruining the good ones. The last NSXs I saw were owned by Asian computer indy computer shop owners in greater Manchester and were sheds.

There are 9 on Autotrader, of which 5 are manual and 4 auto, cheapest manual is 14,995. Most expensive model on there is 29,995 for 44k model and strangly that 44k model is on pistonheads on 41k, for more money. So it has been sitting around somewhere for a while.
It might be down to my problem with Japanese metal. They generally always > taxis.

There are too many NSX Auto sheds around.
Usually with big shiny Bangra-chav alloys
However the manuals are great and many are well looked after.
Simonprelude's one is another good example of a well looked after example which is also for sale too.

Possibly, but the NSX will still be a solid car in 10 years' time, whereas Esprits turned into sheds very rapidly.
