Doug's Take
The original NSX is an iconic Japanese sports car that boasts a high-revving, mid-mounted V6, fantastic handling, and exotic styling that's aged incredibly well. This particular example is a Japanese-market Honda NSX from its first model year. It's finished in a handsome shade of blue and boasts some eye-catching modifications – including a body kit, an aftermarket exhaust, a carbon fiber engine cover, and custom upholstery. Plus, this NSX comes with a U.S. title, so the difficult task on importing it has already been completed.
