Import a Honda NSX from Japan

The first generation splits into the NA1 (1990–1997) with the 3.0-litre C30A VTEC V6, and the NA2 (1997–2005) with the larger 3.2-litre C32B and a 6-speed manual. Early cars use pop-up headlights; the 2002 facelift switched to fixed headlights.

In Japan the car wears Honda badges (it was sold as Acura elsewhere). Manual-transmission cars are the most desirable; the automated F-Matic is less sought after. The rare NSX-R (Type R) is a track-focused, highly collectible variant. We confirm the exact spec and condition at auction before bidding.

For the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia the Japanese NSX is right-hand drive from the factory, so it fits RHD markets directly — there is no age restriction in the UK or Ireland.

For the United States, the first-generation NSX qualifies under the 25-year import rule; earlier model years have now passed the threshold, with later years following each year. Importing the Japanese-market RHD Honda NSX this way is a route to a car the US never officially sold in that form.

Whichever country you’re in, we handle the auction purchase, export documentation, de-registration and shipping, and walk you through what to expect at your end.
