    This Honda NSX-R race car has just gone through a complete and comprehensive restoration. It has not been raced since the 1999 Daytona 24 hour Race. The engine is a fresh Comptech GTP-L 3.0., just rebuilt by Nelson Engines. The Hewland 6 speed sequential gearbox is also rebuilt. The suspension components have all been rebuilt and replated.
  • Motec dash and ECU. The body and chassis are in excellent condition with very little use. It has only competed in 1 race. No races since restoration. Now in all new paint and livery.
  • It is the last produced, and probably the best Factory NSX-R Race Car available anywhere.
  • Includes many rare spare parts. Also includes some of the NSX-R GT-1 parts from the 3 cars which were destroyed by the factory.
  • This would make an excellent Historic Race Car or an important addition for any collector of Honda Racing History.
  • Includes manuals and FIA paperwork. Perfect car for the HSR Daytona Historic 24 or Sebring Classic 12 HR events!
