Speedmaster, it is my fourth Jag (91 V12 convertible, 95 V12 convertible [which I still have] and an 07 XK came before the '10 XKR) and my wife's 2nd NSX (91 and now the '95). The NSXs are automatics so not as desirable as the manual versions but perfect for her for driving around in Los Angeles traffic. The '95 is black with tan/black interior and now has 175K miles on it and with the crazy NSX prices we could probably sell it for more than we paid for it even after adding 100K miles! We've done the normal stuff on the engine like timing belts, spark plugs, water pump and also changed the struts and rotors due to age. I also re-covered the seats where the bolster wore on the driver's side and had the a/c head unit rebuilt. The NSX is an amazing car. Even after 175K miles, we've replaced one ignition coil pack and the car still passes California SMOG with very low emissions and no blue smoke from the tail pipes on start up. You would struggle to get any Ferrari to 175K miles without some seriously large invoices!
