The NSX Story: Our Dreams Come True Book

I picked this up from a Japanese NSX owner that stated the book was given to the original NSX development team. Can't verify that right now but I plan to later on this year. No idea how many copies were given or how many are floating around. What I do know is that there is no ISBN number and that it was self-published by Honda. And that they went to great trouble to ensure book quality and presentation. Photos are in color, black and white, and includes drawings and technical specs.

The book is wrapped by a thick card stock case, a dust cover, and the white portion of the dustcover is removable. It's a little larger than a typical paper sheet (8.5x11). Copyright is 1990 and 194 pages. Gorgeous book…too bad it's 99% in Japanese. ;)

That is very cool. Where are you able to locate some of these items? I would love to see more of the book. Nice find!

I found mine several years ago on Yahoo Japan Auctions and another on a speciality book site. In fact, there's one for sale on Abe Books here if interested.

I'll take some more picks of some of the more interesting parts a little later.

Awesome video! Wish it was captioned with English subtitles but still worth the watch. I think I'm going to go drive my car now after watching this video!:biggrin:

Would be good to see more scans / photos of this book to see how different it is from other brochures & books on the NSX.

The photos of the engine components in your third photo are the same as have been previously published in a few books and brochures over the years.

Those cases / luggage at the top of the page on your fourth photo looks interesting - not the same as the Italian leather luggage! - is it shaped to fit into the trunk perhaps?

That's my fault. Thought I'd take more pics before we moved boxes of books to storage. I'll do that sometime in the next few weeks and put them in the NSXmobilia FB group.
