Acura begins selling more than 3,000 reproduction parts for first-generation NSX

Acura has started selling more than 3,000 official reproduction parts for the first-generation NSX in the United States, the company's heritage parts programme has now moved from announcement to sales.

The parts are reproductions of components for the original NSX, the mid-engined supercar Honda's luxury arm first built in the early 1990s.

The first-generation NSX is now more than three decades old, and many of its original parts are hard to find. Owners have relied on specialist suppliers and used stock to keep their cars running. An official supply from the manufacturer gives owners a new source for replacement components.

The programme was first announced earlier and has now reached the point where cars can be fitted with the parts. Acura has not said how many NSX cars are still on the road, or how many owners have signed up to buy.

What happens next has not been announced. Acura has not said when more parts will go on sale, whether the range will grow, or whether the programme will expand to other markets. Acura has not said what the parts will cost.
