Naturally Balanced. Ahead of Its Time.

The Honda NSX does not need an introduction to anyone who understands cars. Mid engine, naturally aspirated, aluminium chassis, developed with Ayrton Senna. It was ahead of its time when it launched and it holds its own against cars twice its price today.

This one came to ADS not for a quick detail. It came for a full nut and bolt restoration, finished properly from the ground up. Because a car like this deserves nothing less.

The Problem With Time

Classic and modern classic vehicles face a challenge that new cars do not. Time. Decades of driving, storage, and previous ownership leave their mark in ways that are not always immediately visible. Worn surfaces, faded trim, paint that has lost its depth.

The NSX arrived with exactly this kind of history. The bones were right. The car was solid. But it needed to be brought back to the standard it was built to before any protection work could begin.

The Restoration Process

A full nut and bolt restoration means exactly what it says. The vehicle is stripped back, inspected, and rebuilt from the ground up. Every component assessed. Every surface addressed. Nothing assumed to be acceptable just because it was not obviously broken.

For the NSX, this meant a comprehensive refresh before the ADS team moved to the protection stage. A track pack was also completed as part of the build, preparing the car for use the way the owner intends to drive it, not just for looks, but for performance.

What We Delivered

A modern classic, protected the way it deserves.

Why Windscreen Protection Film

At speed on a track or a fast road, the windscreen takes the full force of stone chips and debris that would never reach a car in normal city driving. A chip or crack in an NSX windscreen is not a minor inconvenience. It is an expensive repair and a disruption to the driving experience the owner has invested in rebuilding.

XPEL Windscreen Protection Film sits invisibly across the glass, absorbing impacts that would otherwise cause damage. Optically clear, it does not affect visibility. It simply removes the risk.
