NSX Crystal...can I buy yours??

nsxtasy · 23 October 2001

The small (1/24?) crystal cars that you guys are describing are not part of the same series as the NSX that came as an official Honda part.

The Honda part must be 1/18 scale, because mine is almost exactly nine and a half inches long. (The crystal NSX.

)

...do not wait for an answer... I do not think they update the page anymore.

MAGIC CRISTAL - KAUFMANN PETER

Natel: 079 / 44 62 74

This is the contact person on the page (they are based in Switzerland) and his mobile number is VERY old: at least 2 years ago we swapped from six to seven digits MSISDNs (=number for GSM phones).

UPDATE: this company does not appear in the company directory, either for Chatonnaye and in the whole Switzerland! David lives around there... do you maybe know them?

THink anyone would sell it for $2000, or $5000 or $10,000?

nsxtasy · 28 October 2001

There's probably a certain point where someone would be willing to sell his.

Just like there's probably a certain point where you would be willing to sell your pewter NSX.

Hi Giuseppe, you are right, I live at less than 15km from Chatonnaye,

I am going to go there today to verify if this company still exists.

I hope that you returned well to home yesterday after our gathering.

Ciao
David

You can probably have one custom made by a highly skilled glass/crystal worker (is that what they are called?).

Yes... wonderful back trip, thanks David for the awesome kart-day!
George and me did some speeding and arrived back in Zürich 15min before Lino!

Tell me when the foto are online... I forgot my digicam

Anyone invented a replicator yet?

is the pewter nsx (key chain) really worth something or are you being sarcastic? i got mine a while back on ebay for $11.

Francis (s2ktaxi) has a 1/18 scale pewter NSX. It's the only one I know of.

This model, and many others, are pictured in the NSX Model List maintained as a part of the NSX FAQ.

PS: think that I can fool anyone by painting Kyosho models with some nicy shiny aluminum paint and saying that they are pewter?

I hope he doesn't mind me posting this but here goes. Bill Zachar, vice-pres of NSXCA, has an original Honda-part crystal NSX. It was given to him by a friend of his from Japan who was attending last year's (2000) NSXPO. I've seen it in its original box with Honda part number on it. It's beautiful. I don't recall the list price but $400 sounds about right.

Veleno · 13 November 2001

WOW! I'd love to have both the crystal NSX and that pewter NSX, what a combo to have

They are no longer available, haven't been for years.

I've already turned down offers of $1000 for mine...

> I am aware of only 4 of them in North America, and none of them are for sale.

Please add mine to your list.

re: crystal models in 1/18
IIRC, there were a Porsche 911 and BMW (not sure which models) that were offered for about $50. I think it was from a BMW catalog (possibly Rocky Mountain) or even Imparts.

Lambo just issued a pewter 1/18 model of their new Murcielago. I saw some at their factory store in Sant'Agata... price approx $330-350 (rough conversion from Euro).

David,
regarding the link above (Magic Crystal), in October last year I was not able to find anything about them but now I found that the contact person has this entry:

Kaufmann Peter
rte de Payerne 45
1553 Châtonnaye

Tel. 026 658 02 74

Did you ever try to pass by? Maybe they are still able to produce the NSX!

NSX Crystal...can I buy yours??
