Honda launches parts programme for classic models starting with the Honda NSX

Honda is stepping in to support customers who want to keep the brand’s classics on the road for as long as possible. To do so, it will introduce a parts supply programme for selected older models in spring 2026.

Some of these components will not be genuine original parts. The Japanese manufacturer officially calls them “parts compatible with the originals” (or approved replacement parts), stating that they “meet the quality standards expected in terms of function and performance”. They will also be distributed worldwide.

Honda replacement parts for classic models

Honda says this approach is necessary because, as the years pass, it becomes difficult to guarantee the availability of every genuine component for certain discontinued models. The issue will therefore be addressed through alternative solutions, including reconditioned parts and even 3D printing.

Programme begins with the Honda NSX

The initiative will run alongside a new restoration centre based in Japan. Unsurprisingly, the first car covered by the scheme will be the iconic first-generation Honda NSX.

Choosing the NSX as the starting point carries symbolic importance beyond the technical considerations. It is one of the most significant classics in Honda’s history, with a legacy that still captivates enthusiasts around the world.

A broader Honda NSX restoration programme

The new restoration programme will also mark the end of the NSX Refresh Plan, which has operated since 1993 and will close next summer. The replacement restoration programme will be considerably broader and able to respond more effectively, thanks to the introduction of this official replacement parts scheme.

For now, further details have not been released, although Honda says it will have more information to share in the coming months.
