April 1, 2026 will see the introduction of Honda Heritage Works, a new service business for classic Honda (and Acura) sports models, offering reproduction parts on a global basis to replace discontinued parts, plus a restoration service in Japan.
Honda Heritage Works will comprise two services: Honda Heritage Parts which reproduces and supplies certain discontinued genuine parts, and Honda Restoration Service, a new service to be offered in Japan to restore customer vehicles utilising the reproduced parts.
Both will start with the first-generation NSX, with plans to expand to other classic sport-type models in the future.
To date, Honda has continued to supply genuine service parts for a certain time-period after the discontinuation of the production of its models. However, it has become increasingly difficult to supply many of the parts to support classic models.
Honda will offer both Genuine Honda Heritage Compatible Parts and Genuine Honda Heritage Reproduction Parts under the line-up of Honda Heritage Parts.
Genuine Honda Heritage Compatible Parts are newly redeveloped and reproduced to replace original parts no longer available for sale by Honda. This was made possible by the establishment of a new collaborative framework with parts suppliers, technological advancements, and adoption of new materials and manufacturing methods.
Genuine Honda Heritage Reproduction Parts will be reproduced using the same materials and production methods that were used for the original parts.
Both types of parts will be available globally in the Honda Heritage Parts line-up.
A list of available Honda Heritage Parts will be posted on the official Honda Heritage Works website and updated as new parts are added.
Honda Heritage Parts will also be available globally for purchase through the same distribution channels as other standard Honda genuine parts in each country.
Based on the concept of “thorough pursuit of original driving feel, created by Honda at the time,” since 1993, Honda has been offering restoration services for the first-generation NSX under the name of the NSX Refresh Plan. This service will be renewed as Honda Restoration Service, which will use Honda Heritage Parts to restore the vehicle’s original performance, look and feel as faithfully as possible.
In conjunction with the launch of this service, a Honda facility in Takanezawa, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan – the birthplace of the first-generation NSX and the facility where the NSX Refresh Plan has been operating – will be renamed from Refresh Centre to
Honda Heritage Works Takanezawa. The facility will offer authentic and comprehensive restoration works that only Honda can achieve on two levels.
The first being a Basic Restoration package frequently requested by customers for work on performance-related items such as engines and suspension.
The Total Restoration package includes exterior and interior works as well as more detailed, comprehensive works tailored to the condition of each vehicle.
Starting in early January 2026, applications for restoration works for the first-generation NSX (NA1-100) will be accepted through Honda Car dealerships throughout Japan, with works scheduled to begin in April. No announcement has been made about restoring Australian-delivered NSX models.
