- Honda revives NSX parts and launches a full restoration service.
- Heritage Works expands to more classic Honda sports models soon.
- Orders for Heritage Parts and restorations open worldwide in 2026.
Honda has built its reputation on decades of meticulous craftsmanship. While the brand doesn’t currently offer any dedicated sports cars (unless you count the new Prelude) it hasn’t forgotten about them. It’s opening up a new branch of the business to repair and restore its most important models.

The new initiative, called “Heritage Works,” will officially launch next year, beginning with the car that arguably put Honda on the global performance map: the original NSX.
What’s the Plan?
Honda’s new restoration program is split into two main branches. The first, Honda Heritage Parts, will handle the reproduction and remanufacture of discontinued components.
These include “genuine compatible parts,” recreated using modern materials and updated manufacturing techniques, as well as “genuine reprint parts,” which faithfully duplicate the original components using the same processes and materials from the NSX’s production era.
Up to this point, Honda has continued offering support for older models, but tracking down original components has become more difficult as time goes on. Heritage Parts aims to solve that with a more stable, long-term approach to parts supply.
A dedicated Heritage Works website will go live to catalog these offerings, with global parts availability slated to begin in April 2026.
Factory-Grade Restorations
The second branch is far more ambitious and might sound like Porsche’s Classic Center. Much like the recently discontinued NSX Refresh Plan that dates back to 1993, Honda Restoration Service offers detailed work on classic Honda models.
Honda says the new service will lean heavily on Heritage Parts to restore the NSX’s original performance, refinement, and factory-fresh feel. Work will take place at Honda’s Takanezawa facility in Tochigi Prefecture. That’s fitting since it’s where the NSX was born to begin with.
The plant will offer two restoration tiers: a Basic Restoration addressing core dynamic components such as the engine, suspension, and related performance systems; and a Total Restoration, a more exhaustive overhaul tailored to each vehicle’s exterior, interior, and mechanical condition.
Applications for restoration services for the first-generation NSX (model NA1-100) open through Honda dealers in early January 2026, with work commencing that April. Pricing and detailed procedures will be announced on the Heritage Works website in January.
Additional models will follow. Honda hasn’t named them yet, but it’s safe to assume the S2000 is on that list.
There’s one big catch, though. For now, all restoration work will take place in Japan. That means anyone outside the country, including US-based owners, will need to ship their car overseas to take part in the program.
Still, with new parts production underway, dedicated factory support, and a proper restoration facility behind it, Honda’s Heritage Works looks like a serious commitment to preserving some of the brand’s most significant performance cars, starting with one of its greatest
