For sale is my cherished and enthusiast owned Lexus LS400. It has genuinely covered only 57, 028 miles from new and is in outstanding condition. It is quite possibly, one of the finest examples available in the British Isles.
When it comes to masterpieces of automotive engineering and absolute refinement, the Lexus LS400 often finds itself positioned at the very top of almost every list. It is a car that needs no introduction to those that know. It is without doubt a motoring icon and a benchmark for unparalleled reliability, unsurpassed refinement and unquestionable enjoyment. My Father and I are enthusiasts of these wonderful machines and this example is my very own.
The car is finished in the beautiful colour scheme of Cashmere Beige Metallic with a contrasting Sussex Beige leather interior and a light walnut wood trim.
The car comes complete with an array of features that one would only expect from a Lexus. Items of interest include fully heated front and rear seats, fully electric front seats with memory function, touch screen satellite navigation, an exceptional Lexus premium audio system with a cassette player and a CD changer neatly installed in a wooden-laid enclosure in the dash, electric steering wheel adjustment, cruise control, an electric glass sunroof, very powerful Bi-Xenon headlights, rear parking sensors and so much more.
The car also comes specified with the very rare Dynamic Handling Package which consists of larger 17" alloy wheels and more controlled suspension. The drive is superb.
The car benefits from a number of unique features including a fully bespoke and tailored boot lining in diamond quilted Oyster trim with fitted Lexus umbrellas to the seat backs. The unique alloy wheels have been professionally refurbished and polished and look superb. The brake calipers have not been left unattended to as they have also been professionally painted.
The service record is extensive considering the low mileage the car has covered. It has been fully serviced by Lexus Edinburgh within the past 200 miles. In addition to the service I have had new front discs and pads installed, a full four wheel alignment, an air-conditioning service, new bonnet struts, a new battery and a detailed machine polish to name but a few.

From the years 2002 to 2010 the car was owned by a semi-retired pilot. The car was serviced every year when the car was given a new Mot by a well established and trusted garage who are a stones throw away from Heathrow Airport. The garage confirmed this when I spoke to them and offered to stamp the service booklet. I have not sent the book yet. Also, the space for the stamps would be after the ones that show in later years. That being said, it is the story/ history behind the car.
