Factory gold badge example with genuine gold-plated badges
Service history stamped in the booklet up to 57,000 miles, with supporting paperwork thereafter
Advisory-free MOT until 26th April 2027
Kept in dry storage during current ownership
The Appeal
Spoof DJ Alan Partridge got something right: Lexus really did build "the Japanese Mercedes". The LS400 is the car that redefined what a luxury saloon could be. With its silky 4.0-litre V8, legendary build quality, and a refinement that famously sent shockwaves through the established European marques, the LS400 has earned a devoted following, and good examples are becoming increasingly sought after.
This 1996 example is a factory gold badge car, featuring genuine gold-plated badges and a full black interior. It has had just 2 former registered keepers, with the previous owner having the car from 2002, and it comes with a service history stamped in the booklet up to 57,000 miles, supported by paperwork beyond that. Under current ownership, the car has been kept in dry storage and has received a full service, along with further maintenance work detailed below. The vendor reports the underside is in very good condition and describes the car as an absolute pleasure to drive.image.png3.7 MB

Vendor says, 'mileage might raise slightly as the car will have to move from my storage unit to another, and also might raise depending on how many people are interested to come and look at it.'
