Description
1997 LEXUS LS400 — GOLD — 139, 000 MILES — £7, 250 ono
18, 000 miles in 18 years. Garaged the whole time.
Most of that 139k was covered before 2008. Since then it’s barely been used, and there’s over 20 years of unbroken MOT history to prove it.
£3, 000 spent in recent months — and none of it was repairs.
Timing chain tensioner. Water pump. Fan belt and tensioner. AC pump, fully recharged and blowing cold. Full service alongside it. This is the preventative work that catches most 1UZ-FE owners out eventually, done early and done properly, so the next owner inherits a car that’s already been through it rather than one waiting to spring a bill.
Original in every respect.
No modifications, no cut corners, no previous owner’s idea of an improvement. Completely factory specification, exactly as Lexus intended when this car was built to embarrass Mercedes and BMW — and did.
Condition.
Bodywork excellent. Electrics all working as they should. Mechanically superb. Nine previous owners; two small rust spots. Everything else has been sorted.
It drives like a dream.
That famous LS400 silence and effortless V8 torque, still completely intact after nearly thirty years. These cars are getting genuinely hard to find in original, honest, well-documented condition — most have been neglected, modified or driven into the ground long before now.
Needs nothing but a new owner.
£7, 250 ono. Viewing welcome.
