The Appeal
The Lexus GS 460 is a rare thing in the UK luxury car market, with just 14 UK-registered cars and ten currently licensed. With its silky-smooth 4.6-litre V8 engine delivering 340 of power through an advanced 8-speed automatic transmission, they're not to be underestimated.
The vendor tells us:
"I initially purchased this car as I had to do high mileage (visiting parents). Adaptive cruise control and, of course, the V8, coupled to the super-smooth 8-speed automatic gearbox, make this car incredibly easy to drive. I also wanted something unique. This is a real wolf in sheep's clothing. The addition of a full set of winter tyres, wheels and programmed TPM valves ensures this is still exhilarating to drive even with the UK weather."
Having been in the same ownership for over 12 years, this well-maintained example comes with comprehensive service history and practical additions including a complete set of winter wheels and tyres, making it a compelling proposition for someone seeking a supremely capable luxury grand tourer that flies below the radar.
