What a find!

[Scribe]

Well, I never thought I would, but I've managed to track down and acquire (at an expense I can't really afford) an ultra-rare LS Compact.  I don't know how many were made, but I've never actually seen one in the flesh before.  I'd have liked a different colour from my LS400, but that doesn't really matter.

As you can see, the bonnet, boot and rear doors are shorter, but the front doors look the same as on the 400.  Wheels too.  Under the bonnet is the engine from the IS200, I think.

Of course it hasn't got the room or refinement of the 400, but I feel very lucky to have such a rare machine.

Well done. Looks nice. Enjoy.

Been off line for a bit, but I love this model.

So next weekend I will be getting the angle grinder to mine and getting rid of the radiator to shorten the bonnet (probably going to go for air-cooling on the old V8.)

Once all that is done I will photoshop to make mine as good as this.
