Quite common for ISFs (London kenmany performance cars) to swap owners over the years. Just make sure the car has excellent service history.

I've had mine for 16 months and plan on keeping it forever.

I'm the 7th owner, first year of it's life it was owned by a Car magazine company who put 20'000 miles on it in 1 year, car has 114590 miles on it now with 11 services recorded in it's life, the 11th was a major one at 106400 miles costing £840, done the week before I picked it up from "Oxford car specialists" 

It is normal for cars like this to change owners a lot as previous owners are usually mad about cars and want to try something new and different, with the isf especially in America previous owners want back into the isf after trying something different because they missed the Lexus comfort and reliability that came with the fast, mad, split personality saloon that is the isf.

Pics of my beasty just because.

Oh and Happy New Year to you all and yours.

@Mark6pot Great write up and pics Mark no need for hang ups on owner numbers as like you it's all about condition condition, and yes matey in isF circles yours is a car with history in more ways than one, huge number of pictures and videos of her back in the day.

Including this topical snow one ☝️

Nice one and thank you for your advice.Same with me,i had many cars but recently Lexus showed me they are in  a different league regarding reliability and customer service.After i drove a lexus i never wanted to go back on other cars.I hope i will find a nice is-f.

Im not a big fan of high owner car but if the car was well looked after and serviced on time it wouldn't stop me from buying. Sports car tend to have high owner tbf.

After checking the car is straight and sound then my theory is that every time a decent car changes hands then this is when a little bit of love and attention may be paid to the very minor niggles that may otherwise be allowed to slide by an owner who has had it some considerable time.
