No pictures, but then I read the description ‘RED LEATHER’ 😳😧 🤒 🤢 

@Warrington guy will be along in a moment to defend it 😀

Each to their own 👍

Even before that - red leather is always my first choice... Very practical colour - especially if somebody is bleeding!  

Re: car itself - for some reason I believe it is second time car is being sold and it was "basic" white RC-F, no TVD, ACC/PCS, sunfood - ML is given. Sadly, cannot find the place to decode VIN for it to check - JTHHP5BC405000779

[Warrington guy]

Sorry Dav . I’ve jumped over to the dark side now

What does sunfood do? Limitless energy?

[Linas.P]

Yes... lets say you are plant and that sunshine helps you to do your photosynthesis thingie.. Obviously, in such case sunroof, becomes - sunfood ... "me plant as well - like sunfood very much".

Yep... but I am sure deals can be made... Somehow don't see any RC-F selling at £37k unless it is something exceptional.

083 is F Sport White, not a flat white.

Vehicle build spec:

Spec-50700fdd-eb38-4a8b-9e03-96462996e635.pdf

 

[Linas.P]

It is a bit difficult to read, but it seems I was correct. It will have ML only + protection pack.

My favourite option:

Pop up hood  - Without

"sorry mate - your hood is permanently fixed"

I mean exception of the other exceptional RC-F's for £32k... Are you getting too much into the role of le-plant?

Better off without it IMO. A couple of people have had a very minor front end knock on the IS and triggered it - £3k+ damage. You certainly wouldn't want it on the Carbon edition

That version just shatters into a million pieces instead.

No that is different, you are talking about optional Auto pop-up hood

Not sure I understand that blanket statement.

Do you think you could buy this for less than £37k?

That is what the build schedule is talking about - pedestrian safety pop-up hood, which why it states no because it doesn't have one.

It is not blanket statement.. this is what exactly I mean exception. Car you linked is with only 1000miles (exceptionally low miles), not 21k... it has TVD and ACC/PCS (exceptional equiptment) and it is late 2017 (~6 month old, exceptionally new), sadly no sunfood for le plant. That is what you can call exceptional considering that average RC-F on offer is 2014-15 cars with ~20-30k miles, so it is reflected in the price... I still think £54k is quite steep, considering FL hitting the shelves now, but I understand why it is priced as it is.

So that is the feature then, never understood pedestrian safety on the cars ... I like it...

For anyone still on the lookout there's another one going through Bca Blackbushe on Tuesday.

Carbon edition in white, done 9,000 miles.

@TfpYE65 ZGL I know this car well....... Lexus have tried to sell it through the dealerships for quite some time now, probably approaching 2 years they've obviously given up now.........

Two years is a long time for a dealer to keep a car in stock, do you know what sort of price they were advertising it for?

Are the carbon editions harder to sell?

All F cars are hard to sell (excluding LFA).
