A rare site today!

[The-Acre]

We were out walking the dog today and just around the corner there was an H reg burgundy LS400 parked up with big aftermarket wheels, I'm guessing that'll be a MK1.  They really do catch your eye on the rare occasion you see them.

Pity you did not take a photo to share.

There you go, it's still there this morning.

It looks great until one goes below has the classic issues of the Mark 1 "rust" other issues showing on latest Mot are usual culprits for a 30 year old car.

Whenever I see another LS 400 on the road, my heart always misses a beat!

[Cotswold Pete]

That photo makes me a little envious even though it is not a Mk4

[ambermarine]

I have had the exact car and the same colour I now have the Mark 4 and I know which one is the best and most improved but I always loved the no messing look of my Mark 1

That is a rare car on our roads today - low mileage and very tidy considering age

[The-Acre]

How many H reg cars would sit as pretty as that?  Not many for sure.  I think it still looks majestic!

It hadn’t hit 100,000 yet at the last MOT but looking at the history it’s getting a bit poorly now, could be the last one it gets with corrosion and sill rot.

most cars never reach the age of 30 ......  Ls400s are just brilliant .......... and look magnifique

A rare sight indeed.

Great to see an H-reg model, and in that lovely maroon colour too.

I've found excuses to use my K-reg Mk1 for the last three days - haven't got a clue what issues the MoT will throw at me, so I'm just enjoying it while I can. Compares well to my RX in many ways, but not economy - 22 vs. 38mpg.....

Forget the economy........'It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it!'       😊

I know theres a bit of love for a burgandy LS400 here. Had a pretty good MOT history until the last few years when rust and suspension gets mentioned more than you'd like...

they are really starting to ask " big " money for these older cars these days

just wonder if they ever achieve anything like the asking prices !

One day my 1995 Mk3 will be worth lots of £'000s I guess  ............  or perhaps NOT

Looking through the Japanese auction sites the early models 1990-1994 have jumped a lot up in the asking price to the point where they are more than the later models up to 2000.

Nice looking model but if used as a regular car upcoming bills could be considerable.  If looking for this sort of car I think I would go for something like this if mileage can be shown to be genuine and under car work in particular not extensive and car looks good whendry too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-LEXUS-LS430-FULLY-LOADED-WITH-EVERY-EXTRA-POSSIBLE-LS-430-NOT-400-PX/283998008561?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131231084308%26meid%3Dc90692899fa94cafb81fa8135dfa32b9%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D203092844872%26itm%3D283998008561%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganic&_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109
