Just stumbled across this LS400 at an auction in Sweden which was originally owned by Björn Ulvéus. 

https://bilwebauctions.se/en/augustiauktion-2022/lexus-ls400-51279

Unfortunately for any Abba LS fans out there it has just been sold.  The final price works out to be just under £5k, which seems high but not crazy money.  I guess there's not so much of a premium to be paid for a car that was owned by someone famous after their height of fame. 

Anyway, this got me wondering, has anyone else owned an LS with a famous former owner?

Not quite,but I went to a Joe Brown concert about 10years ago and my wife bought a cd and got it autographed by him at the stage door.He then left in a chauffeur driven Lexus LS.

Nice,friendly and chatty bloke,an excellent entertainer,good guitar and mandolin player,but still hasn,t learnt to sing after all these years.bless him.I,be seen him quite a few times since,so I suppose his singing is growing on me.

Might not be his car.  He might just be doing a bit of chauffeuring on the side 😀

David & Tim. - Do you really think that the guy who was smart enough to tell that Ireland should be given back to the rightful owners cannot drive a Lexus? Would have solved a lot of problems.

 

Or do you mean that making music does not give enough money so he has to be a taxi driver?

John.

I don,t think he will need to do much mini cabbing or deliver pizzas or amazon parcels.If I remember correctly the copyright to quite a few of his songs were sold off years ago and Wacko Jacko bought them ..so Paul now has to pay every tim he performs them.

Yes but he subsequently bought the rights back.

For the older guys out there.

John Baxter was the first vet to have a TV show about his work had an early LS400 but it was as smooth as a limousine to drive.

It's actually Crystal Quartz (4N1 paint code) over Dark Taupe.  Identical to mine except I have tan rather than black leather.  But I agree it would look better with original wheels....or even better with some decent 18s 😁

Surprised that nobody has mentioned Prince Albert of Monaco's LS600HL-glassback.

I have been to Monaco a few times, Bentley Continentals are the equivalent of a Ford Fiesta, can't recall seeing any Lexus vehicles.

There are many ways to speak about people and you know one of them.

And the music has been bought back, so you are really not correct.

Not seen a Ford fiesta for such a long time ..........two of my neighbours have a Bentley, just ordinary one's mind you  ..  as one of several cars they each own ...  and I have the only Lexus for miles around I beleive now  ........  Bentleys  two a penny, well  a halfpenny each then in Queenborough :wink3:

So  I understand.That must have cost a pretty penny.

It's good to see he can (re)control his own music again
