Any more NEW LC500s coming to the UK?

This list has started to be updated for 2024; a surprisingly high number of registrations, in fact it seems to be overall higher than 2023 for most variants. I thought it would have been lower. This may be a more hopeful sign than I was thinking, I might start looking for a newer used model by the end of 2025, as there isn't really another car car out there for me currently that I would want, I would guess the vast majority of these are post-'23 facelifted.

LC's are no longer available to buy new in the UK, so this may be why 2024 is higher, last chance to buy one

Agreed. Totting up the figures, including special editions, there are 339 V8's and 199 hybrids so far in '24. Surprisingly large number of hybrids, about 37%.

I'm a little surprised the over-whelming majority is for Sports+, as I would have thought the base and Sports versions would have sold more than they have.

It may be, because the price differential between the trim levels is relatively small, most people have just said 'let's just go for it'. and ordered the top spec. Unlike other manufacturers, eg Porsche, where basically everything is extra!
