Everyone, Anyone   

Am I the only one on this Forum with a Mk1 Ls400 ?       J73PBX

Mine's still here too, used it at the weekend and then for work on Monday:

 

[Malc1]

Wow.  We’re 8% of the UK population ……. a rare and lucky beeed for sure …… wonder where the rest might be 🤔

Mines is almost ready to be road legal again... anyone reccomend where to get parts? In need of windscreen, door latches and speedo cluster.. will door latches from a gen 2 work in a gen1. thanks  ? 

[Malc1]

Wow, think the windscreen could be the biggest challenge tbh 

Pilkington will make you one at £0000’s BUT somewhere in here I was reading long back, a small manufacturer somewhere in the north bespoke makes windscreens too …… might be a classic car glass provider too but not sure …….

the other bits I don’t know ……. the USA still has lots of our Mk1 cars probably but I don’t have a spare parts source name 

Let us know how it all goes …… not sure you’d find one at a Breakers Yard these days 

Our usual source of less expensive new parts could be Amayama …… and Rockauto in the States 

Can’t think LexusPartsDirect or Lexus itself would hold “ old car “ stock nowadays 

We’re  ever so keen to help all we can ……. do keep us posted

My old Mk2 Ls400. reg   BCA3 changed to M470HWO and written off thru vandalism, had 16” wheels I remember

My original Mk1   J54DAP. had 15” wheels

Aidyn hi , how’s your thoughts on  parts searching working out ?

Any mk1 owners want this stuff, bit of a garage clear out.

4 hubcaps, side window glass [4] rear screen,2xigniters, radio[working when removed] engine ECU.

All working when removed clean condition.

ALL FREE, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO COME AND GET 'EM!

WARRINGTON CHES.

Who was it that had their rear screen broken, managed to find a replacement only for kids to break it again so replaced it with plastic or something?

[Malc1]

Rungratesanut. ( Stuart ). Mk2  93 LS400  ?

Roy hi. Your stock  of Mk1 bits is amazing,  especially the rear screen and glass,  well all of it really

Well done for keeping them 

Im about a 400 mile round trip away otherwise I’d be the likely Conservator for us Club Members  

Can you just reconfigure your storage space a while longer please   I’m sure there’ll be some eternally grateful recipient at some future time 🤔

Hi

Yes I can hang on a bit!

 

 

[Malc1]

Thank you 

Malc 

[ROYT]

MK1 owners,  final call.

Free parts as listed above, don't want to scrap 'em.

If no interest I'll put on eBay,  99p start buyer collect.

Roy hi ….. Am I likely to be able to fit the rear screen in the back seat of my Mk1 do you think ? 
 

thanks

Malc 

[Malc1]

Out of interest can you remember the regn of the Mk1 these bits came from 

Thanks

Hi

 Sorry, think it was my old SLK.!

Think I must have binned the old  LS. plate, I might have the old VIN plate, I'll get back to you asap.

cheers

Roy

[ROYT]

Hi Malc

cheers

[Malc1]

Roy hi and thanks for all this data 

You’re about a 400 mile round trip for me I think …… Warrington to ME11 …… Queenborough in Kent 

Do you think the rear screen will sit on the back seat for transporting ok ?  That’s the concern I have 

the other items will fit in the boot I’m sure ok 🤔

And I need to make space at home of course …… thinking the rear screen will be the major to configure somehow

Anyone else reading this have a view on the rear screen fitting on the rear seat ok for transporting ? 
 

Thank you 

Malc 

[ROYT]

Hi Malc

I'll check the fit tomorrow and let you know

cheers

Roy
