They don’t have a switch in the armrest 👍🏻 battery drain can be an issue with some examples , tracker fitted by dealer will kill a battery in a week ! Possible boot lights staying in etc Try locking it with the key, not the alarm will help.
-
Tell us more 👍🏻👍🏻 ..just seen your new thread on the subject 😎
-
Sorry to say Sherlock it’s off to specsavers with you 😉 Different trousers, both colour and cut of pockets.
-
Brake/suspension cleaning and painting all finished 😎
-
Lovely original looking example 😎😎
-
I use a tomtom for my trips out ,low on screen right hand side .
-
Like other cars I’ve done this too…the underseal can be topped up yearly. It’s not going to see salt from the roads , I’ve got RAV4 in the household to do winter work 👍🏻
-
I really should get out more 😉
-
No room for that !
-
Finishing touch this morning …decal.
-
I mixed up black and blue until it looked similar 👍🏻
-
To my eye every other panel looks a different shade, more o/s/f wing to door and n/s/r wing to bumper. think the roof has been lowered wet and has left water marks in the boot. Have seen those red seatbelts before …will have a look through my photos 👍🏻

Disappointed to find it raining this morning.. had plans to work on SC . Weather bucked up late morning ..so got busy . Refurbished another inner wheel rim, the decided on the shade of blue Caliper paint , will finish off with gold Lexus decals .
-
This is how it’s located in my car. its a 096 quite a common fitment 👍🏻
-
Need space for the stuff you buy, you know straw donkey etc 😉
-
Now do we guess or have you tried 🤔
-
Just noticed the roof lining has dropped, not seen that before .

Does look very very clean and tidy both body and interior..things go down hill with the bonnet open 😮 Rusty radiator brackets , battery jacket missing . History wise, not been mot’ed or taxed since last March 2023. As a rule of thumb, rusty radiator brackets ,corroded underside. would definitely make a very good show car and a rare colour, price is a bit top heavy but acceptable if it’s dealer service stamp for every year of its life. Photo’s too shaded to see brand of tyres ☹️ …Send Gary around he’s our best negotiator for a good deal !😁😁
-
Gardening at the moment…will have a look in a bit 👍🏻
-
Battery is just facing back to front , positive + terminal will be in top left hand corner when fitted 👍🏻👍🏻
-
I’ve done my own timing belt ..it’s very logical to do, the independent sport car dealer should be able to do it . Dozens of YouTube clips of how it’s done if they need to see how it’s done . Poor show for Toyota not getting back to you …chase them up.
-
Do you have a Toyota dealer near you at home ?
-
Replacing the timing belt is the insurance policy you don’t get a 5-10k destroyed engine . Owners are just playing Russian roulette if it’s over due. With used SC430’s it’s finding the balance between a totally neglected model to ones that only ever seen a main dealer for everything. Gary’s example was one they stands out to me, very low price paid yet only needed servicing etc 👍🏻

This one seems rather top heavy on price ….. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202403247922348

This looks a very clean and tidy example, only observation is the wheels being off a Rx300 are thinner than the original SC wheels ☹️ SC 18 X 8 RX 18 X 7 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202403247921066
