Didn't want to sell the Volvo... but couldn't pass this one up... Paid £500 for it

1992 Toyota Celsior (jap import) with 55,000 miles on it
Imported in 2003
Lovely 4.0 litre V8

Mods so far include
fatter wheels and tyres + aftermarket air-suspension controller.

No problems that I can tell so far... just praying one of the struts does not go bad

Gotta love how the front has a Lexus emblem whereas the rear has a Toyota emblem. Congratulations though!

It looks a hell of a lot like it is a Lexus LS400. It's hard to imagine finding a '92 LS400 around here with only 55,000 miles on it. Lovely.

God this heat is getting to me, I was just about to ask why it was on a 2003 number plate...

Yup it's basically the same car as the LS400 with some minor differences e.g the rear lights.

I was amazed at the millage as well... the M.O.T receipts and whatnot showed it had only done 18,000 miles before it reached the U.KI

The bloke used it to commute to London for a while and then let it sit on his drive for months... his wife told him to shift it in the end... lol

I'm assuming the L was put on the grill later :P

Just got my first bill for maintenance though...

£100 for 10 litres of transmission fluid (toyota ATF- type IV).. ouch
