Au Revoir. Or maybe Sayonara is more apt?

Just taken possession of an immaculate 3 litre Camry, 1998, so my thoughts of coming back to another LS 400 are void- hope I’m not tempting fare here. 69K miles, amazing paint ceramic coating -apparently - plus (messi rated?) Lano sealed underneath. All I have to do is get reacquainted with the size again! It purrs, said deliverer!

I’ll still be popping up on here, I’m sure.

Sounds very nice! I've had a total of five Camrys, including a V6 of the previous generation and a 2.2 Sport of the model like yours. All of them fantastic cars, definitely some Lexus DNA in them.

I suspect there may be another one in my future, especially if I found one as good as yours sounds!

if you have 20 minutes......

now venturing into #your business is important/we are experiencing busy......i.e looking for insurance!

Oh WOW!

Thats is a rare breed - and I as an LS430 owner am jealous!!

I wish I could buy these cars and park them up in my own museum

She's beautiful!

Simply superb. We drove one of these across Western Canada and I can honestly say it equaled my various LS's, I'm envious! Obviously it would be good to know how much you paid!

That’s a very very tidy example 👍🏻..sadly so many got scrapped for their engines …MR2’s do a conversion to fit the 3.0 V6 ☹️

What’s even better …… a garage customer of mine had a Camry Estate, about that era …….. it was absolutely STUNNING a FANTASTIC BEAUTIFUL MACHINE in light green …….. one of the best cars I’d ever seen tbh

This is very nice, I'm jealous too

That looks a peach Chris. Were you particularly looking for a Camry? Or did this just come up?

Both! Had had Messi’s LS400 hovering in my brain though, but thought I’d go for a slightly (!) smaller car.  Has a road-induced rattle I need to investigate, but otherwise, lovely. I expect to have to do bushes etc., but the overall condition is great.
it WAS a bit of serendipity; I wondered if I’d find a  Camry in UK, looked on Autotrader and …..got instantly in touch, staking my claim, so to speak .

My first proper car was a Carina e (2, I think). 1.6L and twas amazing. The seats I conly assume were similar to the wool stuff they have in the Toyota Century and indeed it used to purr.

I'd grown up seeing it outside my mates house as it was his dad that owned it. Lasted me about 3 years or less untilt local mech told me the fuel tank had a hole. What a shame and a waste of luxury car!

Congrats on your new Camry 👏
