Other than the 40-series (SC430).....

The 20-series Soarer came in an aerotop version with a folding steel roof.

As far as the 30-series is concerned, there are some conversions in the US, I believe, and there is one in Japan (owned by an Englishman) with a 5-litre stroker 1UZ-FE, hydraulics, and a M112 Eaton supercharger

I live in Leeds and i'd be interested to view the car, what colour is it, dont really see many Soarers round Leeds. I could probably take some photos of the car if you want to post them up somewhere as well.

I will definately upload the pics soon, once I have time. Busy between work and looking after my partner who is very ill at the moment. Garethr, where about in Leeds are you???

Mark, thanks for the links and info. so I take it my lexus would get a good price when I decide to sell it one day??!! hmm that's tempting me!! any offers?!

By the way Gareth, you might have seen my old soarer around Leeds before. It had a distictive number foriegn number plate of "101".

They are nice ,would realy like one to replace my GS300 .Been thinking of a soarer for a while to garage and use as a weekend car ,but a convertible would be the nuts .what sort of money do these fetch .

There were only ever two made. It was a project by a custom tuning company. Its labelled as an SC500 because its been bored out to about 4.8ltr. I was at Kingsclere on Saturday and saw and heard it. Jeeez... it was awesome. The sound was amazing. It looks far better in the flesh than in the photo's as well. The roof takes about 30 seconds to come up (fully automatic) and it looks sweet even with it up. The main thing that got me though was the engine. Supercharged and stoked. It flew up the road with the most gorgious roar.
